- Crosman 1322 American Classic Review — The .22 Multi-Pump Legend The Crosman 1322 American Classic is the .22 calibre version of the iconic multi-pump pneumatic air pistol. While its .177 sibling the 1377 is better known, the 1322 holds a special place in the hearts of pest controllers who value stopping power over flat trajectory. The 1322 features a rifled steel barrel for accuracy, a single-action bolt design, and an easy-pump forearm that lets you control the power with each pump — the more pumps you add, the more energy you deliver. In UK legal form, the 1322 delivers enough punch for close-range ratting, rabbit control, and humane dispatch. For shooters who want a self-contained air pistol that works in any weather, the Crosman 1322 American Classic is a genuine workhorse. Crosman 1322 American Classic UK — Legal Power for Pest Control The Crosman 1322 American Classic UK market has grown steadily as shooters discover the advantages of .22 calibre in a multi-pump pistol. In standard UK-spec form, the 1322 delivers around 3.2 to 3.5 foot pounds on 10 pumps with 14.3 grain pellets . This is comfortably under the UK legal limit of 6 foot pounds for air pistols, meaning no firearms certificate is required. The .22 calibre pellet transfers more energy on impact than .177, making the 1322 better suited to dispatching rats and other small quarry at close ranges of 10 to 15 metres . For those searching for a Crosman 1322 american classic for sale, Fieldcraft Airguns has this air pistol in stock now. Crosman 1322 Maximum Power — Unlocking Full Potential The Crosman 1322 maximum power in factory form is deliberately restricted to comply with various international laws. A small bleed hole in the valve reduces pressure at higher pump counts, limiting velocity . However, the 1322 platform is famously upgradeable. With a flat top piston and valve kit, owners report achieving up to 10 foot pounds or more, though shooters must be careful not to exceed the UK legal limit of 6 foot pounds for air pistols without a firearms certificate . The simplest power increase comes from plugging the bleed hole with a small grub screw or epoxy, which can add 1 to 2 foot pounds without any other modifications . At Fieldcraft Airguns, we stock genuine upgrade parts and tuning kits for the 1322, along with advice on staying UK legal. Crosman 1322 Mods — Customising Your Air Pistol The 1322 is one of the most customisable air pistols in existence. The most popular Crosman 1322 mods include a steel breech, which replaces the plastic factory breech and provides a solid 11mm dovetail rail for mounting a red dot sight or scope . A flat top piston and valve kit increases power per pump, giving you more velocity with fewer pumps and a smoother pumping action . A Crosman American Classic stock — the shoulder stock accessory — converts the 1322 into a lightweight carbine, greatly improving stability for hunting or target work . Other popular mods include longer barrels for increased accuracy and power, trigger tuning kits to reduce the heavy factory pull, and silencer adapters for quieter shooting . At Fieldcraft Airguns, we stock a wide range of 1322 mods and accessories. Crosman 1322 vs 2240 — Which .22 Pistol Is Right for You? In the Crosman 1322 vs 2240 comparison, both are .22 calibre air pistols but with very different power sources. The 1322 is a multi-pump pneumatic — you pump it manually, so it works in any weather, never needs CO2 cartridges, and has variable power controlled by the number of pumps. The 2240 is a CO2 pistol — it offers consistent power with every shot but suffers in cold weather and requires ongoing cartridge purchases. For reliability in British winters and independence from consumables, the 1322 wins. For convenience and consistent power per shot without pumping, the 2240 is better. Many shooters end up owning both, but for pest control in all seasons, the 1322 is the more dependable choice.
