Here's Benjamin's HB17 multi-pump air pistols. It looks like a clone of Crosman's gun, but don't be fooled like I was at first, believing this to be a clone of Crosman's 1377. Turns out, Benjamin created this interesting gun before, and Crosman followed suit and created the 1300, hence the modern 13XX series looks like a clone of the HB17. I found out about all this after a bit more facts digging. Oddly enough though.. Crosman bought out Benjamin some time back, and has since kept making this classic with the thought... Don't mess with a good thing! The HB17 now under the wings of Crosman are still manufactured the same way back in the day.. with brass and bronze parts throughout... careful use of quality steel where needed, and real wood for the grips and pump handle instead of plastics or composites. The HB17 has a bigger brother, like Crosman's 1377 having the 1322. Again the HB17 is 17caliber, or .177 with the HB22 being .22 inch or 22caliber... 4.5 and 5.5mm respectively. Just like my other models of Crosman's guns, this HB17 is free to use.
