Feels realistic when held and aimed. Easy to put in CO2 cartridges.

Very accurate I thought right out of the box. Nice to have extra clips for shooting.

Nice 10 shot pellet mag Accuracy is excellent High fps for the price

Bring back the 8 inch barrel!

Very reliable and accurate 10 shot .177 pellet pistol. Highly recommended!

The ease of changing the Co2 cartridge. Takes pellet or BBs.

powerful, accurate, fun and co2 lasts for many magazines. Easy to load and very accurate. Its a great co2 pistol!

the grips are a little big for me, and a bit loose; but I got used to them, no big deal.

Get extra mags for this so you can keep shooting! It's pretty loud when shooting in basement/garage.

You cannot beat the price, given the functionality. Faster than it's competition in the lower price area, accurate and it is versital. Just an all around fun toy.

Given the price I do not think you could change much. It needs a better system to lock in the pellet cartridge. It can be rotated easily throwing you out of sequence.

I own an expensive competition pistol, but, this is a great plinking gun at a small fraction of those prices!

WELL MADE REALISTIC REVOLVER

NOTHING

SAFETY

the power of this small gun

the plastic grip

should get extra clips

love the fact you can mount scoops on the gun. also how accurate this gun is and how realistic it is

i would change the way the co2 is covered not a fan of the plastic covers and how hard the trigger is

that this gun trigger is harder compared to others pistols

The gun just looks cool. It's also easy to load BBs, Pellets and CO2. I've had no issues after about 50 rounds.

The plastic that covers the CO2 on the handles is pretty cheap (not sure how long it will hold up). Not a big deal based on the price of the gun.

Like the rail under the barrel for a laser.

Does not seem as accurate as my old 357W which I sold. Dummy! Now the 357W is replaced by this.

I have found some old stock of 357W's at a local discounter which they are selling for $20 over the old street price of $49.95. Some discount. Dummy!

Enclosed co2. It has a nice handgun feel to it.

Sights, the pellet magazine could be a tab better fit, easing loading pellets without worry of it hitting the floor while still on the pin.

I bought 2 of these, first one just would not seal, so payed the 10.00 and had them do a test shot, and air seal check. I suggest everyone do that, beats getting one and having to send it back.

I love the size of it. Has the size / feel of a firearm, just lighter. Construction of the pistol is pretty good overall. Metal frame. Steel rifled barrel. Metal trigger. Metal hammer. Cart. tensioner metel cap, metal thread, metal handle into metel. Plastic grips that snap in and out of place. (IF the plastic tongs were to break that hold the grip in place, a rubber band wrapped around the grip spanning top to bottom would hold it in place & tight, as well would not interfier with hand placement and grip) Poly-type barrel shroud with Weaver upper & lower rails. (Top back & Bottom front) Plastic BB & Pellet clips. Metal push button & "hook" into Poly-Type shroud area to keep barrel locked in place. Not a heavy hitter. Low powered. Low fps. "Advertised" shows a bit higher fps than the tests I've seen. Tests on pellets with a 10.5 gr pellet show 409 fps Won't hit real hard, but sill be a fun plinker. Tested mine with 7.48 to 8.64's. goes through empty soda cans with no problem

The grips being removable to put the cart in doesn't reattach real tight. Tight enough to not just fall off, but does feel a bit loose when gripping it. Not loose enough to be a problem or affect shooting, just noticeable. A little better way of attaching them would make that go away.

6 inch barrel. Just under 11 1/2 inches long from muzzle to back of grip. 9 3/4 inches from muzzle to top of hammer. Being double and single action is a nice feature. Double action is a lot heavier trigger pull. Not bad, but is heavier. As well, a lot more movement when in double action. Single action, nice trigger pull. Smooth an easy. No movement. Hammer pull's back quick an easy to work it in single action rather quickly with a nice trigger pull to make it start all over again. Noise level. The test reviews show 87.5 db's 3 feet from pistol being fired. Noise level does drop as more shots are fired from the cart. In all, not all that loud, making it backyard friendly. (DO remember though, this airgun pistol does have the size & look of an actual firearm. From a distance, could look very real. That combined with some "noise" when fired, could potentionally be an issue.) Loading... Push button to release the "hook", barrel breaks down, filled clip rests on a pin. Close barrel

Not heavy & easy to use.

Nothing.

Everything!!

Needs a 4" barrel

This pistol is the BEST BUY @PA,a real sleeper!,I have 5 of these basic guns that I've collected over the years!I gave 2 of these away as gifts to get my friends as a cheap way to be exposed to hand gun shooting!Read TG review and than buy 1,2,maybe 3.In my mind you all will love this pistol!!

Has a similar feel and handling as its firearm counterpart. Easy to load. Fun to shoot.

Trigger travel is a LONG way. Trigger pull is rough. Front sight should be a matte finish, or high visibility insert.

With a few tweaks this could be a great gun.

Break open design coupled with loading disk. Have not done extensive accuracy testing yet but the geese in the yard are concerned with the out of the box accuracy. Good value for the money

Front insert for better sight picture in low light

Fits my hand perfect. The accuracy is amazing. I group my shots in a half inch circle at twenty yards. This is with pellets or BBS.

The magazine should be a little more snug. But the pistol still has max power. The handle grips feel loose but they do not fall off and they pull apart for CO2 change with (I think) the proper pressure.

Shoots as well as more expensive pistols. I put a Gamo Laser sight on it and accuracy is still perfect. This pistol is an unexpected pleasure to shoot. I need to find a holster now.

Awesome trigger. SA tigger is single stage, short, tight and crisp. Perfect for me. Very good accuracy with BBs. Mediocre accuracy with pellets using stock barrel, but read below. Excellent adjustable rear sight.

Grips are aweful. They are loose on the gun even when you are holding it. I would fix mount the grips and load the cartridge through a large allen screw at the bottom big enough to pass the cartridge. I much prefer the Colt Python look of the previous 357 version. Would love a metal barrel for a few dollars more.

For under $10 you can get a replacement barrel for the previous model direct from Crosman. The older barrel has deeper riffling exclusively for pellets and is dramatically more accurate than the BB/pellet combo barrel that comes with the gun. You can swap barrels in 30 seconds, so keep both and you have a great BB plinker that converts to an inexpensive target shooter with the turn of a screw. Off hand at 10 yards I can shoot groupings with pellets or BBs 2-2.5" with the stock barrel. With a replacemnt 357 barrel, I can shoot well under an inch with a 6" barrel and about 1" with a 4" barrel.

The feel of a large Caliber handgun. Right out of the box, it shoots very well

Not sure of any right now

As many other say, buy the extra clips !

This feels like a true Revolver and handles very good , Its great for target shooting and easy to load

So far i like it no changes needed
