Crosman American Classic P1322 – .22 Caliber Variable Pump Air Pistol
The Crosman P1322 (028478144651), also known as the American Classic, is a legendary multi-pump pneumatic air pistol that has been a staple for target shooters and small-game hunters for decades. This .22 caliber powerhouse is celebrated for its variable pump power, allowing the user to control the velocity based on the task at hand—from light backyard plinking to high-velocity pest control. Built with a rifled steel barrel and a simple bolt-action design, the P1322 provides a level of accuracy and reliability that far exceeds its affordable price point.
Unlike CO2-powered airguns, the P1322 is completely self-contained. The easy-pump forearm serves as the lever to pressurize the internal chamber; a few pumps are sufficient for indoor targets, while a full ten pumps can propel a lead pellet at speeds up to 460 FPS. The pistol features an adjustable rear sight (switchable between peep and open notch) and a fixed-blade front sight. Its rugged, all-weather synthetic grip and forearm are designed for a secure hold, making it one of the most versatile and customizable airguns on the market, with a massive community of enthusiasts dedicated to "modding" this iconic platform.
