I was doing some target practice when all of the sudden I pulled the trigger and I heard a muffled POP and the pellet is still in the barrel. I re-cocked, pulled the trigger and you can hear the hammer hit but only a hiss happens, no projectile launch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had a similar issue with an air rifle. I found the transfer port obstructed with lead from a shredded pellet.

With a pellet stuck in the barrel all you will get is that hiss, as the air slowly sneaks around breech seal & such. Had a DAQ .458 do the same.
You may ( likely) have a mechanical problem but you must remove that pellet before diagnosing it.
A blocked transfer port would reduce psi enough to prevent the pellet exiting . A valve stme driven into/through the poppet head would cause what you describe IF no pellet stuck. Naturally could be ... ... ... .
Get that pellet out the check, if you do have a problem ( it is possible one pellet could be SO oversize that a low power rig could chamber but not make it out) , deside what you'd like to do - return or DIY repair with free parts- and give crosman's excellent service department a call.
And please let us know the issue/outcome.

BEFORE trying anything... ASIDE from carefully removing the lodged pellet using a fiberglass or wooden dowel from the muzzle end...

Thanks for the replies! It looks like it was as simple as a stuck pellet, thank god! Got the pellet out, put her back together, filled her up and she fired like normal!

Next time that happens be sure to remove the magazine first before trying to shoot another round
if you want to try to shoot that stuck pellet out.
Also if it is a 177 then stay away from the Crosman Premier Pointeds, they are too oversized and
can get easily get stuck in the barrel of lower powered PCPs and SSPs.
I would also caution on using heavy 22 caliber pellets few examples such as the Barracuda or Kodiaks or Monsters or Beasts to minimize the problem.
If the problem persists then change to a lighter pellet or size them before shooting.
