Beeman Red Dot .177 Caliber Air Pistol

I LOVE THIS PISTOL! There I got it out of my system. My Daisy CO2 air pistol is nice and granted it is a BB repeater and smooth bore, but trigger pull is poor & accuracy can't even compare with the accuracy. Some say the cocking is hard but if you push the red dot sight up a bit further It makes a big difference in leverage. The fact that it kicks on Safety upon cocking is a bit of a pain, but understandable and easily lived with. The red dot sight is ok and stays on target ok it would be a bit better with a medium brightness as full on it covers the bullseye on the target completely hurting accuracy. I replaced it with a Celestron adjustable brightness red dot and my accuracy got a lot better. I would get good groups but then throw a flier, this was the ammo and not the gun itself so best bet is avoid the cheap stuff. I do not think feeding a pellet is difficult and I am 6'1" and 200 pounds with NOT tiny hands. I got some JSB Diablo Exact pellets from Pyramyd air and I actually shot a cloverleaf at 25 feet! that is amazing for a $49.00 piece! I cannot do it all the time, again my shooting and not the guns fault. The open fiber optic sights are a very nice plus, Everything about this pistol feels higher quality than it should at this price range. The red dot sight itself is about a $10.00 item. I have a feeling these may become a collectors piece it this model production is stopped. Granted it is Synthetic and Metal composition, but it has a very nice feel. It has enough weight that it doesn't feel like a toy. I find it amazing I get 420 FPS from a spring fired pistol. The only suggestion would be to raise the red dot base enough to use the iron sights looking under the red dot sight.. Thank you BudK

This is a great .177 pellet pistol, cocking it is a bit tough, my teenage daughter can't do it by herself! So you don't have to worry about kids playing with this as they can't cock it! Trigger pull is light and firing sound is a bit loud. Accuracy is dead on. The red dot is nice but the guns sites are better. Loading the pellet is a little tight, if you have fat fingers forget it....ive had this gun for about 8yrs and it's still one of my favorites to plink cans with. Overall I'd rate this gun an 8 on quality, an 8 on loudness, a 10 on accuracy and power

Very accurate and well made. Giving it a 5 for what it is- a single shot. Its a bit of work opening and closing the gun to cock it, but the weopon is sturdy and well built and not a toy.
