Best gun I have ever owned I have many other bb/C02 guns and this is the best of them so far. I got mine here on amazon because i could not find this item in the stores. This revolver shoots very fast and Strong. IT CAN GO OVER 425FPS AND UP TO 400YARDS (4 football fields!) It has a little kick to it. I would recommend buying the extra ammo clips for it because this gun just comes with one. and it will run out quick as you pull the trigger ;) It shoots about 60-90 bb's/pellets per C02 cartage [ brand crosman C02] I would not want to be hit within 250yards of this thing... it would hurt very bad!

This gun is so much better then the reviews said. I was just looking for a cheap gun and settled on this but it is amazing. Some of the reviews said that it wasn't accurate but i guess they have no aim because I hit a target from 50ish yards 7 out of 10 times. Some also asked what it shoots and its .177 pellets and i bought gammo ammo and it works great. one review also said that the handle falls off but i think that they just broke it because mine fits perfectly. This is a great gun and i recommended it for any one.

What can i say, this is the best co2 pistol i've owned, and i've had some expensive ones. Not even considering the ridiculously low price, its a great gun to have with you just for the fun of it. It's deadly accurate although i had to set the sights up myself as it didn't come set perfectly. It fires about 30 shots at full power and the FPS starts going down after that but not much at all. Goes through aluminum cans so fast that the cans barely realize what happened and just twitch a tiny bit. Havent used the accessory railing cus i think revolvers arent meant to be used with scopes and such although the laser does tempt me because i go fishing at night alot and usually take this gun with me for a distraction while i'm sitting waiting for a bite. The one thing i didn't like is that the handle covers aren't completely flush with the metal when you put them on and rattle a little but a little minor work and got that fixed up pretty nice. Have recommended this gun to all my buddies and we all own them now. Very Very good gun.

Ended up getting the Crosman 357W for plinking and general fun. Overall VERY impressed with this gun, especially for the price!

Things I liked:

Accuracy: OUTSTANDING! This is really where this gun shines in my opinion. I can consistently place all my shots into the area less than the size of a quarter @ 20 feet. This thing does not shoot like a $50 gun to be sure... in fact it shoots so accurately that I somehow wonder if I didn't get a factory ringer.

Adjustable rear sight: Very nice touch!

Ergonomics: Gun has a good feel to it. Light compared to a real Colt Python obviously, but still feels substantial in hand. Does have slight kick to it... not much, but enough to let you know it's there.

Accessories: The rib on the top of the barrel actually does have 3/8" dovetail grooves machined into it, so it is possible to mount something like a Daisy Electronic Point Sight on it... which I did incidentally!

Fast changing of clips: Despite a tight barrel release (See below), the design does allow for a fast changing of clips. Definitely recommend picking up a couple of extra!

Things I didn't like:

Grips: Something about the way they snap into place around the CO2 powerlet feels a little cheap. This is just a personal preference thing and in no other way affects how this gun performs.

Barrel release: If there is one thing I really don't care for is the barrel release. It's very tight especially when new, and is supported by a small rubber block in the action. My main concern here is that over time the rubber will deteriorate which will have a negative effect on accuracy as this catch is the only thing holding the barrel to the rest of the gun. Would definite;y recommend a drop of silicon oil from time to time to keep this block lubricated and prevent wear.

Trigger: A little on the heavy side, but not bad at all. No creep or roughness. I tested it at a 6 1/4 lb pull. Personally prefer to keep my trigger pulls @ 5 lbs or under, but considering the results I am getting from this gun, I can't knock it too hard.

Other:

Noise is about what can be expected out of a CO2 pistol. Would like to run mine through a chronograph sometime, but other figures I have seen posted corroborate the factory velocity claims of ~435 FPS.

Verdict:

Not perfect, but a $50 gun that shoots this well and with the power it has definitely deserves a 5 star rating. A real bargain in my opinion!

bear with me for a lengthy review here,
This being my first pellet gun i was unsure what to expect when it arrived, that mixed with the low price made me doubtful over the quality of this product id be getting, well i was wrong. despite coming in a plastic clamshell packaging it's an incredible plinker with a great weight a nice feel to it, but like everything it is not without it faults. having put about 150 pellets through it i can list the following
Pros:
great weight (roughly 2 pounds)

good fps (about420)

good range

can hold 10 pellets(and more clips can be purchased if its reloading is not fast enough)

adjustable sights

rifling in barrel (accurate)

feels strong, durable

easy learning curve for new shooters, in one day i was able to constantly hit a small pill bottle from 30 ft away

loud, a nice bang per shot

mounting rail for sights,lights & etc

duel action or single action

easy to tell when it needs new co2, makes a pop rather than a loud bang and pellets curve


and of course price at a retail $40

Cons:

it's break barrel, however the button to press to get it to break is incredibly stiff on mine at first, which slows down shooting, and people with smaller hand might have trouble getting it to do so, no biggie, just takes time to break it in when its new.

co2 seeps out if not used for some time, even with pelgun oil, meaning if i don't use all of the co2 in one day and let in sit overnight the next day it's empty

the handle which comes apart to load the co2 is faulty, in that the clips that keep it on the gun are thin strips of plastic, but that is only an issue when taking them off, otherwise they feel solid

the tightening screw for the co2 has a small metal flap, allowing for a better grip when its tightened, however it is loose so when it is in the handle it rattles when ever the the gun is moved

All things considered its a pleasure to shoot, and very easy to pick up and use even for beginners like me.
with this though you'll need
Pelgun oil
.177 pellets (i use crossman wadcutters)
co2 cartridges
and maybe invest in extra clips so that reloading is a quicker process
hope this helps your decision on whether or not to purchase.

almost seems like the real thing if it wasnt for some of the plastic parts...fun to shoot...very accurate...very well put together...

Crossman has always made the best bb guns witnin the price range. This pistol has been a lot of fun. The efficiency of the co2 cartrige is much better than the ones made 20 years ago. the power range is much more consistant and the power is decent. I dont think a lot of people realize how much skill is required for pistol shooting though.

Don't get me wrong, I like the gun. Looks like my .357 magnum I used to have, but this one feels alot lighter (most part Plastic.)Accuracy wise, I can't get much better grouping than 3 1/2 " at 25',indoor, single action free hand. It got worst at double action, because the trigger pull seem to be a little longer. I get around 70 consistent (velocity) shots, then it drops off. Easy break barrel loading though the barrel lock looks fragile. You have to take off both sides of the handle to load the co2, this is due to the co2 holder screw being inside the handle, not sticking out. It comes with 2 speedloader.

I've owned so many pellet guns but none of em' shoots like this bad boy. Six inch rifled steel barrel, 10 shot rotary clip, 415+ fps,, what more do you expect from a pistol. This gun is totally awesome for its price ($50) and quality. This aint chinese crap, This gun is an american made revolver. Uses .177 cal pellets. I've used both gamo and crosman pointed pellets and its so far so good. I think you could use bb's aswell (please refer the crosman web site -www.crosman.com- for more information.), but i dont think it will give you good accuracy.Extremely accurate within 40-50 feet with pellets.Comes with only 1 rotary clip but you could order a 3 pack set from amazon for 10 bucks includes shipping i beleive. Just type in crosman 357 magazine in the search bar and you'll get the results.
Overall good gun for an awesome price. If your hobby is air guns, this is a must have.

I got this air gun for my boyfriend for Christmas and he hasn't stopped playing with it yet. I love the 10 round clips. Our other airgun loads one pellet at a time (it slows down the fun). I also bought extra clips so we can load them all and go! It is pretty accurate too! In short, I would say it was my boyfriend's favorite Christmas present!
