Since I don’t have the gun yet I can’t tell you exactly anything but it’s a .20 with a beautiful wood stock and a peep sight. Got it from a member:) I just ordered some .20 JSB 13 some odd grain pellets. I’ve wanted a wood version a while

So a Crosman " Sheridan " C9 or C9A ?

C9a

Thanks Frank.

Great choice! It should hurl JSB and- if you spend the coin- Polymags with authority. The latter are especially effective for pesting.

Be sure to start working out with weights to increase your upper body strength.

First off, pumping them is exercise, isn't it?
And then, there is bench rest shooting ;D
-
No plinking here just shooting ground squirrels

Congrats Mike...
One thing I learned early about the Sheridan type pumpers that alot of owners will agree... you don't need 8 pumps for every shot. Matter of fact, most of us rarely pump more than 5.
Enjoy.

So, last month I bought one of the GARMIN chronographs and checked all the arms.
These numbers are from my C9a.
As Bill said, not much need to go beyond 6 pumps.
Especially at 78:
-
Congrats OP…I dont kill chit…only paper and cans…so none of mine go past 4…even out to 30 yards…the 13xx carbines ?… may see 6 just for the distance….good luck
-
I do the full 8 pumps on my Blue Streak once in a blue moon. 5 pumps is the normal max, and 4 thwaps a squirrel into The Big Sleep out to 35 yards. I use 3 for plinking and chasing cans, though Sonja like the extra smack of 6 pumps when we're shooting at out "target cymbal" about 45 yards away.
A final note: 1 or 2 pumps before you put it away.

Appreciate the info. 4 pumps it is !!
-
You see my speed data above??
180 pumps plus two for storage…
😰 😰
Especially for a 78 year old screw sans prostate!
-
Here she is . She’s a 2011 according to Crosman.
-
Congrats Mike! She's a beauty!

Thank you!! I swore all I was going to shoot were PCPs but I’m glad I went to my roots a bit.
-
Congratulations Mike!
That rifle will probably outlive any PCP.
-
Just take good care of it, store with 1-2 pumps in it.
I absolutely agree with what is mentioned with pumping. WHY wear yourself out ??? Three pumps for setting sights & close target practice,,, 5 for small game,, up to 8 for larger game/longer distance shooting.
-
Now that Ive been bitten by the collectors bug…I may have to add at least one ….lol.these 1xx are a hoot…good luck
-
All you need now is one of those grip thingamaghigs that snaps on the barrel and plenty of ammo.
Enjoy it in good health.

Good input to read. I’ve been using 3 pumps for target practice and plinking out to 50-60-something ft. Longer than that gets 4 pumps. Most I’ve done is 5 pumps on a few occasions, mainly out of curiousity. It gets louder and, presumbly, smacks harder. I doubt I can pump it 8 times. Max for me will probably be 6.
-
Speaking of pumping….I shot the 100).177) and the 101(.22) yesterday stayed at 4 pumps…they did ok out to 30 yards…pumping did not get old…I will say this the 100 seems to be a little tighter than 101 and they have both been rebuilt.pretty good for a couple of guns at least 74 years old…well parts of them….good luck
-
Initial testing the gun isn’t accurate. I’m going to chrono it and see what’s going on. I also see some paint on the muzzle which I’ll clean. I’ll clean the barrel too well
-
I just cleaned the muzzle from paint, cleaned the barrel, removed, cleaned and oiled the hammer slightly, lubed all pivots . 4 pumps it’s a consistent 420 fps 3’shots
-
Mine..

Mine..
I ordered a seal kit might as well put new seals maybe the velocity will be better

The Sheridans are a lot of fun. I have one C9a that I seldom shoot, preferring the Racine Model C. Up until last week, had two Silver Streaks and three Blue Streaks. Gave each of my four grandsons a Racine Sheridan. One got a Silver Streak and the other three got Blue Streaks. Had to keep one Silver Streak for myself. First Blue Streak I had years ago was stolen.
In my shop, I use 3 pumps, outside either four or maybe five pumps. Very seldom do I go to eight pumps. At 84 years old, eight pumps is not much fun. However, I must admit that I shoot my PCP or springer more often.
