Crosman 2240 | CO₂ | 5.5mm | Pistol
The Crosman 2240 is a versatile CO₂-powered air pistol that has been a firm favourite in the world of recreational shooting for many years. This single-shot pistol operates on 12-gram CO₂ cartridges and fires in the popular 5.5mm caliber. With its combination of polymer and metal, this pistol offers a solid foundation for precision shooting at short range.
Our experience with the Crosman 2240
The first thing you notice about this air pistol is its solid feel. Weighing 820 grams, it sits comfortably in the hand without feeling heavy. The rifled barrel does its job excellently – we see consistent groups at 10 to 15 metres, especially with quality pellets. The bolt action feels smooth and the single action system provides predictable trigger pressure.
Technology, performance and variants
This CO₂-powered air pistol operates on 12-gram cartridges and delivers up to 8 joules of power. With a barrel length of 28cm and the 5.5mm caliber, this model achieves approximately 160 MPS (525 FPS). The CO₂ system ensures constant pressure for the first 25-30 shots, after which velocity gradually decreases. The rifled barrel makes this pistol suitable for accurate shooting up to approximately 20 metres – always use pellets, not BBs. Curious about all the technical details?
