Can’t go wrong for the price
Pros
First and foremost,,,This is the most accurate air pistol I’ve ever used, consistently hit a 4” metal disk at 52 yards,and that’s for 21 shots per fill
Cons
Be able to purchase more magazines, tuff to find and when you do they are a bit salty.,that being said ,,,,love this pistol
Pros
Shot well until the air ran out and that's all I know. 7 shots. Shoots straight and accurate. It is fun. I want more.
Cons
Aweful, aweful filling tube. I have an AirVenturi compressor with the correct adaptors and I cannot fill this gun quickly. I have filled it twice and it took more than 20 mins. No air goes in. It seeps out around the filler nozzle. I'll keep trying but I'm not happy at all. I have waited since February for this air pistol and now I'm disappointed. It wouldn't be so bad if the tank held more air but after two rounds totaling 14 shots it needs a fill up. I don't have any issues filling my BSA r 10 or AirForce Talon.
Pros
I do not like to write review but this time I have to do it
I got Brake barrel riffle I want something different
Cons
this thing a wonderful until I have problem I don't call nobody to fix it
1- the cap from the suppressor fall out ok not problem I put it back
2 the magazine got stock with a pellet so I have to take the barrel out to free the magazine from the pellet I spent hours to try to take the barrel out pulling, pulling finally I got it, but to put it back I have to smooth the base got scrash "of course is aluminum" ok no problem
3 now the safe stock on lock position @#$$%% finally after spend more time I putting some oil in it now is working free
what a pain
Pros
This pellet pistol is awesome don't care what anyone else says the iron sights are good enuf to take small game i bought the.22 and am very impressed by its power for 175 bucks I have no complaints other than the air res should be bigger so I can get more shots per fill this gun is a very good gun for an entry level pcp easy to fill with air easy to shoot lots of fun
Cons
No cons
Never fired a PCP gun before and wanted something entry level to try out. Got the Bandit (.22 version) at Airgun Depot and a cheep (less then 50 dollars) hand pump from Amazon. Takes about 30 pumps to charge from 1 bar to 2 and gets about 25 shots till I have to recharge again. Been using Crosman 14.3 Hollow points ... very inexpensive and accurate ... no need for expensive pellets. Would have rated 5 stars if not for Issue with sights and moderator.
Pros
Price ... Nice entry PCP Pistol. Seems well build ... Like the left hand bolt for loading. Have put about 500 rounds though it so far. Accuracy ... at 10 meters (the distant I have set up in my garage range) this pistole will stack pellets on top of and right next to each other. Dime size groupings are not a problem.
Cons
Sights that come with Bandit are too hard for my eyes pick up correctly. Also to get anywhere near correct elevation I ran out of threads on adjustment screw ... longer screw is needed. Not a real problem because I replaced original rear sights with a red dot. Can't remove the Moderator from the barrel ... seems to have Loctite on it. Bandit came with a threaded barrel cap in box so Moderator should easily detach from Barrel. So not sure why a form of Loctite was used.
Pros
Powerful accurate quick to fill 3 magazines per fill quiet
Ordered the Diana Bandit. Also ordered the barrel band and the regulator. Set the regulator at 140 Bar and painted the front sight red. Zeroed the pistol in about 15 minutes. 15 to 25 yards point of aim. Very accurate even with iron sights! Get after it! Buy it!
Pros
Best PCP pistol for the money! Hole in hole accuracy at 25 yards. Cocking lever works very smooth. Pistol cycles the magazine flawlessly.
Cons
Should come with the barrel band and regulator. Cheap rear sight.
This pistol is my first jump into PCP airguns and I don't think I could have made a better choice than this Diana Bandit! I took the advice of a review I saw on youtube and installed a barrel band connecting the air tank to the barrel just aft of the front sight and this installation went flawlessly. Now, the pistol seems much more robust and secure! The results in the associated video showed the grouping much tighter. The three barrel retaining screws were easily removed and a matching divot in the barrel under the center screw indexed the barrel perfectly. I also wondered just how many pumps from a handpump it would take to get the 50cc reservoir up to the red band and I was seriously pleased to find the Air Venturi G9 handpump up to the task with hardly any effort on my part! A few full stroke pumps with this G9 pump and I was at the redline! I'm actually pretty lucky I didn't overcharge as I expected several minutes of pumping!
Pros
The sheer quality of construction!
Cons
I've yet to put the gun to a physical test, but my only con so far would be the grip may not fit my large hand as well as I would like. Should I choose to customize the wood for my hand, this grip comes with PLENTY of wood. I just don't want to change a great finish unnecessarily so I'll get to shooting it first.
