What To Know About The Crosman 1377

By Jack Neil


Shooting an air pistol is loads of fun. Whether shooting targets, plinking cans or ridding the yard of pests, a Crosman 1377 is great choice. With a proven design and styling known as American classic, this pistol will provide years of solid service and enjoyment.

Powering projectiles with pneumatic air power has been used for centuries. Modern air guns shoot a BB or pellet and have a rifled barrel for increased accuracy. Air pistols can generate tremendous muzzle velocity with effective ranges up to 50 yards. This makes them ideal for backyard use or where space is limited.

This model is a variable pump, which means pressure can be adjusted to suit the target or distance. This makes it fairly unique in this category of gun. The steel riffled barrel shoots the standard . 177" pellet. It is a single shot action with a wood-grained grip and forearm. The standard model comes with open sights.

Accessories are popular for this gun. A shoulder stock is available that converts the model into a carbine. There are also many modifications that can highly customize this side arm. Customized grips and front stock can be added to suit one's shooting style. Trigger assemblies are also available to lighten pull force. Piston modifications can add to muzzle velocity.

The long barrel of this model lends itself to a scope or red dot sight. To add optics the company offers a dovetail rail that attaches to the barrel which is necessary to mount a set of scope rings. The red dot sight is great for quick target acquisition, while scope lends itself to traditional target shooting.

This pistol can reach a muzzle velocity of 600 ft/s giving it an effective knock down range of 25 yards. This makes the model comparable to small air rifles in terms of power. The 1377 is a variable pump, meaning the pneumatic air power can be easily adjusted to the shooting environment.

The 1377 pistol gets outstanding reviews from users. Out of the box this model is praised for its classic design, light weight and accuracy. Many report this model outshoots much higher priced models. Owners also like that the gun is highly modifiable, giving each the opportunity to customize to one's personal preferences.

There are not many negatives to report. Trigger weight is mentioned, as it appears to be heavier on the 1377 than the competition. Also some users feel pellet residue builds up quickly, so cleaning has to be done at more frequent intervals. But all in all, there are few if any major complaints.

Buying the Crosman is easy. Just about any air gun retailer, either online or at a physical location will carry this model and most of the more popular accessories like ammo, shooting glasses, cleaning kit and the like. For more advanced modification options, the internet or specific air gun retailer is the best bet.

Any plinker or target shooter will get plenty of enjoyment out of a Crosman 1377 air pistol. The design is proven and the variable pump makes it ideal for all shooting situations. And with a price under $60, there aren't many competitors that can match the value for money. This is a pistol that will provide many, many years of shooting fun.
