Fool thee twice, shame on me...revisedJune 24, 2008 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Well,
I read all the positive reviews for this gun and thought that something was wrong with me. You see, as a boy, I had owned one of these and it was a piece of junk as far as I was concerned. But that was then.
As I recall, the first shot was okay, but by the third shot (not the 250th as the manual claims) the gun was at half power, if that (there is no advice in the "manual" for this, only legal disclaimers).
UPDATED:
I'm changing this to four stars because I discovered that a drop of oil, on the bolt/breach seal, after ever four shots or so, will keep the gun at full power.
It would have been nice to have that stated somewhere in the users manual. Newbies, like me, be warned: a tight seal is important and without lubricant you won't get one.

Decent Value and Very UpgradeableJune 11, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This gun is a relatively good value for the money. It was the most powerful airpistol around when I was a teenager and still is 25 years later. It is a fun gun and a great hunting pistol.
If you want the most out of the gun, you will need to upgrade it. As a man with relatively large hands the grips are a terrible fit in my hands. The grip is too small and the pumper is very uncomfortable. I purchased a set of RB grips with a super pumper. It feels great now and looks even better. I also ordered the LPA sight from Crosman Custom shop. I find the included sight to be marginal at best. The trigger pull is really heavy too, which effects accuracy. Therefore I will get the trigger done and new a new flat top valve/piston for more power. Check out Mountain Air Airguns, they sell a super upgraded version of the 1377 for $215.

This thing is very powerful and very accurate. From 15 feet I hit a 1/2 inch center 5 times in a row at 4 pumps. I started with 1 pump, then 2, 3, and finally 4 hit dead center. The first 3 were low, and 5 pumps took it high.
Long range was just as good. Took 2 shots to get sited in, and then hit 3 bottles at 30 yards in a row.
Awesome gun....

This is one heck of a nice air gun.Really like the steel barrel,rather than a competitors brass bbl.Also the choice of open sight or peep sight.Up to ten pumps,what more could a cowpoke ask for???? Bob
Well Worth 55 Bucks!!!December 7, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have bought this gun about three months ago. It is a magnificent gun every thing is great. I could not find a stronger and more accurate gun on the market. Trust me ive LOOKED!!! The only problem i have had is it takes a while to get the site good but when you do so its perfect on target. I recomend the Gamo Raptor Pellets they add much penetration. My dad recomended this pistol because he has had the origional one for some time. He claimed that it was the best gun on the block in his time. I enjoy the pistol because it is not as big and bulky as a rifle and it gives just as much FPS as a rifle and it is a ton cheaper. I hoped this helped.
