Had a good time shooting with my son today @ a beer can. Very productive day. Thanks OP.

Also just got a Flir thermal camera. The rats that like to hide in my ivy better watch out.

got my second one, is missing a bolt and nut that hold the rear site in place, it just flops around when I have to reload.

I was hoping to hear some more details from folks who are actually using these. How are they to ****? Easy, awkward, hard? How are they to load? Can a small woman or a pre-teen **** and load them easily?
I have one on order, but now want to hear details about other folks experience with them until I get to play with one myself!

So much for testing it before it went out the door.

Some bad reviews since they went on sale, prior to that, they were mostly very good. I was hoping for warmer weather but I guess I'll need to break mine out and try them.

I like mine for the price I paid, but they are anything but easy to load. It takes a hard grip and a tremendous amount of pressure to **** it. If you have fat fingers, good luck even getting the pellet into the chamber. There’s about 1/2” of space between the end of the chamber and the body to load it.

Not complaining but since you asked, this is what you get for $7.50. Maybe that’s why the reviews are turning bad. People might expect more than is being offered.

I think it’s a fine air pistol.

Mine arrived the same way. The parts (screw, captive nut, and spring) were all loose in the package or in the gun (and fell out when I opened the breech.

spring? mine came with the captive nut and screw loose, but not a spring to be found.

Very small spring, I didn't measure but IIRC it was +/- 5/16" tall, less than 1/8" diameter. It sits in the small cylindrical holes next to where the nut and bolt go through the rear sight. The spring pushes the sight away from the body and "moves" the sight up and down depending on which way you turn the screw/bolt.
(EDIT: gives it tension/resistance?)

I could probably look up better terms to explain this but it's late:)

I feel an obligation to report my unit arrived in good stead this afternoon. Even that scares the willies out of my dog. In spite of that situation I think this will help me convince my resident shop squirrels living out in the oaks is a better set up. I don't want to kill anything I don't plan on eating but a few red welts in the hind end would be appropriate I think.

Better get the salt and pepper ready. This ain't a welt gun by no means. I was really surprised how powerful it was

Mine came with the nut and screw apart. I did not think to look for a spring. The nut was in the gun. Amazon cancelled my second order.

Received mine today. Surprising because I ordered late and initial arrival date given was January 2nd.
Don’t have pellets to try it out, was going to pick some up next week before it was supposed to arrive.
Mine had the loose screw, nut, and spring as well. Easy enough to take care of, since I knew to look for it.

Thanks to the OP, and to all who mentioned the loose screw, nut, and spring.

The two I ordered came in recently, one package looked like it had been opened and returned or (less likley) just got tore up in shipping. But both worked and for the price I'm not gonna make a fuss. They shoot nice, no lose or missing parts here.

Received mine with the vertical sight adjustment screw, nut, and spring loose in the packaging. Lost the spring when I tried to put it all together. It went flying and haven't been able to find it. *****. The whole thing is worthless without sights.

I may try to contact the manufacturer and see if I can get a replacement.

Good thing it was only eight bucks.

Recieved mine today, just in time to pole an eye out. Went and used a $10 Dicks cash to grab a variety pack of ammo for $.50

Does anyone have a preference for ammo? Mainly looking to take out squirrel, **** if it will handle it.

Hi everybody.

I missed out on this deal and have been checking the price daily for weeks. It fluctuates between $29 and $33. :sad:

If anybody wants to get rid of theirs or bought an extra, PLEASE ping me. I would love to buy it. Thank you.
