The Model 1322 is a pneumatic pump-action air pistol utilizing .22 (5.5 mm) caliber lead pellets.

This pump lever is cycled a variable number of times (up to a maximum of ten strokes) to store increasingly pressurized air in a chamber.

[3][4] The Model 1322 features fully adjustable square notch rear and front fixed blade sights.

In 1981, a composite skeletonized shoulder stock (Model 1399) was introduced as a factory option by Crosman, converting the pistol into a carbine.

Many factory and aftermarket parts are available for the 1322, including match-grade or custom-length barrels, steel breeches (receivers) suited for mounting optical sights, wide triggers, barrel- and receiver-mounted scope rings, custom and high-output air valves, wood and composite grips and stocks, and other components.
