The Crosman 1322 is a potent, multi-pump pneumatic .22cal/5.5mm pellet pistol that can easily be modified, and can be used for pest control, some small game hunting and target shooting.
Thanks to D.T. Fletcher for this, and other superb companion books to many Crosman Air pistols and Air rifles.
My first 1322 was a 1322 "medalist" that was made in 1978, and still holds air and shoots straight & hard like the day it was built.
The first 1322 variant had a steel breach and sliding breach cover, metal rear sights and a metal cocking knob on the rear, beneath the sights.
i think that Crosman based the design of the Medalist 1322 on a Browning .22LR.
The 13XX pneumatic airgun appeared on this Guns magazine cover in April 1981.
I have a 1377C, but don't have a current photo, so here is a pair of nice pics showing the 1322C with the older style grips & pump handle.
This next photo is from replica-airguns review of the P1322 which was introduced around 2015.
The main design alterations are to the grips & pump handle.
This last photo is one of my 1322's set up as a carbine with the polymer stock, and with Crosman's picatinny barrel mount, Weaver rail adapter and a Walther Competition II green dot sight.
This is my favorite configuration of the P1322, and since I rarely shoot further than 35 feet, the electronic optical sight is the perfect, compact and durable choice for me.
Pneumatic AirGuns handle heavyweight ammo, like these JSB EXACT Jumbo Monster 25.39grain/1.645gram Lead SLUGS, which I have chronographed at 375 fps after ten pumps with one of my P1322's!!!
