Page 7 - Crosman Vigilante Reviews

Price, you cant beat it. Its real fun to shoot not sure if it would actually kill a rat which is why I purchased the Vigilante. Accuracy not really there it maybe me Im still getting used to action.

The barrel was to short left a gap between breach and mag a lot of blow out. Shimed the barrel to close the gap. Im sure this improved the FPS.

Other than the poor fitting barrel this gun is great just know that for the money your getting a well built gun.

I got this last year for Christmas and i have put about 750 bbs and 500 pellets, I like the gamo red fire, the gamo tomohawk pellets i get 1.00" to 1.75" groups at 7 yards, It is so far my first and only co2 airgun and my second favorite airgun next to my daisy powerline 880 shadow with a winchester 4x32 AO rifle scope, which likes the same pellets. Any ways i love my crosman vigilante you could possibly kill a rabbit with a head shot 5-10 yards but i have so far only used as a plinker great job crosman.

Nothing except make it in .22 as well

You should buy this gun and that it is kind of loud when you first put in a co2 cartridge

Well balanced, easy to load both co2 and pellets. Single action let-off is not bad. Bought this to replace my aging 357. The Vigilante is better. You can't go wrong with a $49 purchase!

Demark the sights with front post green and rear notch red. I did it by painting with Testor's model paints. Made a big difference for acquiring bull's eye on targets!

If you shoot BB's you'll wreck the rifling. They'll also bounce back at you with the same fps you shot at. Lead won't do that.

I'm a newbie at airgunning and co2 shooting so my review isn't techy, gun is well balanced and accurate at a distance of 21- 33 feet using pellets, I do mostly bench shooting at my age. I also use the green dot scope from PA.

Plastic grips, I don't know what to change to, trigger could be lighter on DA, otherwise, it's fun to shoot.

I liked the inter changeable mags and the weight.

I would like to see the same only in the Dan Wesson style. I really like his weight and the use of cartridges that look so real.

nope

Built well and strong.

Miss fire a lot , May have co2 leaks , Co2 does not last long.

Fun and great for the money.

This gun us very accurate out to about 10 meters, shoots dime size holes at 20 feet shoots about 445 average with 7 grain miesterkuglens for about first 35 to 40 shots then gets about another 20 or so. Very fun gun to shoot.

Not much here to complain about for the price

Great gun for plinking in the back yard or play target games in the garage just as accurate as my 586 pellet pistol just not nearly as smooth

Good little revolver, especially in Single Action. Easy and quick to reload (with additional clips), does well with 8 to 12 grain pellets. Trigger is excellent in Single Action shooting. Accurate enough for plinking out to about 20 yards.

Make the grips a little better interlocking to reduce wiggle.

This is a great revolver, best shot single action (if you want to hit anything). It is a bit to easy to go through more pellets than you can afford in a day, same for CO2. This is definitely a Plinker, not accurate enough for target shooting in my experience. Because this has a rifled barrel I only shoot lead pellets out of it, I do not like using BB's in anything with a rifled barrel.

This is a great gun for the money! It is modelled after the early Crosman 357 4/6/8's of the 90's and in fact you can actually interchange those barrels on the gun. I have personally modified two Vigilantes one to a 4" barrel and an one to an 8" barrel from the early 357's and they work amazingly but I would not recommend shooting BB's through anything but the Vigilante's barrel though as it is designed for both. It is very accurate and has adjustable windage and elevation which is a major plus in any pellet/ BB gun. It is very lightweight and has respectable velocity of 465 fps for BB's and 435 fps for pellets for target shooting or small game hunting. I got 88 shots out of one Co2 shooting pellets. The magazines are inexpensive and I would recommend stocking up on them so you can enjoy fluid shooting fun. Obviously having the capability to shoot either Pellets or BB's is a major plus with this gun and makes an afternoon of shooting very affordable!

The only things I do not love on this gun is the polymer outer barrel and plastic grips but they are really not a huge issue as they do not effect the functionality of the gun.

Great gun for the money!

The weight and balance of this pistol is nice. It's man sized. I like the rail and put a red dot on it. Pyramid delivered it the next day and my pellet stock was depleted in no time. It's a blast.

Nothing, for this price.

The clip is deep enough to use round nose pellets instead of wad cutters and soup cans at 25 yards tremble.

The vigilante is an extremely accurate air pistol. I like it being a top break because it is easy to load. I like the piticanny rail on the top. I mounted an UTG red/green dot on it and it looks it really cool.

The grips are a slight problem. They are very solid but a good grip cuts down the movement

Well worth the money.

fair price for a pellet repeater

trigger is way too heavy.

Dependable and very reliable. 10 shot mag Very powerful with standard 6 inch barrel and even more so with my 8 inch barrel added Nice and accurate

Nothing

The Vigilante is a very reliable and dependable air pistol with its 10 shot mag and standard 6 inch barrel. I managed to buy a no longer made 8 inch barrel which gives me even more accuracy and power than the standard 6 inch barrel. Very happy with my modded Vigilante!

Absolutely everything, Good weight Solid gun, I'll get used to the plastic grip realising that I have to compromise to insert the CO2. Very accurate Never shot a bb but it love shooting pellets

Ok Maybe the grips

For a good repeating revolver with solid fps for a CO2 pistol This is a very fun winner 5 stars all the way through

Fun to Shoot

Nothing

Pull the hammer back, and take a careful shot, 90% accuracy with BBs and Pellets Great for quick-draw from holster

I broke my girlfriend's vigilante while messing around with it all stupid trying to remove the rear sight, broke the seals. Well, I ordered a replacement from pyramyd air, and when it arrived in slightly rough condition, their customer service was top notch. They send me a brand new replacement which arrived quickly and were very apologetic despite my initial salty reaction. It came with free extra co2 and pellets. These are some good people doing good work.

Nothing

It's fun to shoot. Rail system for laser sight is handy.

I liked to see the grip replaced with more realistic material instead of the plastic.

Fits the Crossman Leg Holster Crosman Leg Holster, Camo, Mag... perfectly.

Nice gun for the price, shoots good no issues so far

Make the grips a little better quality, but its an inexspensive gun so you do get what you pay for.

Maybe a better set of grips thats all

Accurate at 15 yards which means I could keep all the shots on an 8 inch target I got good value for the 40 dollars I spent it is not a 600 dollar target pistol like my Ruger but worth what I paid for it.

Nothing if you want more pay more.

It's very good for practice shooting I did not shoot it closer than 15 yards as I am a CCW holder I try to keep my targets at the farthest distance I may have to shoot closer I am not going to miss and farther away I am not going to shoot because they would be retreating.

The gun is fairly accurate, feels good in the hand, makes good use of co2 and is fun to shoot. Of course the price is good.

Not a lot. Like it's predecessor the breakdown release can make the thumb a little sore after a while.

I have the older version of the Crosman co2 357. This is basically the same gun with a face lift. Shoots good, nice little gun.
