Hello from Oregon

Hi all. Well I have had my 1377 pistol for about 5 years now, and I pretty much got bitten by the bug now. I have a friend at work invite me out to go shooting squirrels, and starlings one weekend and it was the most fun I have hunting in long time. But I did see having a pistol has its draw backs so now I'm looking at one of Benjamin Trail NP, Nitro Piston. And then down the road the Hammerli Pneumatic Elite 10
. Any ways thanks for having such a cool forum.

Welcome
You could always add a shoulder stock, steel breech, longer barrel, modded valve, flat top piston, trigger tune etc. etc. to that 1377 and join the ranks of us who have turned that $60. pistol into a $200+ sweet shooting accurate monster
Enjoy your new addiction and post often.

"Well I have had my 1377 pistol for about 5 years now, and I pretty much got bitten by the bug now."
Wow, what took you so long, Plinker? The bug must have been dormant for a little while until it decided to take hold but when it does, watch out! You're sick, big time. LOL! As David said, you can do a lot with that great little gun but you can do a lot more with lots more guns. That's how this addiction works, always more more more!!!
Welcome to the GTA, Plinker. We're glad you're here.

Hey Plinker. Welcome to GTA forums. Glad you found us and joined up. The 1377 is a nice gun. There's tons of stuff available for it and you can make it whatever you want. Here's my "Goldfinger" that started it's life as a 1377 pistol.
I've recently acquired a multi-shot breech I'm debating on strapping on too. LOL
Visit often, post often and be sure to post pictures of your airgun adventures.
Happy Shooting!!!!

Welcome to the GTA. I don't expect you to only have those two weapons long. They multiply on their own when not being shot!
