Any reviews on Mountainair Pistols.

Hi Guys,

I am thinking of getting a Mountainair pistol, I am not sure of the power of the some of his guns but I might get a 2240 type I think, any reviews on his products at all.
I would get a rifle but a pistol attracts less attetion if you know what I mean lol.

Hi Stuart,

I don't have one of Roy's pistols yet, but I do have the MA2250B carbine in the 0.177 caliber which is just a CO2 pistol with a stock and 24" barrel.  It is very accurate and shoots  725-740 fps with over 20 quality shots from a 12 gm CO2 cartridge.  I don't think you can go wrong with Mountainair products.

I too have purchased from Roy and his work is excellent. Nice man to deal with. You will find his link on our Mall.

of those MA 2240s on the crosman forum.


Not bad, but you can get more power out of a 2240 and better shot count....................

That is a great review I am thinking of getting one of Roys guns but, am worryed about cold weather performance.

Hi Stuart,

If it is above 70F you should be OK, however I am no expert on CO2 behavior.  Down here in Texas I don't have a problem finding warm weather to shoot in.  I shoot the pistols mostly inside anyways.  You could send Roy an e-mail and talk about it with him.  He lives and works at 7000 feet elevation.  So it should be fairly cool most of the time where he is.

I said earlier that I was getting well up into the 700's fps with the MA2250B carbine and the 24" barrel.  I would anticpate about 40-50 fps less with a fully modded pistol with the much shorter barrel.

Crooked Barn produces some nice pistols as well.  I bought a used  2240 with a 12" barrel from a fellow airgunner that he had CB mod for FT.  It shoots around 600 fps and gets about 40+ quality shots from a single 12 gm cartridge.

Roy can tune it for whatever performance you want.   For target shooting 600 fps is fine.  For rat-killing the hot mod works well.

If you really want a nice looking 2240 get some of Rick's grips.  Roy may be able to take care of the grips too.
