Things I liked:

I bought this here and I am very glad for the purchase. I really like the way it looks and feels. It is a good sized pistol and that seems to aid in the ability to aim better and get good grouping on the shots. I ordered extra clips which I highly suggest doing or you'll spend a lot of time loading. I loaded 6 clips, 3 w/ max penetration- 3 w/ max expansion Gamo pellets, took an empty 20 oz. can,(fairly thick aluminum), filled it with styrofoam, placed it about 35 ft. away and literally cut the can right in half before emptying my 4th clip. That was after sighting in the pistol's windage and elevation. I feel the following explains this gun well: Easy to insert and switch CO2 cartridges Once extra clips are filled, switching them is quick After sighting, it is accurate and consistent Rifled barrel and single/double action trigger Comfortable to hold, easy to sight and inexpensive

Things I would have changed:

I wouldn't change anything about this model.

Things I liked:

Looks

Things I would have changed:

Installing the CO-2 cartridge was difficult with the little screw tab to tighten. That Tab broke off for me.

What others should know:

Redesign how to tighten the CO-2 cartridge. The little handle does not allow enough purchase to tighten the CO-2 cartridge by hand and if you use a pliers it can easily break like mine did.

    Things I liked:

    It doesn't leak CO2.

    What others should know:

    Sometimes you get a misfire. You have to ensure the circular magazine is lined up for the next shot (if you can). I can't recommend this pistol.

    Things I liked:

    I like the metal trigger, the metal hammer and the fact that this is a double action revolver. This gun gets 80 shots from one CO2 cart.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would love to own a full metal version of this gun.

    What others should know:

    It has a rifles barrel, so don't shoot steel BBs. This gun is so efficient, that I can store mine with a CO2 capsule and it doesn't seem to leak no matter how long I let it set. That's unusual for a CO2 gun at any price range. I have one that is over a decade old and still runs like new

    Things I liked:

    It was cheap but seems to be fairly accurate and it has a rifled barrel and dual ammunition. I purchased some copper plated bbs so I wouldn't roach the rifling. It seems to work well with pellets and bbs. Won't really know until it stops snowing.

    Things I would have changed:

    I'd like to see a more positive magazine. The current production allows the mags to rotate both forward and backward. Also the mag for bbs allows some of the bbs to drop out. Otherwise it seems like a decent pistol.

    Things I liked:

    The price was right, it looked great! Felt really good in hand, was accurate out of the box, multiple shot capability..

    Things I would have changed:

    Redesign the mechanics for the ammo cartridges. Cheap plastic didn't hold up. After about 60 shots, new out of the box, they began to fail on me and I had to manually advance the cartridge to the next available pellet position. Sometimes it worked for consecutive shots... sometimes not. I was really disappointed because everything else was on point. I had to return it.

    What others should know:

    Cameron from customer support was very helpful and professional. I sent the gun back and quickly received a refund. I would have just asked for a replacement, however I found that it was not a good choice for what I originally purchased it for... small game/pest control. Hit several rats square on and it didn't take them out. It just made them squeal and run off. Not recommended for small game.

    Things I liked:

    Being able to fire multiple times up to ten pellet shots is so much better than the single shot pump pistol I had previously and which I have since returned to Pyramyd. Great balance.

    Things I would have changed:

    I ordered the three extra pellet cylinders. In one of them the pellets don't discharge. The fit is too tight. The plastic pistol grip feels cheap (you get what you pay for?) and doesn't always reattach securely after loading the CO2 cartridge. It will suddenly fall open in my hand. Securing the grip requires firm pressure all around. The trigger action is stiff and heavy requiring extra effort which in turn pulls the muzzle to the side. Cocking the hammer before firing alleviates this..and using two hands to aim. But this makes accurate successive firing difficult. I have short fingers.

    What others should know:

    I can't think of any on line store that I've shopped at that is as responsive, accomodating and helpful (and understanding in my case) as the folks at Pyramyd have been.

