Everyone needs a pumper.

I remember when i was a kid with my 342. My friend had a sheridan with a peep sight. I never saw one before and i couldnt see how anyone could hit anything with it. Now i love them. Actually now that im older ghost rings are more appropriate.

Really love my pumpers! My Zoraki pump pistol is my favorite pistol above the pcp pistols I own. 11 fpe, accurate, all in a compact package. My second pumper is a 1377 converted into a rifle. Fun little rifle.

@crazyhorse I just noticed your hand guard on the barrel. I have one of those on my sons 392. You wont believe where I found it. I was taking some old metal scrap to the town dump at the metal drop off section. And I spotted the brass receiver and pump handle of an old benjamin. Not sure which model, it was flattened from a truck driving over it, but it had that plastic guard on the barrel, so I took it off and put it on my sons 392 where it sits to this day about 15 years later. I have looked for those everywhere trying to find another for my 392 but no luck. Where did you get yours? or did you make it somehow?

I recently bought one for my daughter. I think I shoot it more than her! Lol. Yes everyone needs a pumper.

This is my last pump up. Still love the Sheridan. Don’t care for the .20 caliber. If I come across a Benjamin Sheridan (when they merged) like this pistol in .a 22 caliber rifle, nickel plate, done! My friend has one. Matches this pistol. They didn’t make these models very long. They were very good quality.

Everyone DOES need a pumper...

I love these things... just haven't used them so much for a while.

Also have several Sheridans of different vintages but don't shoot them much, either. Red Wolf and Delta Wolf have been the focus for a bit. I love the precharge without a bottle aspect, though.

Some very nice pumper for sure. Maybe some day I'll aquire more. For now, I only have one.

Yeah, I have all platforms of AG,s, but I do love my pumpers. No recoil like my PCP's, but with a built in air supply.

Here are my three. All customized, as are most of my guns. Sheridan model A, Crosman 1400, and Sharp Innova Deluxe.

Fun stuff!!

Out of the 9 pumpers that I own the new Crosman 362 is my new all time favorite. If you’re looking for a new pumper I recommend it.

The Barra Cowboy 1866 pneumatic also comes in a youth model. Amazon $46.

I have to agree with the pumper. Keep one in my truck. As a kid I always admired my buddies Sheridan (couldn't afford one). As a father I bought the my boys a Benjamin 392. They moved on to other things and I claimed it as my own. Simple, fun & effective. Plus it keeps your trigger finger strong. I can still carry a 40 lb bag of ice with one finger!

I agree a few Crosman and of course a Sheridan
