Just recently discovered air pistols. The Crosman 1377c to be specific.
Been doing a few mods.
So far; pistol, crosman breech, trigger fix, BKL 11mm-3/8 to weaver mount, Bushnell TRS 1x25 red dot, painted forearm and grips black.
Think i`ll cool it for awhile.
I have some life size starling targets and it is easy to get center hits at 10-12 yards with this little gun and red dot.
Off a rest that is. I cannot shoot very good off hand.

Good looking pistola you have there sir. Put a shoulder stock on it to help with free standing shooting. IT really helps. I like that compact little red dot sight! Nice.

Welcome boo, the quickest way to improve your free hand shooting is to enter the monthly comps here on this site. Loads of fun and you will shoot a lot, cant help but get better.

Thanks Falcon.
I`m surprised at how good these inexpensive pistols shoot.
When I first got it, I slapped a small cheap scope I had in my cabinet on it. I could shoot one holers at ten yards with the scope.
I prefer scopes but, I could not find one small enough to suit me so I went with a red dot.
I first put a Sightmark mini red dot on it. It was very small. About the size of the Burris Fast Fire.
The Sightmark would not hold zero so I had to send it back. I loved the size of it though.
Ended up with the Bushnell. It is ok but i`m not sure it is $85. ok.
It "Bushnell" has 11 brightness settings. The dot starts out very small on setting one and gets larger and brighter the higher you go up.
Not great for shooting small groups compared to a scope but, when you put that red dot on a dark colored bird, it makes it easy to make a hit.
Oh ya, I my try one of those shoulder stocks sometime.
I have a Barska red dot sight with 11 brightness settings also. It is a bit larger with 30mm lenses. It cost 25 dollars on sale and I love it! I get dime sized groups at 30 feet!. Anyway, nice gun.

Very nice. Did you use Krylon paint on your grips and forearm?
nice gun!
cant go wrong with a 1377 :-*
the only problem is they are gateway guns that lead to a long addiction
the only cure is more crosmans :P ;D ;D ;D

What would you estimate the dot size to be at 10 yards with the Barska?.
