Just took the 1377 out of the box and set a pop can up in the back yard at 15 yards. Two pumps on Crosman Premier pointed 7.4 gr pellets and the can is twitching. On four pumps I had to go retrieve the can out of the brush. Still have the stupid grim on my face. This is going to be a great hobby!

The 1377 and 1322 have been called "the most expensive cheap gun out there," or something like that, because people start cheap, and find out about the unlimited ways to modify and customize them, and increase power, and so on.

Ut-oh!

I'm having so much fun plinking with this, I just bought one as a birthday gift for my hobby machinist buddy. I may have to have one to plink with and one to never finish modifying!  :-*

HA! I may have finally found a reason to retire.  :P Falling down the forum rabbit hole, I see some incredible air gun performance. Even big game hunting.

So much to learn, so much fun to have. :)

Welcome to a great forum! Glad that you've found joy with your 1377 "pumper". Might I suggest that you resist the urge to enter the steep climb to the PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) mode (as alluded to in one of the replies) as it will quickly become quite costly  :D ! Not saying don't ever do so but just resist for now as there is so much fun and enjoyment to be had with the "entry level" 1377 & 1322 air guns.
Sadly, the forum's activity in the "entry level" sections seems to have slowed over the past few years. Not exactly sure why BUT having "new blood" injected may reverse the trend  :). Starting new threads and/or replying to older ones may encourage some of the forum's gurus to drop out of the rarified air of PCPs to share their extensive knowledge (or opinions ;) ) RE: pumpers. BTW, having a hobby machinist buddy will be a definite asset when moving beyond basic modding! Again, welcome to the world of airguns :).

Thanks for the advise. :-* I'm trying to stay in the moment and enjoy what the 1377 is out of the box while reading the archives and learning about how an air gun works, and what this little toy can be. It looks like prime time for these guns was a decade ago or more. I've gathered a great deal of information on trigger tuning cheap tricks and look forward to having a free afternoon to apply those mods. My buddy is more in the fast lane, already planning what to create first. Okay, and second...

Glad you guys are out there!
