newbie questions

Buy the combo directly from Crossman.  I had back order after back order from a supplier.  I canceled my order and bought direct from crosman.  It arrived in 3-4 days and it was perfect.  It's a great gun that is a real shooter.  I find the Crossman pointed seem to shoot pretty good.  I still haven't tried the Premiers but I'm happy with the pointed.  I only get about 20 shoots before I pump it up again.  I agree with others that the sweet spot is between 1200-1700 psi.  Enjoy.
