Diana Bandit

Thought this would be a decent cheap plinker. I was wrong. It is an absolute waste of money.

Pros
Nothing

Cons
Very uncomfortable grip. Velocity is all over the place. Poor accuracy.

Pros
Accurate, smooth, light,and quiet, I'm getting dime size groups at 15 yards stock, I have pretty big hands so it's a perfect fit.

Pros
I'm very pleased with the product, though had a few reservations before ordering. The grip appeared to be large and a few reviews confirmed that it wasn't suitable for small hands, which I have. I have had too problem with the grip, or position of my trigger finger. The weight & balance makes it very easy to handle. The attention to detail, fit & finish of this pistol is above average. Sighting the gun was easy and after 6 rounds had it sighted in. Assembly & instructions are simple, straightforward and adequate. The suppressor is perfect for our small backyard and doesn't affect the pets. This is an excellent gun for starting out in this sport.

Cons
None at this time, having owned the gun for less than a month.

Pros
Well made. Accurate. easy loading.

Cons
I had to do major surgery to the grip. Made for very large hands

As a lifelong firearms competitive shooter, instructor, and innovator, it takes a lot to impress me with a pellet gun. One hole groups out of a two hundred dollar piece? Unbelievable, but true. It seems to like longer skirt pellets with a bit of weight. Diablo exact 18.13gr. Print well.

Pros
A lot of airgun for the money. Seems well thought out and made. Might be the perfect intro to pcp airguns. Accuracy is teasingly good. Using a laser sight to assist my lousy eyes, one hole groups at ten yards are possible.

Cons
Speaking of the laser, a barrel band with a bottom rail would be a really good improvement. Added one from buckrail. Perfect for my old eyes. Not a big fan of the front sight integral to the moderator, or lock tight on the plastic threads. A spin off moderator and removable front sight option would be great.

Pros
great Diana. great in the hand. 99% positive +

Cons
1% negative is a small tank

Pros
Simple good fun. It works. No problems

Worth the money, I love mine.

Pros
Excellent accuracy with HN9.57 gr grip is big but can easily be sanded down to fit your hand ,30 pumps with hand pump to fill.BEWARE the fill probe holes are not in line , if you spin cover over fill hole clockwise and gun fills ok you must turn counterclockwise to cover hole,if you spin it clockwise , and then spin clockwise again next fill the probe doesnt go in all the way and pops out while filling, you can see probe sticking out between barrel and cylinder if in correct if not just spin 180 degrees

Cons
Lighter hammer spring ,larger air tube for better shot count

If you miss the AGD return window (I did by less than a week due to my clumsy troubleshooting efforts) AGD will wash its hands of you. "We only sell", you will be told. I was given the Diana importer address. I contacted and filled their warranty form, which was acknowledged. Then, nothing. I sent a follow up email. Nothing. Months have gone by now and no one will make a faulty Diana Bandit right. There are no videos or instructions about o ring replacement on the probe (if that's the problem). The included o rings appear abnormally stiff and brittle as if too old. The o rings on the probe are impossible to remove w/o cutting. No specifications for the o rings are given. We don't know hardness, diameter, thickness of the rings. Unless you are one who owns pellet pistols as a hobby and enjoys messing with them as entertainment (you know who you are) don't bother with Diana. Once more, it's a tool, it should work out of the box with minor tuning. My Marauder was repaired by Crosman, 2wks

Pros
Fast handling, accurate with scope. Intended for pest control. I regard it as a tool, not entertainment. Relatively quiet. It will (.22) drop a skunk in its tracks.

Cons
Fill probe appears faulty, but can't know for sure. It will not pressurize past 1000 by releasing air as it is pumped in. Neither AGD or Diana will take responsibility within the warranty period.

I have had several minor issues with items and Airgun Depot has always been very professional, courteous, and quick to correct any problems. Thank you Airgun Depot for your support and professionalism.

Pros
This is the first review I have ever written even though I have purchased quite a few items from Airgun Depot. I love this Diana Bandit, it is extremely user friendly, well built, and it is very consistent with sighting/shooting.

Cons
None at this time, Airgun Depot has always been very direct with their reviews or information they provide for their products.
