I hate to be a product basher but IMO you should be able to find a cheaper paper weight.  Trigger pull is horrendous.  I don’t have a scale but I would estimate trigger pull between 8 to 10 pounds and it's not adjustable.  Not a speed demon either.  I can spit pellets through a soda straw faster than my S2 sends them down range and be more accurate at that.  Okay it does have a bad seal so maybe improvements can be realized.  My suggestion is spend $10-$15 more and get a QS35 which a much better pistol.  In fact do a search on the forum and you will see opinions written on both pistols.  And yes, Dank has the grater experience when it comes to these Chicom pistols.  Good luck.

Fist I'd like to know how the hell Gene knows I take a nap every afternoon?  :0
Tech Force® S2-1X Air Pistol
The attraction to the the S2 is that it is CHEAP $25 & free stuff; shipped! Now I see you can get 2 for $35 without free stiff but still free shipping! A Better deal! imo.
It's accurate out to 10 yards and quiet enough for indoor shooting. Like most Chinese guns it can be necessary but improved a lot with a good cleaning,  seal sand & soak, and a  minor polish &  lube of the internals. It will be smoother & even quieter with more consistency in the FPS department. Raising the front sight by adding/gluing something  is necessary too since both of mine required the rear sight to be lowered all the way and it still shot high. Easy to work on, and a good learning tool.
 
The gun is good fun for plinking out to 15 yards with the fast, albeit less accurate lead free ammo offerings out there. Sometimes it's rewarding to just achieve the hitting of something.

Most of all it is metal & wood and modifying the grip to your taste is easily done.
1 Hr with a dremmel & some sandpaper and I had a satisfying gun to shoot.
If you screw up you're out only 25 bucks. Yet still have the free stuff. If you buy two you still have the other one.
You'll never get a competition  gun no matter what you do unless you buy 2 for $35 bucks then you can compete with anyone.
There is the facts
I see Compasseco had sweetened the deal with a 2nd gun for $10 bucks more. Two guns for $35 & free shipping is better than the free stuff IMO.

My favorite gun of all time is the last one I bought!!
