My New Pistola
« on: March 18, 2010, 11:20:43 AM »
Today I felt like a kid at Christmas when the brown truck showed up.I'm really liking my 2300KT thus far.
"Crosman came through with my order in only 13 days,which was great considering I was told 3-6 weeks"This is my first Crosman pistol I've owned since 1985..."I had a 1377,and 357",and briefly owned a "Beeman-Webley Tempest"in 1991......wish I still had that one.....

I didn't think I would get back into air pistols again,but after seeing what some of the guys are doing as far as mods are concerned,and the simplicity of the 22xx platform,my mind was flooded with ideas,so the Crosman custom shop was calling.Since my 39th birthday is next Thursday,this is also a fantastic excuse....

Some notable improvements over the stock version,is a nice black oxide steel trigger that is much better than the stock brass one..the wider face is nice.It's adjustable...another plus.The fit,and finish of the walnut sportsman grips is perfection.....

It's nice to have a supportive wife,to help me embrace my impending midlife crises,provided I don't play with my toys in the house.Oh C'mon!...it's not like I've ever considered, or used the hallway leading from the living room to the bathroom,as an indoor range or anything........and any rodents on the property are always completely safe..."the cat got the other one's I swear"...  :o
