Crossman 1377 air pistol

[buffermop]

Anyone have any experience with this unit, good or bad? Thinking of buying one.  Any info appreciated. Thanks

They are fairly nice guns.  I was never able to get the type of accuracy that I wanted out of it, though.  Maybe it was me, but when I got it to hit, it had power.

I've got one that i've had for 15 years or so.  I like it enough, but I don't use it much.  I bought it to shoot small game on float trips and backpacking trips.  It's not particularly accurate nor is it particularly powerful.  It is kinda fun though, and not all that expensive.  I actually didn't know they still made them.

I have one that is about 20 years old.I have had to send it to crosman once in all that time to be rebuilt.I really like it a lot.Back when I got it, it was the most powerful pellet pistol you could get locally.I was considering try to hop it up.I have read where people can get them shooting about 650-700 fps with some aftermarket parts.I am also considering getting a crosman 2250xp.Not sure which one I want to do yet.

Crosman 1377 pistols are like a Chevy small block eignine - you can make them into what ever you want. I have won several 10 meter matches with one.
Here's a pic of one I converted to .20 caliber yesterday:

I am amazed of the stopping power of this air pistol. Took care of 2 tree rats from my birdfeeder today.

Where did you get the .20 breech and barrel?  Thanks, ET

[Charles/NM]

The barrel is a Walther Lothar that I think is sold on Auction Arms every so often. A friend bought several in .20 caliber and one in .177 caliber. They were originally made for a stillborn Benjamin rifle that never made it to market.  They have a serious choke in the muzzle end.
I made the receiver several years ago from a piece of scrap 4140 chrome moly bar stock. I used a .22 caliber bolt then so it was easy to breech the .20 caliber barrel to fit that bolt. When I turned the barrel diameter down to fit the Crosman sized receiver (breech) I left the last 2" original size. I've read that some times when you reduce the diameter of a barrel the steel relaxes a bit and increases bore size. This one will remain the original size.
So to answer your question; it's a totally custom job.
Mountain Air makes .20 caliber Crosman conversions. If you're interested you might contact them. They make some really nice custom Crosman airguns.

       I got one, several months ago, and compared to the spring gun I found this little pistol was far easier to shoot. Mine groups well the sight adjusts easy it is quite fun to shoot. Most of my shooting is at 15 yards. I don't think you can go wrong by getting one. Sorry for the late reply , I have been quite busy of late and have not had much time to be on line.       Good shooting to you  D.C.
