I just got a 2240. Not for myself but as a gift for a friend.
I had not considered buying one for myself since I already have four .22 CO2 pistols that are respected vintage guns and highly accurate.
After test firing this 2240 I've decided that this is also a must have CO2 pistol.
Accuracy and velocity are on par with my upgraded S&W 78g and MkI Crosman Ruger replica. The 2240 is actually better balanced than those guns and easier to hold on target. My vintage 38T is the best balanced and if anything more accurate but somewhat less powerful than the others mentioned.
The 2240 like other Crosman single shot pistols is one that is very friendly to modifications and custom builds, but as is straight out of the box I believe its the best buy of any modern manufacture CO2 pistol.
