Crosman SSP-250 Silhouette Sport Air Pistol .177 Pellet Airgun

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE VERY NICE CROSMAN SSP-250 SILHOUETTE TARGET CO2 PELLET PISTOL .177 CAL – in good to very good cosmetic and perfect operating condition with new professional reseal, cleaning and lube 4/24 (and is priced above average accordingly due to the new professional reseal and overall condition). Includes reprinted owner’s manual and exploded parts diagram. I have five of these so just selling because it’s sad that they don’t get more use. I am second owner of this airgun (purchased September 2016) and it was professionally cleaned, lubed, and resealed by my personal airgunsmith in April 2024. This one has the serial number of 889201305 and all SSP-250s were made from 1989-1995. The SSP-250 was the forerunner of the Crosman 1701P Silhouette PCP, 2300S Silhouette, 2300T Target, and the 22XX series pistols. One of the claims to fame of this pistol design is the easily changed barrels/loading ports between .177, .20, and .22 and it was designed to be that way. The other claim to fame is that is has two cocking knob power settings -- it can be cocked for low power to get more shots (probably no one really does this..heh, heh) or higher power but fewer shots. Lower velocities yield higher shot counts, which may be desirable for economical indoor paper punching. The SSP-250 uses a single 12gm CO2 cartridge with the piercing pin in the CO2 tube. This listing has one of the best finishes of the four currently listed and otherwise is 85% or better, the grips show some minor wear as shown in the pics, and some bits of paint worn off on one barrel band as in pics – PLEASE STUDY THE PICS OF THIS (AND ANY) LISTING CLOSELY. This pistol is priced somewhat higher than the other SSP-250 .177 listings because of the overall condition and current reseal date. It has a 9-7/8” rifled barrel and weighs about 48 ounces to make it heavier pistol and some people find it a bit front heavy though it never was an issue for my shooting. It has a fixed front blade sight and a rear sight that’s adjustable for both windage and elevation and is both a reversible notch and peephole blade. The SSP-250 does not really have an adjustable trigger but some people do make modifications. There is plenty of info about this iconic airgun on the web – most likely if you are interested in buying this pistol you likely already know quite a bit about it. PLEASE NOTE that this pistol normally has a hooded front sight (a black sheet metal slide-on removable hood – removable so as not to possibly interfere with scopes, red dots, etc. – this one DOES *NOT* have the front-sight hood included. **HOWEVER** -- I have one hood left to sell separately and will list it for you upon request, as I’m only listing it at that time as an advantage to my buyers as these hoods are VERY hard to find (the two I recently purchased came from Canada). I have two SSP-250 listings with no front-sight hood so whomever purchases one of those listings and asks for it first can have it. This model does have a steel breech with a 3/8” dovetail for mounting scopes and red dots. Additionally, like most Crosman pistols with this grip frame, the grips can be easily removed to add the readily available plastic stock to make this pistol into a nice carbine. This is a single-shot pistol with a swing out pellet loader and likes .177 wadcutters best but will shoot .177 domes as well. The grips are plastic. It is rather powerful (and loud) for a .177 CO2 pistol as were pistols of this era. Each of the three caliber barrels for this model has its own respective caliber loader port and they must match if you plan to purchase them and can find them. Before selling, I have tested this for at least 3 days and this pistol has not lost any CO2 – after that I have expelled the CO2 and removed the CO2 cartridge to prevent damage to the face seal. You can expect velocities with 7.9gr pellets on the high-power setting as high as 575fps (avg. 560fps) and the low-power setting around 475fps (average 440fps) at 70 degrees, though as with all CO2 guns, their operation is temperature dependent. These models were also amazingly accurate producing possible sub-0.5-inch groups at 25 feet. This is also a louder pistol than many today! MODEL SSP-250 CO2 PISTOL SPECIFICATIONS from the manual: · Mechanism type: Single-shot, CO2 pull rear bolt. · Caliber: .177 · Weight: 3 lbs. · Overall Length: 14 inches · Sights: Fully adjustable open rear sight, windage & elevation · Undercut ramp front sight · Sight Radius: 9-23/32” · Barrel Length: 9-7/8” · Power Source: One Crosman 12-gram Powerlet, 900 P.S.I, at 72 degrees F. · Number Shots per Powerlet: 30+ useful shots on high power, and up to 90 shots on low power · Muzzle Velocity: with 7.9gr pellets: 560 fps with High, 440 fps with low at 70° This pistol is in perfect operating condition and it just needs a new home that will give it more use than I give it. A nice addition to your pistol collection and fun to shoot. The pistol is in otherwise good cosmetic condition for its age other than what was detailed earlier in the listing -- all my pistols listed (unless specified otherwise) are clean and in perfect working condition. NO LEAKS and holds CO2 for at least 3 days as per testing before selling. It’s normally not recommended to store CO2 cartridge pistols with engaged cylinders for more than a short time as it may cause face seal damage. Always use 2-3 drops of Pellgun Oil (or ATF will work) onto the face seal or tip of the CO2 cartridge to keep the seals fresh as the oil disperses through the CO2 gun - you CANNOT over-oil a CO2 gun! The SSP-250 still has some available parts, accessories, and complete seal kits ($20) from various vendors and they are relatively easy to maintain and repair if/when needed. A great training tool for handling of pistols and firearm safety !!! Before selling, I have tested this for over 3 days and this pistol has not lost any CO2. **FREE ECONOMY SHIPPING !!
