Crosman 2240 | CO₂ | 5.5mm | Pistol
The Crosman 2240 is a versatile CO₂ air pistol that has been a mainstay 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 provides a solid foundation for precision shooting, delivering approximately 30 to 40 good shots per CO₂ cartridge.
Our experience with the Crosman 2240
The first thing you notice is the robust feel of this air pistol. Weighing 820 grams, it sits comfortably in the hand without feeling heavy. The rifled barrel performs excellently – we see consistent groupings at 10 to 15 metres, especially when using quality pellets. The bolt-action operates smoothly and the single action system provides a predictable trigger pull.
Technology and performance
This pistol delivers up to 8 joules of power with a barrel length of 28cm. The CO₂ system ensures consistent pressure for the first 25-30 shots. After that, the velocity gradually decreases. The combination of the rifled barrel and the 5.5mm caliber makes this pistol suitable for accurate shooting up to around 20 metres. Always use pellets – the rifled barrel is not suitable for BBs.

Use and operation
Loading is straightforward: pull the bolt back, place a pellet directly into the barrel, and close the bolt. The safety catch is easily accessible behind the trigger. The pistol features an ambidextrous grip that is comfortable for both left- and right-handed shooters. Standard you get iron sights, but with an optional adapter you can also mount optics.
Who is this air pistol intended for?
The Crosman 2240 is an excellent choice for beginners looking for a reliable CO₂ pistol, but experienced shooters also appreciate its consistency and upgrade potential. Perfect for plinking or precision shooting at short range. The pistol is popular among enthusiasts due to the many modification options.
