.22 caliber/5.5mm sub-500 fps Airguns

One of the jewels of my Airgun collection is my Hawthorne Montgomery Ward M-150, a rare variant of the Crosman model 150 .22cal. pellet pistol that was made around 1955.
This was the second vintage airgun that i bought.
i bought it from Mr.Marvin, and he told me that in his  35+ years in the airgun biz, he has never come across a Crosman model 150 in as close to 'New' condition.

my G.K.Arms TD-22 Custom is a Crosman model 2240, which is essentially, the grandchild of the model 150.


the Crosman model P1322 "American Classic" is a multi-pump pneumatic that has a similar design to the model 2240, but it is a consistently more powerful.
i like the P1322 with the 1399 Stock attached, a nice compact carbine!


Another heirloom airgun in my collection is my Beeman P-1 Magnum, which was made in Germany by Weihrauch.

my .24cal/6mm Kel-Tec PMR-30 is close enough to .22 caliber to be included in this post.

Tolmar/Grand-Power X-caliber .24cal/6mm Co2 pistol.


 Crosman SA6/Single Action Six .22cal. Co2 pellet replica of the Colt 1873 Peacemaker.

 Diana 'Chaser' .22cal. Co2 Rifle/pistol kit.


 Crosman 'Phantom' .22cal. break-barrel /spring piston air rifle.

This is such a nice air pistol. the build quality is exquisite, and Colt 1911 walnut grips + Pierce rubber grip makes for  a stylish and ergonomic .22 caliber air pistol!

Crosman 1322 Medallist, M-150 and 2240



Pictured here is my first variant Crosman 1322 Medallist .22 cal multi-pump pneumatic air pistol that was built between 1977-80.

Below it is my Crosman model 150 variant, a pristine Hawthorne Montgomery Ward M-150 that looks, feels and shoots like it was made yesterday, and not 60 some odd years ago!

And lasly, one of my pair of Crosman model 2240's.

The 1322 Medalist was my first .22 caliber AirGun, and I have shot thousands of rounds with it.

I bought the Model 150 from Mr.Marvin
