Customers praised this PCP air pistol for exceptional accuracy and build quality at a budget price. "Shooting 3/4 inch groups at 25 yards" with impressive power (760-860 FPS). However, it's "loud out of the box" requiring moderators. Some complained about long pre-order shipping delays (2-6 months) and missing parts. Magazine quality received mixed feedback.

For the cost of this pistol it is on point

For the cost of this pistol it is on point. I ordered in .22 and it’s shooting 3/4 inch groups at 25 yards with a non magnified red dot. Seems to like fx atomics, nsa 17gr .2175 slugs. I ordered some zan lead free slugs to see how those do. I am impressed. I do wish the trigger was a little better but it’s not bad.
Pinty if you read this, make this bad boy into a semi auto!

Thanks for sharing your experience and suggestions. We are considering a semi-automatic version—perhaps for the second half of next year.

Great budget pcp air pistol.

Great gun to shoot. Lots of fun for plinking I only have it 4 stars because the actions is pretty sticky. It could be a bit smoother. Noise level isn’t bad if you live in rural areas. A moderator (I use a the Donny FL Summo) works wonders and quiets the gun down substantially. The magazines are a nice touch with the rotary dial, easy to load pellets. I get about 32 accurate quarter size shots out to 15 yards. Nice for praying as well. Takes rats and mice out with a well placed shot.

Nice gun… but missing parts

Noticed my trigger pull was super heavy. So I researched.. watch a fellow YouTuber video he showed how to adjust it… I tried but I don’t even have the adjustment screw on mine… if I can’t hit the target I can’t shoot the buster.

Awesome Back Yard Plinker! Way Better than I Expected for the Price!

Perfect backyard Pinker. I love the gun, it shoots great, everything feels A+ quality, it's pretty loud out of the box but I added a Buck Rail moderator, and it quiets it down quite a bit. Now it's quiet enough for me to shoot off my deck without the neighbors knowing. I also added a Vortex Crossfire HD 1.5-3.5X scout scope and it works great with the setup. I preordered it 4 months ago and was surprised to see the summer promotion and discounts that were almost $100 cheaper than the pre-order price, so I canceled and reordered, the gun shipped within 3 hours, plus I got a free $44 optic on top. had the gun a few days later and yet my preorder just sat there, I wish they would have given more priority to the loyal customers who staked the product months in advance, over new orders, I guess there was no benefit at all in pre-ordering.

Wow, What a great pistol!

Wow, What a great pistol! I'm getting 27-28 shots all in the green level of the pressure guage. Using 14.66gr. H&N Field target trophy pellets I'm getting mid 760fps average shots over the entire shot string. And absolutely excellent accuracy. The Buster will make for an excellent hunting/pesting rig. Especially with the ability to transform it into a carbine, which is how I've set mine up. I just can't get over the fit, finish and quality that Pinty has put into this pistol.

Buster,

Received my new air pistol and I'm really pleased with the quality of construction. (Typical of all Pinty products I've purchased over the years. Looking forward to getting it charged up so I can start plinking with it. I'm opting for using nitrogen myself, being a better long term solution over compressed air. I'm also going to find me a nice little padded carry case for this nifty pistol. Want to take care of it. Well done, Pinty.

Buster .22 vs Buster .177?

Honestly I just tried both and I feel the.177 may be better. Definitely want a moderator on it. A little loud. I tried a Tatsu from DonnyFL and the Fatboy2.0. The Tatsu did help but I wanted more sound reduction, the Fat boy really did great but it blocks the front sight view. I will get something that is in between the two. The pistol feels front heavy, bipod recommended.

Buster has real balls

The wait is definitely worth the pistol. Shoots surprisingly as good as the Nightfall past 50 yards

This pistol far exceeded my expectation for power

This pistol far exceeded my expectation for power and accuracy. Minute of squirrel at 50 yds is no problem. The trigger is awesome. Not pellet fussy. Loud if turned up without moderator. Chunks .22 cal 25 gr pellets hard. Love it. I want a .25 cal now😂

My first PCP pistol

It took 2 months to recieve my .22 buster, but it was a well worth wait. I slapped a moderator and reflex on then filled the tank. The first 8 were sighting in second 8 was fine-tuning and third was pretty much1 ragged hole. I was shooting only 10 yds. I did have a few inconveniences. The first was the fill probe is a bit undersized and leaks. I used the probe from my Striker and that fixed the problem. The second is the pistol is a bit on the loud side. Easily fixed with a moderator. 3 This one has me a bit concerned, I have a new compressor, I set it for 250 bar. The compressor stops pumping at 250 but the gauge on the pistol is only 200 - 225. I really like the look, feel and accuracy thinking bout getting one in .177. Great pistol for the money!

Pinty Buster . 22

I was pretty excited watching videos about it before it came out. When I finally got one I wasn't disappointed. Fitted with a red dot and a DonnyFL mod it's quiet and accurate enough to seamlessly transition from plinking to pest control. I did have to adjust the trigger a little to smooth it out some and I put on the red corn sleeve for the fill port so I didn't have to remove the moderator every time. It works well off a bipod mounted to the lower rail and it's overall a lot more fun than I really expected. I thought it would be an occasional plinking tool because I have full size rifles but I find myself looking for opportunities to break out the Buster. If somebody makes a leg drop thigh holster for this thing I'll probably never take it off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Pinty Buster Tactical regulated?

Yes. The Pinty Buster Tactical uses a regulated PCP system designed to provide more consistent output between shots. Its 100cc air cylinder and regulated system are designed for a compact PCP air pistol platform.

Does this pistol leak air over time?

We've implemented stricter quality control across all units. Every Pinty Buster Tactical is pressure-tested at 250 bar for 48 hours before shipping to help ensure reliable air retention. If you experience any issue, our customer support team will be happy to assist.

Is the Pinty Buster Tactical quiet enough for backyard use?

The Pinty Buster Tactical produces the typical report associated with a high-power PCP air pistol. A compatible moderator may help reduce the sound level, but noise can vary depending on the setup and surroundings. Always check and follow local laws and regulations before using an airgun.

What is a PCP air pistol, and why choose the Pinty Buster Tactical?

PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) air pistols use compressed air as their power source. The Pinty Buster Tactical features a regulated output, compact design, sidelever action, and Picatinny rails for compatible accessories. It is available in .177 and .22 caliber options for different shooting preferences.

What's included in the box?

The package includes the Pinty Buster Tactical pistol, the applicable magazine(s), a fill probe, a quick-disconnect adapter, a barrel-cleaning kit, and a user manual. Free targets are also included with every order.

Which caliber should I choose, .177 or .22?

The .177 caliber offers a flatter trajectory and is well suited to target shooting and plinking. The .22 caliber uses a heavier pellet and provides greater muzzle energy. Consider your intended use, pellet preference, and local regulations when choosing between the two. Both caliber options are available for the Pinty Buster Tactical.
