Any pistol or combo lover MUST feild try a Diana.... Ergonomic, simply, accurate!!!!!! Everything all air gun makers should go... Diana Does!
Pros
Where to start... Ah,.. I love EVERYTHING about all Dianas pistols... For what you pay... Never beat it... Comfortable in hand, simplistic... What a class gun should be!
Seldom are... Ive had about 10 different pistols, all types... Only Dianas can be call MYfavorite!!!
Cons
I have owned 3 Diana pistols, and 3 chasers!
One problem,:the bolt.. Too spinndly, thin.., two, I have broken, my fdult, but the bolts metal acts more like cast steel instead of solid bar steel. With care... Its of No consequence.. But if youre like me... I tend to get... Per occupied... Lol... Ok, clumsy at times!
Works great off a hand pump or an air tank
Pros
I have 6PCP and 2 brake barrels I shoot this one the most what a blast
Haven't had very long so far.
Pros
Very accurate, shot a few flowers in half, fun to use.
Cons
First one came defective, jammed immediately. Airgundepot replaced it promptly and the next one worked great!
Would have been a perfect purchase if I had received the case as pictured in the ad.
Pros
Love this gun!
Cons
I didnt receive the case as pictured
I'm in the process of designing a small muzzle cap to take the place of the large (whatever the heck u call it) silencer.
Pros
With a laser dot u can "shoot from the hip.
After reading about the "massive" wood handle/stock (what ever u call it), grip, I had my doubts and had already bought a replacement BUT! I'm beginning to like it alot. I don't think I want to change itout any more.
Nice and light. I'm trying to use it without the front silencer to see how loud it really is.
Cons
I have never recharged my Diana stormrider as often asi charge this herr bandit.
Trigger spring is way too strong. I replaced with a weaker spring and molybdenum greased the release lever and now its a slick & easy pull. Maybe 2 lb. pull but I'd bet it's like 1lb.
One big problem is that ther is NO pin hole to stop a scope from walking. This is a big problem. I plan on drilling out one of the rear sight mounting holes to the size of a stop pin so I can put a secure a scope mount. The little laser pointer I'm useing hasn't "walked" yet but I'm afraid if I bump it it will move and mis-align again. This is a big flaw and Diana manufacturers should have thought of this problem.
I'm having problems with the 9 shot pellet holder (.177 of course) which is exactly the same as my Diana Stormrider which I do not have any problems loading the 1st pellet. But this bandit actually deforms the skirt of the 1st pellet so much it won't load. push pellet in the cartridge further helps.
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
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
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!
Les 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!
Les 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
if you are looking for a nice PCP that is a step above entry level at an entry level price this fits the bill. If you are looking for more than a 21 to 28 round shot string without a refill this in not going to be your gun, for me with my little Tuxing air compressor this little lady ( Diana.) did not rob ( bandit ) me blind. This little PCP pistol fills the gap with fun while waiting on my PCP rifles to fill up.
Pros
I Put a little reflex red-dot sight on it and I am hitting consistent one-inch shot strings at 18 to 20 yards free handed. The Diana Bandit is good for about three magazines ( 21 rounds ) and maybe a few more then it is time to put another 200 Bar ( around 2.900 P.S.I. ) in her reservoir but she airs up quick with a hand pump or an air compressor.
Cons
Backyard friendly, accurate, ( I have not ran Chronograph numbers yet ) sighted it in with a cheap reflex red dot sight and have been consistent at 18 to 20 yards and I am not that great of a shot, she makes me look like I know what I am doing.
