Sports reviews of Crossman 1377 American Classic Variable Pump Power Bolt Action Air Pistol

Customer Review: Accurate, Great value, very upgradeable
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Pros:

Inexpensive, accurate, powerful, plentiful upgrade options, pump action means you don't have to keep buying CO2 cartridges

Cons:

Stock sights aren't great, somewhat heavy, barrel wiggles slightly which is somewhat of an issue if you get the 459MT sight mounts for a red-dot or scope sight

Overall I am very happy with this gun especially given its price and upgrade flexibility. You can't beat the price/performance of this airgun which is probably why it's been around for so long. It is not perfect, but given the price and ability to upgrade you can't beat it.

Details on Pros:

This gun has a pretty long barrel for a pistol and as a result is quite accurate for ranges of 20-30 yds. It is also quite powerful but will not go through a 1/2" redwood fence. However, it is powerful enough that you do need to be careful with it. Since the gun is so inexpensive, you can easily get other add-ons that can make it a much more stable shooting platform without making the whole purchase too pricey: shoulder stock (~$20), red-dot sight (~$15), steel breech with integrated scope mount grooves (~$30). I would also recommend getting a steel target trap so you can shoot at targets and know that the pellets are being stopped.

Details on cons:

The stock sights kinda suck. I got a red-dot sight for it and once I got it dialed in, it is quite accurate to 25-30 yds which is all I need. I got the 459MT to mount the red-dot to the barrel, but the barrel twists slightly and can throw off the sighting but doesn't seem to affect the overall accuracy of the gun however. As a result, I may get the steel breech with sight grooves to have a better mount for the sight.

The gun itself is somewhat heavy, but part of that is because it has a long steel barrel which helps its accuracy so I guess it is a reasonable tradeoff. However, for shooters that are not very physically strong, it may make holding it steady without a rest of some sort somewhat difficult.

Update 12/7/07

I got the steel breech for the 1377 from Crosman and it made a *huge* difference. The biggest was a decent scope/sight mount. The stock plastic breech kinda bites. The steel breech's two main benefits are 1) a stable sight mount, 2) a set screw that keeps the barrel from moving around. The action also feels much better but I'm not sure that it has any direct effect on performance.

So, with the following three add-ons, you can have a very accurate mini-rifle:

1) Shoulder stock (~$20)
2) Steel breech (~$40) (strongly recommended even without shoulder stock)
3) 4x scope ($~10)

The 459MT is really not useful with the plastic breech because the barrel moves and constantly throws your sighting off.

FYI, the steel breech is a little tricky to install (not too bad) and there is a small steel sleeve that can pop out and roll away when you remove the stock breech, so be prepared.
