Yeah, as opposed to irons. I shoot a Beeman P3 at home. I'm 65, and have to wear 1.00 diopter "reader" safety glasses to see a front sight clearly. I'd rather train at home with the air pistol using a red dot & target focus, like I use with my powder burners at the range.As opposed to irons?
That's more of a concern with springer air rifles, right?Different recoil impulse of an airgun might effect longevity on the red dot, just a thought.
I believe it. If red dots survive on the slides of 9mm, 10mm, & .357 polymer strikers I think they’d hold up on a Beeman P3.I believe vortex red dots are rated for air guns.

I used the same mount set on my 1322, and I think it would be fine if not for the barrel play in the plastic receiver. I intend to get the steel receiver eventually.I've done it with a simple Crosman, but the mount isn't really stable. I've done it more successfully with air rifles. But I find I really want magnification on an air rifle.

I am back to just using the irons after screwing around with it through a few hundred pellets.
That dovetail rail with adapter would be the way to go.Those metal breech should make a huge difference. I have though about one and a longer .22 barrel for my 1377, but keep buying other guns that don't need that kind of mods.
I will still probably do it some day though. The 13xx Crosmans are really fun guns with lots of potential if you want to drop 3 or 4 times the money you spent on the gun.
And doesn't someone make a steel breach with a dovetail rail?
