Nice pistol and the nice thing about it all aspects of it work great. I like the way it feels and the double action is realistic.

nothing

Nice prices and very fast shipping.

This gun has a nice feel in your hands. It is not too costly to purchase or to shoot. It is a fun plinker or an accurate shooter at 10 yards. Easy to load the CO2 cartridges in.

The opening mechanism button was difficult to tell if you had pressed it enough to release it for loading.

When I was shooting this for the first time it was 45 degrees outside, it still performed fairly well. I kept the CO2 cartridges inside my coat to keep them warm. My advice it to buy extra clips for it, We were getting 40-60 shots per CO2 cartridge with still a fair amount of power. You also better stock up on pellets and CO2! We easily shot 300-350 pellets in just a few hours! It was fun to shoot. My finger started getting tired of pulling the trigger! For the price this gun is fun.

Everything! its fun to shoot. The co2 lasts about 50 shots and seems fairly accurate

nothing

buy extra clips and beware for backyard shooting it sounds loud. Kinda like a roofers nail gun. probably hear it for about a suburban block. sounds kinda like a 22. I got worried the police might get called when someone hears it and thinks its a real gun.

It feel's good performs good and loads easy,good looking gun function's good.

open sights are a little iffy as far as being able to shoot consistently,I think all pistols that are not scopeable should have the neon true glow sights.

Even though it has a very small rail on top that appears something could be mounted,I had no luck in finding anything that would fit.Find a red dot out there somewhere that will fit it,it need's a better sighting system.

The price is right. This is a well made item, and has not jammed so far. It is more accurate than I am. I much prefer this one over another revolver I own that cost more than 4 times the price of the vigilante, and jams frequently.

Nothing

For the money, you can't go wrong.

Gun is well balanced plenty of shots per co2 cartridge, loads easy good gun for the money.

They give us a short railing on top but advertise it as unscopeable.Everyone says you should be able to mount a red dot on that railing,but never can get an answer as to what will fit it that doesn't cost more than the gun did.

I found the open sights to very difficult to get a consistant aim point ,they just seem course or large not real accurrate.Really need a mount that will fit so as to mount red dot.

I looks and feels like a real gun. It's super accurate. has a lot of power.

Can't think of anything

A red dot scope makes it a lot more fun to shoot.

Excellent value for price. Nice feel, power and accuracy.

A little extra metal for weight.....

Nice addition to my collection......

Excellent pistol for for the price. Accurate enough for a repeater. 10 round clips work very well; just make sure and buy more!

Ease of getting grips off.

An excellent buy for the money; much more accurate than a Dan Wesson and lots of shots per Co2 cylinder.
Highly recommended!

its a nice gun and co2 will last I can get 8 clips before having to change the co2 I love this gun just with it was a little more accuracy

nouthing all in all its a good gun and I love to shoot it

the overall build quality. Great trigger pull

Don't know if it is possible, but would like more shots per co2 bottle

would be a good idea to get extra clips. They are very reasonable

I really like Pyramid airs exchange policy after I pitched the original packaging and found the gun had a leak! The accuracy is better than expected - shoots slightly to the left without adjusting sights/ The gun looks like the real thing!

There is some inconvenience in taking the handles off to engage the CO2 cylinder, I like to have the cylinder installed but not pierced - at all times. Just my quirk. An external thumb screw would detract from the realistic appearance.

Decent sights single action trigger is very good, good power and good use of co2, 10 round pellet magazine

the double action is finicky about fully releasing the trigger - a least mine is - and often doesnt revolve properly. Not as smooth as the original 357 crosman, cheaper build than the original. Drop the bb magazine, only holds 6, whats the point - would rather have two 10 shot pellet mags.

Its a fun airgun for plinking at around 15 yards to 20 yards and closer.

It's big and I like big pistols. Also, it was fairly accurate out of the box, however, I find the sights kind of narrow - nothing I wouldn't get used to though. It's pretty powerful, while not being very loud. The clips are easy to load and I haven't had a fail yet. In a pinch, easy to load, nice out-of-the-box accuracy and some power to boot - in an affordable package.

The grip panels. I have large hands, but they still feel exceedingly bulky and, well, ungainly. It doesn't help that I want to wrap my hand securely around the grip. The hook that holds the barrel-and-clip part; it could be sturdier. That's pretty minor though.

Remove the grips and use a piece of cloth/whatever. It feels better that way - or you could go to the lengths of having custom grips made.

Lead pellets will be stuck in the barrel at about the last 10-15 shots BE WARNED and have some sort of ramrod nearby - or use steel BBs.

It's also louder with steel BBs.

Oh, and don't ever slam it closed. The hook that holds the barrel part in place can and will loosen if abused.

Accuracy is very good up to about 30 feet with a 2" to 3" grouping, it feels good in the hand, and I like the ease of reloading.

The part that holds the break-barrel in place should be built a little sturdier, but if you don't abuse it then this gun will last a long time, I have had mine for some years.

Excellent value for the price.

I like the size, it fits my hands like a true revolver would. The single and double action is smooth as butter.

The accuracy on my gun is horrid, 12" groups at 20 feet with crosman pointed pellets. With bb's it's not even worth telling. The rifling is fine and the velocity is where it's supposed to be so maybe it's just bad, I guess that happens.

It is mostly plastic and isn't super sturdy and as I mentioned mine is inaccurate. Thought other reviews say different so take it with a pinch of salt.

The look and feel

The latch system could be better

For the price it is alot of fun and pretty accurate you won't be sorry.

Good fun gun, cheap enough, diggin the power

Loud, quite big, would love interchangeable barrels, a 4 or 2.5 inch barrel would blow my mind, i'd pay any money for one of those

Fans of the walking dead would be interested in knowing that Rick uses a Colt Python, cheap way to replicate

Accuracy, power, adjustable sights.

The faux design in the clip that doesn't align with pattern on the pistol.

I have had two of these pistols. The first one lasted from when I was in junior high school until I was in my 30s. The second is still shooting well. I will admit I take it out only sporadically. The more recent pistol isn't made quite at well as the first one I had, but it is still serviceable.

This gun is quite accurate and packs a decent punch. Having adjustable sites is fantastic. The option for a 10 shot clip, beyond the 6 shot stock clip, is very helpful.

You have to keep in mind that it is a pistol, not a rifle. While the range is shorter it is still ok for small game or pests.

This pistol has a break action barrel, after a while the mechanism that holds the barrel closed can wear out.

There is a push to release and close button, you should make sure to fully push the button not just swing the barrel open and closed. That said the pistol did last quite a while, probably through a bit of mishandling while I was a kid. I have had some really bad bb or pellet pistols; this one is pretty darn good, especially at the price. I honestly wish I could find an automatic looking pistol that performs as well as this.

This pistol is just plain fun to shoot. It may not be as accurate as my Beeman P17, but it holds 10 pellets and shoots them (when it's warm outside) just as fast as I can squeese the trigger. When I'm plinking like that, superb accuracy isn't my top priority. It's also a good option when I'm letting my 9 year old shoot with me-- he can focus on shooting/accuracy and isn't turned off by difficulties with pumping up a pneumatic.

Nothing.

I've been impressed with the number of shots I get per CO2 cartridge. On a recent 60 degree day I was able to get at least 70 shots at nearly full-strength.