A must if you like collecting these type of guns!
Pros
It’s amazing right out of box, gun is light and quiet I waited a long time to finally get this and so worth the wait thanks A.G.D. For getting these .
Cons
None
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.There is a bottled gas company near me. Could I rent a tank of co2 from them for refilling?
asked Peter from USAPCPs are getting to be like Teslas. Sitting here checking my back order. I saw somewhere that these were expected back in stock 11/22. Where did I see that? I got my pump. I got my ammo. I got my squirrels, rats, and turtles. Just need my Bandit.
asked Sean from USAIs there a Bleed Valve on this somewhere?
asked James from USADoes it come with pump if not what’s the best one
asked Brad from USAThe Bandit does NOT come with an air pump. Being the penny pincher that I am yet pleased as I could be with Air Venturi, I bought the Air Venturi G9 hand pump for my Bandit. Between the Bandit and the G9, I had everything I needed to assemble the pump and connect it to the Bandit. Worked efficiently and flawlessly!
Leslie from USAcan you use a laser sight in this pistol? Which one?
asked Rolando from GuatemalaYes, you would want to search for any laser sight that is compatible with an 11mm dovetail mount - "11mm dovetail laser sight" on amazon or google will start you on the right path.
Logan from USAIn a review above a "barrel band connecting the air tank to the barrel" was recommended. Can you point me to where I can purchase one? And please answer the question below about a pistol scope recommendation.
asked John from USACrossman May have one. Call Diana USA see if they can provide a soars.
James from USABuy it right here at Airgun Depot! Part #AGD-A8553 is what you are looking for though the description does not say anything about fitting the Bandit. It DOES fit the Bandit!
Leslie from USAWhich scope works best for a bandit?
asked Larry from USAFill probe size?
asked Curtis from USAFoster fitting.
James from USACan the silencer be removed to make it less lengthier. Noise is not an issue
asked Richard from USAAlso it leaves bare threads showing and the internal parts of the silencer can fall out and you might put them together wrong, as I did!!!
Ray from USAYou can remove the silencer, as it is screwed on, but it is not designed to shoot that way.
Ray from USAIf I want to buy extra Mags; what type does it take, and how much are they.
asked Richard from USAIf I buy a scuba tank 80cf, what kind of valve do I need on the tank?
asked Richard from USAWhere on the pistol do you fill, what type of fill hose do I need?
asked Richard from USAEffective range ?
asked Will from USAIs the barrel threaded? Can I put a aftermarket suppressor on it?
asked Zackree from USAYes. The barrel is threaded. The suppressor is epoxied on. Some may come off easily. Some will be very difficult to remove.
Mark from USAWhere can I get a right side bolt receiver?
asked Kevin from USATo get a right hand breech block e-mail : [email protected]
Mark from USAIs this a left or right handed gun? What pump s required?
asked Michael from USAThe grip is ambidexterous. The bolt handle on the left side of the receiver. You can get a receiver that has the bolt on the right side. Any hand pump will fill the Bandit.
Mark from USAI see that the bandit in .22 gets 630 fps. so said the ads. I have seen other bandit owners saying faster fps. speeds. WHAT WOULD BE A FAIR speed for a charged .22 Bandit and with what pellet/s? I'd be really happy with near 700 fps. Thanx all. Love the extreme power of my shin sung Career rifles but will never happen in a pistol.
asked robt. merckHey guys was wondering what you thought of Bullseye scope mount. Is it worth it or just gingerbread. THANKS Steve Hall
asked Stephen from USAAre you able to holster it?
asked Owendo you think the diana bandit is powerful enough to harvest squirels at about lets say 20 to 25 yards
asked dannyAbsolutely, that is my primary use for this gun in .22
Logan from USAHow long would it be if I took off the silencer? Thanks
asked NoahWhere can I purchase additional 9-round rotory magazines for the Diana Bandit?
asked Jamescan you change the barrel to something like the attaman ap16 barrel
asked Daniel PotthoffDoes it come with pump
asked Mike from USAWhat is the best pellet so far ,weight in grains at what distance.
asked Juan from USAHow many shots can you shoot with it before you have to refill the tank? Thank you.
asked Joseph from USAan you delivery to the China?
asked dio
Can’t go wrong for this price,,,,,thank you airgun depot
Pros
This is a real “shooter”. I consistently hit a 5” steel target at 52 yards and it hits HARD!
Cons
Need more magazines,performs so well just want to keep shootin
