The pistol is fantastic - accurate,affordable and durable.

Finish options?

This is an excellent training tool for young shooters.

The feel in my hand and the wieght of gun.

Double action FUN!!!!!!!

Nothing

ITS kinda big so if you have small hands may be a problem.

Loading clips is easy,and extra clips are cheap. Adjustable rear sight is great for this price range. Accurate enough to easily hit tin cans at 40ft. Using Beeman Silver Bear 7.1 gr pellets, I was shooting 420fps and I get about 50 good shots before it drops off significantly. Very fun plinking gun. I like to use single action for accuracy, and a revolver seems more realistic with single action shooting.

Adding white dots to the rear sights(a dab of White Out)and maybe to the front will help with seeing the sight clearly. The grips do have some play to them, but once you fire off a few rounds you forget about it.

The grips and the entire barrel are synthetic(well the barrel has a steel sleeve), the frame,trigger,hammer and fake cylinder are all metal.
It is well made, and considering the price, is the best value for a revolver.

Good gun for this cost. Great power in action.

Change plastic barrel on a metal, and also fully rotating magazine, like on a real gun with inserts for pellets.

I love everything about this pistol. It is great, and it is fun.

I would want the gun to be more cost effective with the Co2. You'll be having so much fun with it that you go through Co2 cartridges quickly.

Great buy. Recommend 100% You get about 50 good shots per Co2, so stock up! Also, this gun loves Crosman wad cutters. You can get 500 for about $4 here at PyramydAir. I'm getting dime sized accuracy from mine from 5 yards at a rest. Now I know this isn't much, but its pretty good. I can hit a can from over 40 yards away free hand. Also, this gun is LOUD, especially in an open area. For some reason, the Co2 likes to echo. It makes it sound like a 1000+ FPS rifle.

Right out of the box the sights were right on target. I was flipping cans at 15 yards with ease. Even in very cold weather I still got the normal amount of shots and power. I like the feel of the gun and its realistic girth. The co2 is also very easy to load and does not waste any co2 while loading.

The only thing I would like to see would be that the barrel be solid metal instead of plastic with the metal barrel inside. But that is not a real problem at all.

The power is excellent but like any air tank powered gun it does lose power and accuracy as it gets low on air. But this is expected. This gun is very accurate and feels great in your hands. My grandfather liked it so much that he had me order him one to. I would recommend this gun to any one who wants an easy to use and fun action pistol. I ordered this gun on a Tuesday evening and received it on Friday of the same week!! Shipping was very fast. I also recommend that u get a tube of pelgun oil. It will really extend the life of your co2 air gun. Pyramid Air is by far the best online retailer of air guns and accessories. I am very satisfied with my purchase and will definately be buying again.

Powerful pistol 435 fp/s and accuracy 100% on 50 feet no problem, 70 shot in one load of CO2. his price really affordable. I just put a laser. really look like and feel like a real gun. i love this gun.

Crossman must look on this, some loose on his handle grip you can hear it in some movement. quite hard to replace the co2.

on his price really this is the most very good value gun to buy.power and accuracy lot of fun.

This was one of the first Co2 guns I have ever owned. I purchased it back in the early 80's, and everything still functions superbly. The paint is a little worn on the frame, and the grip panels were simulated wood ( plastic ). Accuracy and performance are still second to none!

An 80's price tag perhaps....

Because of the accuracy, durability, and price...this would make an ideal choice for a rifle back-up, or a stand alone pest / small game gun. Pyramid Air has 'em. This is a must have.

Good value for the money.

First has to be value, for the sale price of $50 bucks it is hard to beet. The revolver functions perfectly, and is very accurate. Love the 10 shot rotary clips, be sure to buy a few extras. (Lots of fun to shoot)

Probably better fitting grips, and a better adjustable rear sight, but then up goes the price. (Bottom line, Leave it alone and keep the price down)

I have shot match pistol (The real thing, not air guns) for many years, and this feels a lot like my S&W .22 cal, and .38 cal K frame Masterpieces, exeept for the weight. Really good for target practice in the garage, in between trips to the range, and a bunch less $$$$ to shoot.

I love the way it looks and feels the weight is that of a real gun

Nothing at all!

ease of operation,accuracy was better than expected for a double action airpistol,number of shots per magazine, accurate for almost 50 shots

Sight adjustment wouldn't stay set, had to use a thread lock on it.

Pretty good buy for the money and is fun for plinking.

Great, fairly realistic look, size and feel. 10 pallet capacity. Accurate. Double action. Good safety mechanism.

Rear sight is little loose. Finish is a cheap - no way around it... but that's what you paid for.

If you like shooting revolvers, it's a very fun to shoot gun. Great "bang for the buck". Shoots accurately with a new CO2 cartridge loaded. Gives about 70-80 shots per cartridge, with the last few (about 5) shots underpowered (lower point of impact). I tried various pallets - RWS mostly. Some tumble a little. Dome-type ones seem to be most stable and cut nice small holes... if it matters to you, and if you want to spend extra money for that type.

It's fun to shoot. Accuracy is fine for this level of gun. Easy for Wife/kids to shoot.

Don't like that the clips revolve when loaded. You can end up over an empty chamber.

It's just for fun.

Great fun and a great value gun! I was shooting Crosman Hunting .177 Cal, 7.4 Grains pointed ammo with fine results. Didn't take long to sight in, and then I was nailing those cans. The CO2 gives about 60 good strong shots.

I believe that 2 or 3 rotary pellet clips should be included rather than just one. I have been waiting for them to be in stock so I can order 9 more. Trigger is about adequate, but I wish I knew how to tune it up. The top break-open latch had some play when closed. I shimmed it with a little plastic and it locks up perfectly tight now with no free play.

Ten shot clip empties very fast. Need extra clips pre-loaded! I emptied 2 CO2 cartridges today and enjoyed the time shooting. Pointed pellets load easier than Destroyers do.

Good for the Price, Accuacy is good

Need a little more weight

dead on accurate, powerful, you cant get more for gun for the money! this and the daisy 008 are the best guns for under 150 bucks.

a all metal barrel.

buy extra clips, and paint the front blade sight for visability.

shoots great

more metal parts

The weight and feel is awsome. Looks like the real thing. With the three extra clips I bought it is a "fun gun'.

It would be better with a metal front barrel, but it really is not that bad.

For the money this is a GREAT buy!
