If you could only have one CO2 pistol?

[Septicdeath]

For you that shoot CO2 pistols. If you could only own one CO2 pistol. Which one?

My pick would be a 38T .22 the reasons. It's a .22, very fun to shoot. Accurate single action, a great trigger not bad as a double action. The history behind the two models. It almost all metal construction. The gun is not complicated to repair. 5 easy mods for it. The revolver has the weight, the size, the correct grips, the adjustable sights, firing action and all the features in which the pistol it replicates.

Oh did I mention how much fun they are?

I dont like Co2 anything its a springer or a PCP for me, To me Co2 seems to be just a big sink hole, got to buy the Co2 cartages and cant leave a used cartage in the gun, It will just leak out... I do not see any Pros to shooting a Co2.

[MikeVV]

Yeah, me too. Not much of a fan of CO2.
I've bought a few here and there, and not been satisfied much, if at all.

Out of a "few", CO2 guns.

The Umarex Walther CP99.

And the Umarex Colt Government 1911 A1.

Are the only ones that I've kept up with, kept clean, etc.
I actually melted two in a cast iron pan with a torch, just for the hell of it !

Then why even reply.

The pros
To improve your Handgun skills
Fun
Indoor shooting all year
Teaching young shooters gun safety
To name a few.

Shoot a CO2 until your done. Don't leave a gun charged. It will ruin your seals.

At least you gave a answer. The 1911 decent.

 

[houston]

Crosman 600. Buy it you'll like it.

[rcarlisle]

If I were to get another Co2 pistol, it would likely be a Crosman 157. Simple and classy! And it would be right at home with my 1701P and 1377.

 

[holo07]

Here’s mine Crosman 150

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Ya, my 38"c" was great .. needs resealing now. Shot near every pellet well to excellent. Also kinda got tired of dealing with powerletts

 

[ctshooter]

Oh man - just one. That's going to be tough as I have a few worthy of that position. In no particular order I would take any one of the following to be my "just one":

• Crosman Mark I / Mark II
• Rohm Twinmaster Match CO2
• Smith & Wesson 78/79G

 

[jps2486]

Walther CP3

Well, gee thanks, I try to do that whenever I can.

So is the CP99 !

They are much the same gun under the skin...

I enjoy co2 pistols in the summer, and night time fun in the man cave 7 yard range.

If I had to choose one, would have to say a Crosman 22XX combination build.

FWIW, you can set up hpa conversion builds for co2 as well, bulk fill, no cartridges.

 

[Vetmx]

My Rohm Twinmaster. Shot count is unbelievable and so is the accuracy. If you don’t have at least a $800+ PCP, you won’t outshoot this gun. It’s now the only CO2 pellet pistol I have. Don’t shoot it often, maybe once a year but when I do, its all smiles.

Crosman 2240 for me. Added a little longer barrel and it's super accurate and a little quieter. I've got a 357 revolver by Black Ops Exterminator with 8 inch barrel. It has the individually loaded BB cartridges that load like the real gun with a swing out cylinder. The realistic level is pretty cool. My pride and joy is a 1966 model Crosman MKII with factory barrel. I always wanted to get a longer LD barrel setup on it, but it shoots great as is. Has the dual power level cocking and adjustable hammer spring. I'm just a airgunoholic at heart. I'll shoot them all be it Co2, PCP, springer whatever. If it pushes a pellet or bb down the barrel I'm all in

It would have to be a 2240. I'm so used to playing with these it is now second nature.

I use a drop of pellet gun oil on the tip of the cart and I leave them in the gun for weeks at a time.

i also got into the 2250/2250's for about 5yrs first one i purchased was a chrome 2240 or 50 , i can't remember for sure , but still have it somewhere, any way i received it & it was leaking , sent away for repair , got it back it leaked worse, sent it back , got it back was the same leak(instant cart dump) contacted the repairman & he told me to throw it in the river,that did not go well with me , so i started ordering Boss valves, from a guy in Ohio, & then longer barrels , also stainles roller triggers from i think Cothran , not sure. heck i had parts coming in every week & also more 2240/50"s that was my first rabbit hole .. still have a couple or so left .. then thew hole got much deeper with the purchase of a A/F Talon SS , but that is another story ..

This is my favorite one, a Mac1LD .22, you can hook up HPA but then you have a hose coming out of the bottom of the hand grip.
I really like C02 guns and have lots of fun with them.
