Everything about this gun is cool unless you need a smaller size gun. But I just bought a small gun too and have fun with the accuracy of this one.

nothing

get the extra magazines in the 3 pack

I Have had this gun for about eight weeks now and so far I am very pleased with the accuracy and functionality of this gun. It performs just as good if now better than the more expensive than the Smith & Dan Wesson's. It does what it say it does.

Nothing because it would increase the price of the gun.

Great Value and Performance.

Adjustable sights and a 10 shot magazine with a rifled barrel... What's not to like? Accuracy at a bargain!

This gun is powerful and accurate. It keeps me in practice for my regular handguns during the winter and costs less to shoot. I have not tried any laser sights on this yet but the adjustable sights are very accurate. I wuould have given this a 5 star rating except for the problems I had with the BB cartridge. (see below)

I kept having problems with the bb cartridge. BB's kept falling out of the cartridge. Then I remembered the H&N round lead balls that I had purchased before for another gun. I tried these and they fit perfectly in the cartridge and also seem to have more power. These are the 4.45 8.2 grain and I have no problems with these in this weapon.

I don't know if you are supposed to use the lead balls in this gun but I have had no problems and have had improved accuracy using these

Nice feel in the hand; great, and consistent shooter; I get a good 70-80 shots from one CO2 cartridge at around 70-degree ambient temperature in my indoor range.

Maybe a little softer spring under the barrel-to-frame latch. I practically need to stand on the release button in order to open the gun for reloading.

Buy a couple extra packs of pellet-clips, many cans of pellets, and get the 40-unit boxes of CO2 cartridges, 'cause this is a really fun gun to shoot.

Take a fine file and deburr the barrel-frame latch, and slightly round off the top corners of the latch, itself. The latch is steel, and the latch retainer is part of the barrel assembly which is plastic. If not deburred, the sharp steel chews pretty hard into the plastic, and may eventually allow a loose hook-up between barrel and frame. If I had had one of these when I was a kid, my home county would have sunken from the weight of expended pellets. Like I said... this is a FUN to shoot gun.:-)

The weight feels good, over all it feels great to hold.

I would upgrade the hammer and guts of it, they are just not up to par.

After about 50 feet the aim is way off.

Fully adjustable rear sights, double/single action, looks impressive rather than toyish. Great for plinking/target shooting. The pellet chamber is excellent, but pellets will pop out a bit if stored in it for longer than 2 days.

The grips are low quality- you can feel them flex and hear them creak when you grip the gun.

The BB chamber doesn't seem to work. You shouldn't shoot this gun at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit/4.44 Celsius. The gun is something like half plastic, but most of that plastic is well done/nice.

This is a great value and the gun really feels great in the hand. I'm a revolver guy at heart and this really fills that void better than most models can. This has quickly become a favorite with the kids. The double action trigger pull isn't too heavy for them like some of the other guns they've tried. I bought it to shoot pellets out of but I've quickly changed to preferring the 6 shot BB clips. These are much easier and quicker to load and just as accurate. Don't get me wrong, the pellet clips are fun too and offer 10 shots. But there is nothing like a classic 6 shooter when you are talking about a revolver. I just wish someone would make a colt 1873 replica again.

The grips seem prone to breakage because they are only held on with some thin plastic clips. I haven't had any problems with them but time will tell. Everything else is great.

Be sure to buy additional pellet and BB clips. You aren't going to want to put this thing down. I get about 70 good shots from a CO2 cartridge which is perfect for the amount of shooting I do.

We like everything so far. My daughter and I love to shoot this gun. 8 shot semi-auto is great to have.

Try it. Price is right for sure. I think you will like it.

This pistol is a 10 shot pellet repeater vs. 8 or 6 shots from most of the other brands. As far as I know this is the exact same gun as crosmans 357 model. Except it has an upper and lower rail to add a red dot and or a laser sight. This is why I chose the vigilante over the 357 model. Cause I'm a red dot/scope junkie. If I have a gun with a rail on it 9/10 times it has either a red dot or scope mounted on it. This pistol has a rifled barrel, and there for excellent accuracy. From a bench rest at 50' I've shot 10 shot groups as small as 1.25" using crosman destroyers, or crosman premier hollow points. Great for plinking soda cans up to 60' or so. I get 70 full power shots from one co2 cartridge. The single action is really smooth, and easy to stay on target. For a $55.00 pistol, what's not to like!

The double action of this pistol isn't the smoothest, but again for a $55 dollar gun, you really can't complain. I shoot mostly single action anyway for the better accuracy.

A heck of a lot cheaper than shooting .38spl. or .357mags all day. (.22lr. even) If your a real life revolver shooter, like myself. This pistol is a no brainer. Buy it you'll like it! Don't forget to buy an extra 3pk. of ten round clips for $5.95. There worth every penny. DON'T TREAD ON ME!

Looks good, feels good, very accurate.

nothing

Be safe and shoot straight.

Holds co2 for many shots and it also is very accurate out of the box!!

Nothing

This gun is AMAZING!!!!

Pretty much ALL this one offers.This is my 3rd 357 I like this one almost as much as my trusty old all metal 8" barrel one from the 80's.It hits hard,it shoots strait and its pretty easy on the co2's. And catch a Pyramyd's super sale price it's a no brainer...

The one thing I would love to see, is the "shooters kit" option with 4" and 8" barrels like they had way back when..

Very precise shooting. Fun to shoot.

Feels like a toy. To much plastic. No concern on looking real.

Would of liked a full metal gun with turning barel like Sam Wesson revolver but that shoots pellets like this one. This is meant as a first time shooters gun and it fills that part very well. One of the more precise gun I have.

This is my first pellet/BB gun...always had airsoft guns before. I'm impressed by the accuracy and how well it works...considering the price.

There are obvious concessions..seam lines, lots of non-metal parts. But to change those things would increase the price so I would say...leave it alone.

Good, inexpensive way to try out a pellet/BB gun.

Cost,looks and feel.

White dot front sight. Better latch system. One piece grip. 2 halves are hard to work.

Hard to open to load. The latch is metal against plastic.
Oil and file down the latch just a bit. Be sure to hold down the release when you close to cut down the wear on the plastic.

It is a lot of fun. It also looks pretty realistic, certainly from a distance. I enjoy plinking with this gun, it's not too powerful but since it's a target shooting pistol I really don't think it matters.

I don't get very good accuracy, the best I've gotten is 2-3 inch groups from 10 yards, but it is an inexpensive plinking pistol after all.

It doesn't shoot very well in the cold. It is a lot of fun to shoot double action. I get around 70 shots per CO2 cartridge, don't forget to order Pellgun oil with it.

Excellent gun. Fantastic price. This gun shoots excellent and is very accurate. I have put over 500 rounds through this gun with no problems. A very fun gun to shoot. I highly recommend it.

Nothing

Excellent gun for the price.

This is a MUST HAVE absolutely great gun tons of reviews on youtube they all agree its a fun great must have.

probably the grip and encourage to use more metal.

this is just a must buy you cant go wrong

excellent. the special with extras was well worth it.
