.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.

 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!

Beeman P1 Magnum .22cal. & Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43cal.

My Beeman P1 Magnum .22cal. spring piston air pistol & Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43cal. Co2 pistol, plus the extra PPQ T4E "Emergency" magazine represent $1100 of the hard earned dollars that I have invested in my AirGun hobby/collection.

The Beeman P1 is by far the higher quality air pistol, and will probably still be shooting great long after I am dead.
Beeman first introduced the model P1 Magnum in the 1980's, and the following are pages from the 1984 and 1986 Beeman Precision AirGuns catalogs...





I have posted about the awesome Walther PPQ M2 T4E Co2 pistol and my favorite ammunition to feed it, RIOT-BALL!!!

Beeman P1/Weihrauch HW45

Trevor Adams review of the Beeman P1/Weihrauch HW45:





I bought myself a Beeman P1 Magnum .22cal/5.5mm air pistol last December from Pyramydair, and I have added rubber grips to the M1911 walnut grip panels:

Beeman P-1








My newest AirGuns: Beeman P1 & HellBoy M4





I have had my .22cal/5.5mm Beeman P-1 since December 2017, and just recently bought some Pierce rubber finger groove grips for it.
I've only shot it a few times and plan to shoot it much more this summer.
I did test it with an AceTech ac6000 chonograph and it shot an 11.9 grain H&N Hobby lead pellet as high as 607 fps!
The factory lubrication residue is still causing some dieseling which is why the velocity is so high.

Air Venturi's HellBoy M4 is a brand new full metal .177cal/4.5mm Co2 BB gun from Pyramydair in Ohio.
I ordered one last week and it is at UPS waiting to be picked up on Monday.


I picked up my new HellBoy M4 Co2 .177 cal semi-automatic BB air rifle last Monday and brought it home to unbox.
The "ten for $10" chronograph test recorded shoots a high as 503 fps with an average around 490 fps.
This is a very realistic looking airgun!
I can't wait to shoot it, but I will have to wait untill I can leave my City and shoot in peace.
