Hi All,
As the title says.
Does anyone have any opinions regarding the C11 &C11 Tactical V the C31 ?....
I am, not really sure there is alot of difference between them all, and in a few days I will be ordering one of them.
My only thoughts are (and this may be inappropriate to say).
But the C11 Tactical with the fake thingy on the end of the barrel: could be pretty easily modified, and some additions made, to make it a not half bad real thingy.
If everyone gets my drift, says he endeavoring to not get the forum, or anyone else in strife, with US government rules about the said thingy.
In anticipation of other users experience with these weapons.
There pretty much the same gun so pick the one you like better for looks. The T11 has a longer barrel under the fake muzzle brake and a bit more power. I have both guns and both are fun plinkers.
Mike
I have always loved my C11s if it helps :-*
In addition on the C11 Tactical with laser fitted.
Once the weapon is zeroed, and any sight adjustments made, or aiming off to allow for where the shots land.
Once the laser is set up on the shot fall when aiming, does taking it off, and reattaching it, upset these setting ?.....
Or is it pretty good staying on where the shots will fall ?....
And irrespective of the weapon, can users let me know about the Crosman lasers remaining true, after removal and reattachment ?....
As I am partial to the C31, and may get a laser with it, which I doubt the weapon would fit in the supplied holster.
So any thoughts on this additional topic, would be appreciated

Just for the record i don't like calling recreation guns weapons, firearms is a better term IMO but you have every right to call them what ever you want. And yes the POI will change if you remove and replace the laser.BTW if you ever decide to get the C11 it uses the same mag as the C31.
Mike
Cool, Thanks.
I am very look at one, then the other, and change my mind.
But a decision will be made in the next few days.
Then just await delivery which I will allow a week plus for from a US company, given where I am located.
Hi Again,
Time differences just gone midday for me, and I guess those in the USA are asleep.
My mind is leaning now toward the C11, if for no other reason than it seems I can only find good reports.
In addition if I am correct, the C11 seems to have a bit more metal to it, than the C31.
By all means set me straight regarding this matter, seeing at least one member has mentioned they have both.
I would also appreciate some directions given, regarding the best laser sight.
Seeing many of the reviews of the T11 were very critical of the Crosman laser, it's fitting and performance of adjustment screws.
Likewise suitable holsters, both for the bar versions, and if a laser sight is fitted.
Which from what I've read, may be better off above than below the barrel; due to the tightness of fitting space under the barrel.
Looking forward to more positive feedback, and direction, for a newbie to Crosman products in particular; and air powered pistol firearms in general.
Discounting my sole experience being recently with a KJWorks Mk1, a Ruger Mk1 copy; which performs well with the pellets, but dis;likes steel BB's.
I get one fired, low of course due to weight, then the next stuck in the barrel.
Requiring a strip, and get it out, before resuming with the plastic stuff.
I don't think the C11 has any more metal then the C31 but the C31 has better sights IMO it's also a bit longer then the C11 hope this helps.
Mike
Mike, did you shoot this months BB competition event with one of these guns?
Carl
I have the C31 and have been very pleased with it so far. Once you put a laser on the gun, it will not fit in the holster that comes with it though. The C11 and C31 are very similar but I like the C31 looks better. And like Mike said the rear sights are better on the C31 vs the C11. If you get the C31, make sure to glue the front sight on, it will come off and get lost.

Carl i used the Winchester 1911.
Mike
Thanks all for all the information.
Now I am leaning toward the C31.
On that point. Is there a holster suitable for it with a decent laser fitted ?....
Or is it a case of once sighted in, and laser adjusted; treat it real carefully in a padded case arrangement if moving it, or the laser goes off the settings ?...
Glad I found this thread, as I was just wondering the same thing...C11 or C31.
Can't say about the C31, but I have the C11. I've had it for a few years, but it hasn't been shot a lot. The sights are fine to me on my C11. I don't like fiber optic sights though. My gun has been 100% reliable so far. I understand that some have problems with the magazine release. I wonder if they are slamming the mag into the gun? I push the magazine release as I install the mag to minimize shock and wear and tear. So far so good. I like the feel of the C11 a lot. It fits my hand well. Mine shot a bit low and right. I recently bought and installed and sighted a laser in on the C11. They are a little bit of work to sight in. These CO2 air pistols (not the 2400 and some other very accurate ones) are not known for their sparking accuracy. I usually put my targets at 10-15 feet. I get a bit better groups with the laser. A good group (from a bench) for me and my C11 is about 3/4 inch. But many of my 3 shot groups I get 2 in almost one hole, and the 3rd away a little. This gun is never going to be as accurate as my Crosman 357. I can get (if I do my part) 5 into 1/4" at 15-20 feet with it.The 357 loves RWS Hobby pellets, which are a pain for me to get, as shipping here is spendy.
i had a C31 the problem i had with it was trying to find extra clips that worked in it i got 3 sets of clips and none worked fire one shot and the gun jammed crosman said they should work be nope none did. Cost me $16 in shipping fees to keep sending them back gave up and gave the gun to a friend :(
Jim
ps guess i`m not much of a friend lol

I know if you load just one to many BBs in these mags you will get a jam.
Mike
It didn`t matter how many bb`s were in the mag they either jamed or some even dropped out of the gun pull the trigger and the mag was on the floor they worked just fine in my daughter`s C11 go figure
Jim
To the OP... just buy one :D ... they are BB pistols, only capable of staying inside a 2" dia circle at 30 feet, under the BEST of conditions. :-*

x1 I agree but still fun to shoot.
Hi All,
I have decided to get a refurbished by the factory C31.
Thanks for all the input though.
I have also started another topic for holsters for this.
As it does not come with one, being refurbished.
In addition I will be fitting a laser sight, so a holster fitting this accessory is required...okay.
So any assistance there would be a help also.
In addition I am also seeking 2 extra magazines for this firearm, if anyone has extras they use rarely.
I believe C11 magazines are compatible, or the same, but I am not 100% certain.
So anyone knowing for sure, by all means set me straight.
Does anyone have an opinion on the C41?

I have the C41 it has good power but accuracy is not good at all,my first one was sent back to PA and the 2nd one was not much better still a fun gun to plink with the so call blow back don't work and has no function. The one thing i do like is there is much metal and it is made very well.
Mike
Thanks for the fb. I'm not to worried about blowback as that seems like a a waste of CO2.
Do bb barrels have to break in like pellet barrels do?
