Air Venturi MicroStrike PCP Air Pistol

Accuracy is really incredible, I mean pellets, slugs, it eats basically any good condition ammo. It's overall size when folded & suppressor is off is like 15" or 16" I think it fits in my backpack eazy even decked out . I did alotta mods & upgrades on mine minor & major. I machined a .22cal 23" rifle barrel for my microstrike & I was pushin 41.01gr slugs out @ 990+ fps & 89.233fpe, quarter size groups at over 100yrds. I'm not a gunsmith i just know my way around a machine shop. It's all metal, all but the butstock. I have all 3 configurations .177cal, .22cal, .25cal, stats are basically the same in accuracy, power, between the 3. Lately all I'm hearin is the umerex notous (however u spell it) & I've seen the videos on that & I'm still not impressed I'd take anyone wit that umarex on wit my microstrike anytime, any conditions but I digress...C.D.H.

The price is a little bit high in my opinion but that could be said about almost all airguns out there. Offer longer barrel kits? Metal magazines wouldn't hurt either...js

Just trust the seller

I chose the .177 believing it might be the quietest of the 3. 71 db ain’t bad. It’s plenty accurate with crossman hollow points which is awesome cuz they are cheap and I shoot a lot, with expensive pellets like h&n 8.44s it’s freaking amazing at 40 yds, but it did take some tinkering for me to get that accuracy.

First I would band the barrel, I got poi shift from just handling the gun by the barrel. I made a custom barrel band and no more shifting barrel. Make sure you tighten all the fasteners, mine were all loose. My gun needed a shorter hammer spring and lighter lube on the hammer itself, no matter what reg pressure I set, the hammer adjuster would not raise the fps, and average spread was about 20 fps. I fixed those issues also.

I found my best results from this caliber at 1700 psi on the reg, I tried them all lol and lots of different pellets. I get 35 shots at 850 fps with a 4000 psi fill shooting 7.6 grain hollow points and 825 fps with 8.44 grain on the same reg and hammer tune. And no poi shift between the two, which is awesome! I do recommend this cool pistol if you’re looking for something fun and interesting to put some time into, I’ve found it to be very rewarding and worth every dollar. Thanks pyramid

Liked the gun but not the fact that it leaked air,,,,,,,,,PA great - sent out a new one - hopefully this one better but Alpha has performed as well or better........would not have bought the MS if I knew the Alpha was coming out........JMO

I Liked the picture that Charles shows on his review "Top Positive Review" dated Dec 3 2025. I read the grip was changed for a Hogue model but I can not find one matching this on the Hogue web page. I was liking the scope you used in the photo...No info either & the ring height either to go over (to clear) the magazine.

The Hand grip and the rings for the scope as shown in the "Top Positve Review" picure.

What "You Tube Video" do you ref to for Jim Chapman.... Can not find that either. Need more info if your willing.

I love the size of this gun you can fold it up and put it in the backpack and carry it on your e-bike to go hunting

The barrel and shroud design need to be rethought there is too much movement in the gun cannot hold zero

I put a handguard on mine that has lips that come up beside the shroud and fill those gaps with the epoxy now the gun buys like a nail driver perfect for evike hunting

I like the size. I use it in my back pack with my E Bike

The barrel and Shroud. Because of the design. The gun won't hold zero. I had to put a handguard on it and epoxy it to keep the barrel/shourd from moving. Now it holds zero

Without modifing it. It won't be accurate.

A true hunter for light game. Light and easy to wield. Lends itself to a red dot as well as a scope. Can increase/decrease power. Accepts a moderator easily (much needed on this one). Good folding stock. Overall, a good solid build. Very smooth operation. Much cheaper than it could be that's for sure.

I would like to see a true handle on the charging lever. Ambidextrous would be nice. The biggest change would be to be able to adjust power without degassing the gun.

All things considered this is a excellent choice for anyone beginner or seasoned user. It's made well and feels like a true piece of working art. YOU WILL WANT something to moderate the noise. This pistol/rifle is very loud.

This is a great little pistol/carbine. I get 20 good shots out if it with a variety of pellets. The airgun wears a PARD 256Q thermal scope is great for picking off vermin at night. Average distance has been 35 yards and very lethal with properly placed head shots.

Nothing that I can think of.

Adjustablilty, easy caliber switch, great performance for the size. I have it with .177 and .25 calibers. I like them both but use the .177 more.

Nothing.

I leave mine charged and haven't had any leaks after several months. The folding stock on mine has a tiny amount of play when extended and locked but the way I hold it to my shoulder keeps it fixed for stability so it is not a problem for performance for me. I am very pleased with the microstrike and use is often.

Thought this was great portable carbine, which the form factor is. But the POS began leaking air after about three months. I have several PCP rifles/pistols and NONE of them leak. I followed up by buying the AV Alpha. Had I know it was available, I would have NEVER bought the MS.

How about not leaking??????

Don't waster your money - get the alpha for over $100 less - and it does not leak........
