Sweet, how do you like the Hawke red dot. I'd like to try one.

@@AlsAirguns The best RedDot I own right now. The 11 settings are all very crisp and the field of view is huge. Perfect sight for my range.

I found out that I like shooting at night in near full darkness with only the target lit up,my weapon light and the RedDot.

Brother, I am envious. 😎

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your experience. I have to admit I'm a bit jealous of your IZH, I really with I'd been smart enough to get one of those when they were available. Take care & happy shooting.

Are you of Croatian ancestry?

@@johnnybbgunner2136 Yes…

@@ilijabosnjak76 Me too. Real name is Ivica Lucic.

Cool. I want to try one of those magazines too.

You've seen why the 2240 remains one of the top C)2 pistols out there Happy shooting & stay safe.

Indeed it will. And there is no better air pistol in the price range 2240's are available. Superbly accurate. Nothing wrong with the plastic breech for those who prefer irons.

Coming soon!

I was using a CenterPoint Red Dot.

Absolutely!

Awesome, thank you!

20 yards is realistic if your aim is good.

You’re right. I’m not aware of anything more accurate & powerful for the money, I’m planning a customization build on a new 2240xl that I’ve ordered. I’m thinking of doing a PCP conversion as a part of that build.

It's permanently attached to the barrel so you'll need a separate adapter for the longer barrel.

@@AlsAirguns normally they just use a grub screw or two to hold it onto the barrel I don't know why they would permanently attach it

@@Jb_outdooradventures It's being sold as a threaded barrel. Because of the thread size they needed to increase the barrel diameter. So they press fit he adapter on. Hopefully they'll offer it in additional barrel lengths as well. I actually prefer what they've done over a removable adapter which often introduces alignment issues.

@@Jb_outdooradventures if it’s press fit you MIGHT be able to apply heat to expand it while running water through the barrel to keep it from expanding as much. To install it on another barrel put the barrel in a freezer then heat the thread adapter and drop it onto the barrel. As it cools it will lock itself in place. It’s the same process as installing a starter ring gear on a flywheel. If that’s more than you care to go through there are a few people selling them on eBay and I’ve seen a few shops selling them but at $40-ish dollars it’s a bit expensive. Good luck. 🍀 🍀

The Diana Airbug (CO2) is a really interesting repeater. It's based off a series of Chinese pistols who's name escapes me. But over all they seem to be well thought of. The Airbug can use Diana's 7 or 9 shot magazine (.22 or .177). Which is an advantage. Unfortunately, I've never shot or held one before. So I can't comment on accuracy or quality of construction. I suspect it's a pretty good pistol. That being said, I also believe the Crosman is probably better built in terms of materials, assembly and quality control.

Absolutely! It doesn't come across in the recording but it makes the gun amazingly quiet. If quiet is important, the suppressor make a huge difference.

@@AlsAirguns Thanks Al , what suppression devices are the best for the money ? I’m looking forward to getting one .

If you have the threaded barrel like the 2240XL does and are in the USA, I'd say the DONNYFL Tanto or Sumo models. If you have a standard non-threaded barrel, you can use those but will need to order an adapter. With standard Crosman barrels I've had excellent luck with the TKO moderators. They are about half the price of the DonnyFLs but they are a semi-permanent addition and don/t move between guns or go on and off easily. They're also not built out of metal, so while they're less expensive they may be less durable. That said I've owned many and been extremely happy with them. Both companies are know of great service.

People are having great results from the DonnyFL Tanto and Sumo models.

@@AlsAirguns Thanks. Unfortunately they are not legal in Canada

Actually, I've been playing with finishes, including hydro-dipping camo patterns like RealTree (tm). I want to try Cerikote and basic powder coating this year. But with time and budget being what they are probably not before next spring.

I’m guessing not yet. Crosman doesn’t even show it on their US website. It would also need to have the power reduced to be okay in Canada & UK (as I understand it.)

Thanks for the reply 👍🏼

I've shot the 16 grain Predator Polymags in it & they shoot very well. Haven't tried the Gamo's but assume the results would be similar.

You are 100% correct regarding hammer bounce in the 2240 and similar CO2 pellet guns. Over the years there have been "de-bouncers" made on a limited basis. Many years ago I tried the one designed by SteveinNC. Unfortunately the one I had did not hold up. But you are absolutely right about what you're hearing.

@@AlsAirguns have you tried any captured spring devices so the hammer doesn’t end up suspended between the two springs?

No I have not had a chance to try anything like that.

@@AlsAirguns that’s something I plan to try in the future. If I have any luck with it I’ll post a video. Thanks for the input. Have a great day and be safe out there!

Good luck! I look forward to hearing more about it.

DonnyFL Tanto Model is what I used.

@BigDawg76773, Awesome! 😎

If it was shooting that way out of the box. Take it back or contact Crosman. Otherwise, when did it start shooting that way?

@@AlsAirguns Today, Just for something to do, I put a stock 10" 1.77 barrel & probe in it to see how it would shoot. It is like a high velocity laser beam now !! maybe 33 Good shots. I think I'll keep it in this config

Cool, I’m glad it worked out for you. 👍🏻
