Are Crosman, Gamo And Others Listening To Us??? Lets Hear Your Views..

Well, my replacement Short Stroke Nitro Piston arrived today and I just finished installing it in my NPSS.  I took a few shots with it and it feels more powerful than the original when it was still NIB.  According to the invoice, this NP is revision B, meaning that there may have been a revision A.  Let's hope this gas piston holds up.

I have never owned a Crosman that I was unhappy with and that goes back to the 50's. In all fairness I have never owned a Crosman springer. I have a Big Cat and after Charlie's trigger and learning how to shoot it I am happy with it but it will probably be my only Gamo. The interface between me and Gamo customer service may as well be nonexistant. I would like to see Crosman take on some of the higher end manufacturers like RWS and HW. I like good fit and finish and pretty wood.

I think airiscool (and others) have put it very well. Crosman clearly is listening, and responding.

I don't have anything to say about Gamo- I've tried other peoples', no thanks, no experience with them as a company except what I read here.

But without even getting into the wish list with Crosman I would just like to add a sincere "thank you" for what they have accomplished in the last year or two. Parts (price and availability), ammo, quality, innovation, willingness to back the product, they are totally on their game in my opinion.

I can think of a dozen things I would like, but no company can make everything everyone wants (gotta leave something for the modder community, after all). I would love to see an upscaled premium version of the 1377 with some of the well-known issues addressed, for example. But the scope of product introduction and the degree to which they have nailed what the US airgunning community wants is pretty breathtaking (for anyone who knows what goes into putting a complex product into production).

They have also taken risks that a lot of staid old US companies won't touch. Not all of them can be home runs. It is way cool thatthey have been willing to roll the dice on being a little different.

Yay, Crosman!

Crosman, yes. Diana, yes. Gamo, no.
