I found a lot of confusing or conflicting info on the moderator before I got mine so I wanted to share what I found on it. I hope you like yours as much as I like mine. I really think it's a great value for the money.
Out of the box stock, the HW44 with a target trigger, regulated, and a high grade barrel etc, is "4 times the price" more accurate, but that was just my experience with my exact units. DB is a entry level budget pcp pistol, while the HW is a high powered full featured hunting, near target grade pcp pistol.
I put an O ring on the moderator threads of every one of my air rifles. Easy to take the moderator off and on, it doesn’t come loose or effect anything once you just snug it on. Getting ready to order one. Just gonna get the reg for it right off the bat and a Hawke dot sight. Looking forward to snuffin some squirrels. Thank you for the video. More comprehensive than many others.
Funny you mention the oring on the threads as I actually do use them on some of my airguns. I just didn't think about it with the Bandit. Thanks for the comment!
I see you've had this for a few months now so i was wondering if you've experienced the common problem with stormriders, bandits, chasers,... The bolt handle keeps breaking off with all these models because it's basically the exact same gun with a different stock. I owned a stormrider and it broke off after about 3 weeks.
I'm in Arizona. Hot and trying to get rid of varmints ( ground squirrels, pack rats ... ). What scope/sights would any one here recommend for this beautiful pistol? Edit: Pistol is .22.
If you're relatively close shooting I always like/use/recommend a good quality smaller (2-3) MOA red/green dot optic. If reaching out a short 'pistol' tad farther, a decent quality 2x magnified scope has worked for me in most pistol pesting uses.
The Bandit is a chinese gun bro like the Artemis SMK variants of the guns, this is known as the Artemis PP800 in the UK, I own one, parts are interchangeable with the Diana Chaser/ SMK Victory CP2.
Mine will be here tomorrow. Your video is only 2nd video to mention the moderator being removable. You went more in depth about so thank you

The Chaser magazines are rough when brand new and eventually break in.
I have heard that as well.
Thank you for the video!
You're welcome!
I am curious how accurate the Diana was compared to the HW which is 4 times the price?

Now get the chaser kit in .22 and you'll have 4 different types of pistols with 6-7 different setups. Bandit is a 17 FPE pistol in .22 cal.
Swapping barrels receivers and stocks... Sounds like some interesting fun. I'll look into that, thanks!
The handle looks laser engraved…. I just got mine today!!
I think it might be... Cool and good luck with it!

It's still (luckily) holding steady with no issues.
