I am new to air pistols and a friend of mine let me use his Crossman 1132 22cal pistol .We used 22 cal hollow points and I was very impressed with how accurate it is.
Pop cans at 30 yards don't stand a chance and go right through . The breech is plastic but works and loads fine.
This one has the sights pretty much adjusted all the way to the top and to the left but could still use a tiny bit more adjusting (for me).
I checked on Amazon and they are only 60 -70 bucks !!
I had a blast shooting off my deck with my son at some targets.We stayed at using 10 pumps per shot.
Seeing as no CO 2 cartridges are required Great value and accuracy for that kind of money .





 
you can get a steel breech for $41.99, which has a rail to mount optics.
also, 12", 14", 18", 24" barrels are available
shoulder stocks
custom grips

the options are endless.

i love mine.... currently have a shoulder stock, 12" barrel, steel breech, and scope on it.
 
I have an older one which is pretty much the same. I used it for hunting grouse while moose hunting and really like it BUT you learn quickly to make good shots. Pumping is no fun.

you can get a flat top piston kit for $35 that pumps more air per pump

So how many pumps for full power with a kit?

"full power" is a very subjective term. some would describe it as the maximum amount of air that would all be dumped in one shot, some would describe it as the maximum amount of air that would still get meaningful benefit from marginal pumps... and of course either of these can change by modifying the valve spring, or hammer spring, barrel length, or drilling out the valve port, or any number of other tricks.

but if "full power" to you means the amount of air equal to 10 pumps with a "stock" 1322, im going to GUESS 7, but i don't really know. it also puts more stress on the pump arm linkage, shortening the life of those parts, so i havent bothered to put a flat top piston kit on any of my crosman pumpers.
 
i rest my fingers on the top of the barrel as i close the pump, and i never pinch them.

the 2289 handle does make it slightly easier to pump, but also affects the weight balance, and looks ugly.

I have the 1377 bone stock.Been wanting to tinker with it a bit.What mode would you guys recommend and were is a good parts source? Is it much yrouble to switch to a .22 barrel? Thanks

switching to a .22 barrel is super easy. any parts swap with these guns is super easy.

you will also need to swap the breech to a .22 breech, and the stock (detuned) valve of the 1377 will be fairly weak for a .22, so you should also swap your valve for a non-detuned one (or plug the hole the the back of your valve)
 
honestly though, rather than swapping your barrel, swapping your breech, and either swapping or modifying your valve,
just go pick up a 1322 or 2289 and have 2 guns

Nomad they are very very easy to strip, reassemble, and swap parts out with. For parts you can contact the Gravel Agency (have all your ducks in a row before you call them). D&L airguns also can sell you Crosman parts (I think anyways).

The only issue is in modifying a pistol to RPAL specs. If you want to do this, it might be more useful to get a 2289 and modify it to PAL specs.

In our province of Nova Scotia, where our government employees are ever on the watch for our 'public safety', you can forget about hunting with an air rifle or non RPAL pistol anyways. :jerkit:

The only difference between a 1377 and 1322 breech is the bolt. I have used the same breech and have models in .177, .22 & .25 calibre. The breech fits several models of the Crosman family. The flat top piston is a very nice addition. No more 10 pumps for full power.
 
I have a pal rated 2289. Makes about 670 fps on 20 pumps. If you're going to have a pal air rifle, my opinion would be to buy a nitro piston model. 20 pumps gets old fast.

7 instead of 10 and it shortens the life of the gun?
Doesn't seem worth it to me. The Webley Alectro is a lot more money but pumps to max in 3 pumps and 1 or 2 is good for indoor target practice.
 
Love the alecto. No rpal required. Hits harder than a stock 1322/1377 and does it with 3 pumps. It's also more accurate than I am.
