fun and pretty accurate. Cold, cold and colder got the best of me...so in the true spirit of cabin fever I set up an indoor range. Using NRA official 25 ft slow fire pistol targets I brought out a Co2 powered Crossman Mod 2240. The backstop is cardboard boxes filled with old magazines and such. After firing the little single shot 22cal pistol I realized it had potential to be actually quite accurate for a 45 dollar pistol. But then a quick trip to the hardware store was rnecessary for some lighter springs to replace the manufacture's intense trigger spring. Once done the trigger pull reduced to maybe 2-3 pounds which was orignally up around 7 or 8 lbs. [even tried it with no spring and produced a dangerous hair trigger..
] Using Meisterkuglen wadcutters this pistol will produce 10 shot groups covered by a quarter with the manufacturers rather crude sights at 25 feet from a sofa pillow rest. Actually, I think five shot groups might be down to a nickel covering them...alot of same holes and holes touching and a tendacy to vertically string [that couldn't be me
]. If I could just get a little creep out of the trigger and a little more weight towards the muzzle [the pistol is light wgt] I think this would be approaching a very good cabin fever remedy for most guys.