    Things I liked:

    Fo60$ I was surprised. The iron sights work well, I put some white out on the front sight, the contrast is great. I added a Defentac lazer and it makes it a totally different gun to shoot. Just shoot at the lazer no iron sights needed unless light conditions affect use of the lazer. It’s kind of big in the hand but is ok for me.? And I find it to be very accurate up to about 60 feet. I mainly bought for home defense. I figure I could hit you five times in the face very quickly. Hope I never have to do that.

    Things I would have changed:

    Smoother trigger

    What others should know:

    You can pay a whole lot more for a gun that doesn’t really perform any better.

    Things I liked:

    This gun is pretty easy to load use and refill. The accuracy is pretty good. It's one of my favorite guns to use. It's just rather large.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make it easier to add an optic to the gun

    What others should know:

    When refilling the CO2 of the handle, you must take off both pieces and fumble with the piercing mechanism, but it works rather well

    Another favorite gun to my collection. It fires fast and forward using. 10 round pellets in 10 chambers and they hit hard!! Co2 easy to refill in and out done! Bought 3 extra pellet magazines so I can just let go when I get home in my catch trap!

    Things I liked:

    It's ok, no where close to the old Crosman 357's they made back in my day... I bought it because I remember having them back 40 years or so ago... Back then they were powerhouses, now days they have half the power! I remember Rabbit, Squirrel, and Chipmunk hunting with this gun when I was a kid, these won't even go into a pellet tin at 10 yards now.. So I'm extremely disappointed, time and technology, is sposta "improve" guns, not take power away... But my daughter, and grandson likes it, so I guess that's all that matters... Still fun to shoot, even though hunting with it is not a option now unfortunately...

    Things I would have changed:

    Go back 30 to 40 years ago, and start making them exact guns again! Use to be able to smell the Co2 after each shot, and they had massive power, even kicked back then.... I believe they use to even get more shots per Co2, so I dunno what has changed, the Co2's or the gun.....

    What others should know:

    Iffen your old like me and remember the power of the gun back in the day, don't buy it now, you'll be very disappointed as I was...
    After saying that, iffen your younger, or don't have one of these back then, and wanna 10 yard paper puncher, then it's a great gun...
    But iffen you wanna 10 yard target gun I'd buy the Beemen P17 for half the price, and its a amazing gun, will shoot same hole groups @10 yards!

    Things I liked:

    Good feel in the hand. Enough weight to steady it. Easy to sight-in. I did 10 meters( about 35 feet) and hit tight (Quarter size) groups in the 10-ring after just a couple of adjustments. The clip is great, easy to load. Advise to push the pellet down a little just below surface. There's a bit of a detent that seems just right. Don't have a chrono, but the first 20 shots or so are hard hitting, and absolutely accurate. And it's a terrific value.

    Things I would have changed:

    Paint the sights! I did that myself, and it totally made it so much easier to sight the pistol. A little more info on best type of pellets to use. (I use the Crosman hollow points.)

    What others should know:

    The gun is on Amazon, but Amazon won't ship to certain states (I.m in WA). For no really valid reason. Pyramid does, but, of course, there is the shipping charge. I contacted Amazon customer service and voiced my displeasure at having to purchase the pistol elsewhere and pay a shipping charge. Amazon gave me a $5.00 courtesy credit.

    Things I liked:

    Very solid feeling gun,it has a pretty nice trigger better than most of the air pistols I've tried as of late. With in 7 yards the gin is very accurate, once you get beyond that it a little bit more difficult to keep accurate. The installation of a red dot really changed that for me,and is very accurate to 10 yards with a sighting device on it.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish they would color the front post white or some other color, if there was a way to make the co2 last just a little longer that would be nice. It eats them up for power in about 3 mags the 4th mag is just so so.

    What others should know:

    Pretty good little rat and small rodent remover within 10 yards .
