Very nice! How does it shoot and is it a gas spring? I have been looking for
a springer pistol. |

Looks cool; also looks alot like the Ruger thing I had that broke. The part around the breech, that is, the block that has the Nitro Piston stamp, is that plastic or metal? The ruger was plastic, big piece jumped off. |

Thanks Rob, I haven't had time to really play with it yet. I only took a few shots the other day. It is a gas spring pistol. As I was shooting it the sights were creeping backwards so I put some Loctite on the red dot sight but haven't tested it yet. I'll report as soon as I get a chance. |

Hey toad, the gun is all metal except for the front sight, cocking aid, and stock. This thing is heavy! |

Sweet! I was super disappointed with the Ruger. Tell me how that compares to the Titan rifle if you can, I might have to pick one up! Love the scope by the way. |

Trigger is similar to other NP Crosman guns. It is hard to cock but not with the assist on. The cocking assist affects accuracy in a negative way so this gun has to be shot without it or forget about accuracy. This thing is HEAVY! The gun feels a bit unbalanced I think.
On a positive note, the gun looks to be very well made and it is showing that it will group well after the break in point and removal of the cocking assist. Maybe someone could make a new cocking assist/brake to fix the accuracy problem. This gun also cycles very smooth which is a nice thing about NP guns. I will try another brake idea and see how it goes. |

Now THAT is a fine looking breast. I haven't owned a pellet pistol for years, but just looking at this one makes me hungry for one. |

Looks like it would be great with a folding or detachable stock. Kind of a mini pack pellet rifle. |

I picked one of these up yesterday. I was out and spotted a sporting good store. I went in to get c02 cartridges. And it was on the wall. I love the Trail np XL rifle and this makes them a set.
I can't really fire it yet with my shoulder just having an operation. But it feels good. It is east to clock if you a sort of do it in a jerking motion.
The trigger feels a little ruff. But it is adjustable and feels better as I have been Shooting it. |
