Crosman 1377 Air Pistol Arrived Today

[bltefft]

This is my first and only air pistol. I shot several .177 pellets through it and it was fun, It was hitting dead on but low (not shooting very far away). It's not loud at all, very back-yard friendly.

My 8-inch splatter target is backup up by a 12-inch steel plate and every round hit the splatter target somewhere, I only pumped it 5 times most often, the thing ain't that easy to pump. I'm pretty sure my 7-year old grandson won't be able to pump it. So, I'll be doing it for him.

How do you guys deal with a black front sight that looses itself in the black of the target? I put a bit of white touch-up paint on front sight, but that didn't help a whole lot. I could shot with the 8-inch splatter target's bottom edge resting on the top of the front sight (like the army taught me), but that leaves a lot of target wasted.

My new 1322 (kit) arrives tomorrow (4/16/21)

Put a bit of flouresent paint on the front sight. The old 6 o'clock hold still works. Just make the necessary elevation adjustment up to compensate for the lower hold

 At least yours is not like mine. Mine shoots 6 inches high and I have the rear sight as low as it will go. So I ended up putting a red dot on it. The only problem with it is the breach being plastic, it’s not That rigid. I really don’t want to invest in a steel breach.

Raise your front sight if you can ,or replace it with a higher one. --Higher the front sight, the lower it will shoot and vice versa. Good luck

Good solid long history platform. Lots of options for modifications. Enjoy it.

The 1377 is a great gun to start with. So many aftermarket parts are available. It's hard to stop modding once you get started. So have fun.

Plenty more sites like this around.

Thanks, I'll check out the fluorescent paint. A moment ago I ordered so blue spatter targets from Amazon. I should be able to see the sights against blue.

The white paint on the back of the front sight blade did pretty good for me. I placed an 8-inch splatter target about 10 yards away and was pleased with this pistol's accuracy. I used open sights, braced my arms, did a 6 o'clock sight picture with the red center circle and hit the red center in the red. Then, I reached out to 35 yards and only hit the 16-inch gong, nowhere near the red bullseye. Need to shoot it more. It is fun, though. I'm only pumping it 5-6 times. I guess I'll break out the chrony tomorrow.

Wow! Mine is just box-stock, but not yours! Good looking pistol you got there!

Good looking pistol I had. It was stolen with a few of my favorite others and some firearms, near 4K worth as well way back in 2010. The year of hell. My brother got out of prison and came to live with me, my favorite airguns and firearms were stolen, I was assaulted by a stranger and nearly killed and my mom died all in a four month time frame. Rough year it was.

Druggy thieves are everywhere but they don't even put them in jail around here these days. Drug use is legal even the hard core stuff.

I really loved that gun and it shot as well as it looked.

Life is much easier now that I had to retire though. Still recovering some ten years later. 

I have most of the parts to make another gun like the 1377 but can't replace the grips cuz he doesn't make them anymore so I am looking for something else that will be just as good. Another on my things to do list. But on the back burner for now.
