Page 20 - Crosman Vigilante Reviews

I have had the old model of this revolver for several years. I decided to get this one for three reasons, sight rail mounts, ergonomic grips, and low price. I put an inexpensive red dot sight on it and it works like a champ. I notice that others have had a problem with loose grips. Either I was lucky or Crosman has improved them because mine are nice and tight. Trigger pull is very good with single action and it is easy to hit soda cans at 25 yards with a two handed grip.

Nothing.

A couple of suggestions if you get this gun. Use a drop of Pelgun oil on the end of each co2 cartridge and then screw the cartridge in SLOWLY. I aim at the ground and dry fire to see if the cartridge is pierced. Once it is, don't tighten it any more. When you close the action after reloading don't snap it in to place. Push down on the release button and close it gently. This is the type of gun that should give you a lot of future shooting fun if you take care of it.

accuracy, grip feel.

the barrel half to metal, revolver cylinder is a crappy little wheel, how about a real drum? Its crossman! they could have done a little better. They are getting there slowly.

the grips do a good job of concealing the co2 screw but the plastic barrel and the wheel cylinder destroy the look of the gun, Its a great gun don't get me wrong.

the accuracy, the double action and weight. It feels so real in your hand and very, very powerful gun. I recommend this to everyone

the handle. I don't like it that you have to take each side of the handle off but other than that everything else is great

none

easy to load

include more clips not just one

cheap fun for plinking. good for safty instructions or for someone that wants to learn how to handle a real gun.

the mean look, power, accuracy

more durable grips, make the right half metal too

be careful if you open it up. i lost the hammer spring, but it only costs $1.50. Great gun for the money

first off i like the accuracy and the look and the ability to put a scope on it and how fast the time reload is and the power is good to this gun is just plain fun

the grips are not the most durable they can come loose over time but i have had it for 4 and a half years about and it still is a great gun

if you let the co2 get to low it will jam easily

all metal

metal hand grips

get alot of co2 and ammo! this gun is addicting to shoot!

the looks but the handle grips a bit to big

recess the inner pellet chamber 1/2 inch to make it more real looking and make the pellet clips better they are to loose in the hand gun

the gun has a 10 round mag wich i liike the acurcy is decient but the handel and shghts mr a bit to big but i can live w it. didnt like that the co2 cartrige only lasted about 8 mags

give it more power and make a versioon were u can cock the hamer for everyshot

its a very good gun for its price. i would recomend getting it.good for target shoting and good for beginer to exsperianced.

This gun balances very well and the 2 pound weight makes it feel real. The hammer and trigger are all metal and feel great. It Shoots about 50 pellets before noticing a reduction in accuracy and velocity. Great Price.

I woul make the latch for the break barrel out of metal as the gun that I have had the latch break and before it broke, it did not work very well. Also, I would make the handle grips where they do not feel so loose. They can fall off in unusual circumstances. The sights are blocky and almost to large for accuracy, they are also difficult to see as they are flat black.

The Hammer and Trigger as well as most of the internal parts are metal. The Entire outer shell of the barrel is plastic.

Probably the best action pistol that Crosman makes. As good as all the pistols manufactured by UMAREX. Very Accurate! What a fun gun for pistol practice. When the weather turns nice it will be good can killer. I bought this pistol after watching Paul Capello's review on Airgun Reporter.

Buy a small pair of pliers to release the powerlet cartridge. I can tighten the screw mechanism to install the powerlet. However, sometimes when I remove the powerlet I can't turn the screw mechanism, hence the pliers. I must be stronger in one direction than I am in the other.

The look and feel of the gun is good and there is quality in the workmanship. I bought extra magazines andput approximately 500 rounds through it and have not had any jams or misfires. I use Crosman pellets. Fun for shooting targets and aluminum cans - accuracy is good also.

Nothing - it's a great value for the price.

Buy extra magazines - you will need them.

Pretty heavy, feels like a real revolver.

Sights system should be better, lighter trigger pull is desired, grips should be able to lock tight.

My rear sights broke off after only a few times of use. The plastic part just came off.

This gun is a hoot to shoot! Its pretty darned accurate and easy to load the 10 round mag. Just a very high fun factor for a plinking gun.

Like others have said, the grips are loose feeling but for 50 bucks and everything else thats great about this pistol its not a deal breaker for me.

Pyramyd sells a 3-pak of extra mags for the gun. You might as well get at least one pack when you order the gun because you're gonna get em anyway when you start shooting this puppy and want to keep on shootin!!! 50 Bucks makes this a no-brainer! Get one!!!

The look and feel was great in my hands. The adjustable rear sight was necessary as they were off alot when I first shot, but after several pellets & adjustments, the accuracy was right on at 50 feet and a real pleasure to hit the target within an inch of where I wanted.

Plastic grips, make them more secure.

This gun is really great to shoot and can be very accurate when adjusted. The price was about $10. less then anywhere else I've found. For some reason unknown to me, the first shot with a fresh CO2, is low but then it gets back on target after that and lasts about 80 shots with a slow action.

Look and feel is great! Easy to operate. Trigger is nice in single action mode. Accuracy is pretty darn good!

A little better set of sights would make this gun super accurat, as it comes I had know problem killing drink cans at 20 yards off hand.

Gun comes with 1 ten round clip and I bought 6 more, thats not enough!!! Within 1 week I purchased 6 more. This gun is GREAT! If you are a wheel gun fan you need to buy one of these!!!!!

The Looks and feel, it's shooting accuracy and the fact you can buy extra clips for none stop action. My son loves it.

The grip covers, They are not like the first one I had as a kid, Many years ago.

sometimes it miss fires.

If Your looking to get the most bang for Your buck This is a good choice. Can't be beat for $50.00. It's not a tack driver but has pretty fair accuracy. I get about quarter size groups at ten meters off of a rest. And about 60 quality shots out of a CO2 cylinder.

A little better accuracy would be nice. But I know that would add a lot more to the cost.

First off this is a big gun. It fits in the hand rather nicely, the double action trigger is great, same amount of pull every time. as far as accuracy goes it's very good for a revolver. I have not put a scope on it or a laser sight as of yet. One thing I really did like is the safety you can look at it and not mistaken whether it's on or off,Overall this is a great gun for the money. and the fun factor is awesome

Nothing, If you changed too much you would not get it for fifty dollars

If you get this gun make sure you buy a lot of ammunition, Once you start shooting it, it's hard to put down.

The pistol is of solid construction and easy to load, easy to change gas cartridges. As many have mentioned, the grip panels are a little loose but once I start shooting it makes no difference. Frankly, I like that they come off so easily. Once you start shooting it's hard to stop because it's so much fun so I go through a lot of cartridges each session.

I have added white dots on the sights...

I get at least 50 shots per CO2. The accuracy is fine for me as we knock down cans, plastic bottles, action figures and small wooden blocks with ease from 20-25 feet away. I have used both heavy and light pellets, both worked well.
