There are more reviews on Al’s Airguns which is my official Airgun channel. On this channel my wife and I post our hobbies and parts of our daily routine. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a very informative series of videos on the 2300T. I own the 2400, and would like to ask you, how would you compare the 2300T with the 2400 accuracy wise? This is of great importance to me. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to purchase a high end pistol. One thing that bothers me about the 2400 is the noise. Very loud. So to reduce the noise, I purchased a suppressor from Buck Rail. Still a bit loud, but not as much. I’m concerned about alarming the neighbors. May I assume that the 2300T is about as loud as the 2400? My suppressor from the 2400 will, according to Chris at Buck Rail, fit the 2300T. Thanks again for those great videos.
The 2300T ships with a device in the valve which reduces valve capacity. This reduces pellet velocity and as a result the report. Less gas means less bang. The 2300T uses Crosman’s own “target “ barrel ( not the Lothar Walther barrel as with the 2300S. How much more accurate is the 2300T barrel than your 2400? That’s hard to say. When you say 2400, I think custom shop pistol or carbine. What barrel did you select when you ordered it? Also is your gun .177 or .22?
@@alanalford5996 thank you for replying. The Crosman 2400 that I have was ordered from Amazon, not from Crosman custom shop. The custom shop model is the 2300KT. You can select from various barrels. You can also get it with a scope attached, but I'm sure it's pretty cheap. Not sure what to do. I like the fact that the 2300T, which I can purchase from Amazon, has a longer barrel than the 2400. But the bottom line for me is accuracy. I could try it and return it if it doesn't meet my requirements, but I don't like doing that. When you have a limited budget, the choices are limited. More money, of course, allows from a selection of good accurate pistols. Do you think it's worthwhile trying? I just finished shooting my 2400. I'm good at lining up the sights, but I can't get a nice grouping, and I'm only shooting at 5 yards away. PS. I wouldn't mind the Silhouette 1701P, but that's beyond my budget.
The 2300T offers a longer and higher quality barrel in addition to the short steel breach which is my favorite when using iron sights with a longer barrel. The 2300T is the only way to get that breach on a production gun. Does your 2400 have the adjustable trigger weight and the trigger stop screw in the frame? These are both features on the 2300T and 2300S that can greatly improve practical accuracy. There are more in depth look at this and other Crosman pistols on my Al’s Airguns Channel if you’re interested.
@@alanalford5996 the 2400 doesn't have the adjustable screw for the trigger unfortunately. There is a way of lightening the trigger by squeezing the spring for about a minute or so. It seems to work. From what you are saying, the 2300T looks like a good option for me. I will check out your other channel. Thank you so much for all your help. Very grateful.
There was a time, not that long ago, when CO2 pistols were the most advanced target air pistols one could buy, although those guns did not use 12 g powerlets but refillable CO2 tanks. Nowadays these pistols (and CO2 air rifles for that matter) have been replaced by PCP guns in serious competition use. But the old high quality guns still work just as well as they did during their heydays, and they can be bought 1/10th of the price of a new PCP target pistol. So for a hobbyist target shooter, or an air gun collector like me, they are a real bargain.
I am still debating between the 2300 T or S and this video may just help me decide today. Is it worth jumping right up into the 2300S in your opinion? Much appreciated.
Yeah, they cover that with there PCP Silhouette pistol (Model 1701 I believe.) It’s sweet, got a nicer trigger on it as well. Some folks swap that pistol’s grip frame and trigger to their 2300, 22xx and such. I’ve planned a pcp 2240xl using a Discovery valve. The problem is unless you go with a substantially longer air tube you’re only getting like two shots.
Very informative review, thanks.
In UK these are retailing around 240£ as opposed to the standard donor gun which is less than 100£
informative review!
Glad you liked it!
Very nice looking pistol for sure.
This is very interesting to me. Thank you
Thanks!
Me too
There certainly has been a great deal of interest in this pistol lately.
If you like the review style Alan does additional video’s on this and others on the Al’s Airguns Channel on UA-cam.
@@AlsAirguns This is true. I believe that we’re getting close to 100 airgun videos (& shorts) on my Al’s Airguns Channel here on UA-cam.
I look forward to your videos
I’m pleased to hear that. Thanks
Thanks for the Review Alan 👍.
New Subscriber 🙏.
Cheers 😊🍁👌
Very helpful video with much information i was struggling to find. Thank you
Thank you,
To find more of these little bits of info, check out Al’s Airguns.
Great review Alan. Great little bit of info and I know what part to look for.
You’re welcome. More of such reviews can be found on Al’s Airguns, if you’d like to check on more of such reviews.
Why is this pistol so much more expensive?
I can get 2240 for €90, however 2300 costs €260.
You're two pistol reviews are quite good you should do some follow-up as you suggested in them.

I’m wondering 🤔 what you ended up getting. Care to share?
I would never buy a co2 powered air gun, it just isn't worth it!!!

Nowadays these pistols (and CO2 air rifles for that matter) have been replaced by PCP guns in serious competition use.

@@motteeI like how you bring clarity to why co2 powered air guns would still be preferred or of use or benefit
Very well said. 👏
I am still debating between the 2300 T or S and this video may just help me decide today.
Is it worth jumping right up into the 2300S in your opinion?
Much appreciated.
If you’re not on a budget & serious about precision shooting, I’d go for the 2300S.
he took your advise 😉@@alanalford5996
I suspect he will enjoy it.
Is a cool piece but would be cooler if it was pcp
Yeah, they cover that with there PCP Silhouette pistol (Model 1701 I believe.) It’s sweet, got a nicer trigger on it as well. Some folks swap that pistol’s grip frame and trigger to their 2300, 22xx and such.
