Page 21 - Crosman Vigilante Reviews

Very accurate. 10 shot clip, Balance feels good. Fun for casual shooting.

The grips seem to be the major complaint which I have to agee with. Crosman hides the powerlet but their grips tend to be lose. Seems this way with all four Crosmans I own.

One great air pistol. Super accurate, smooth trigger when the hammer is cocked. Love the 10 shot clip, buy the extras as you can easily get 50 shots out of the powerlet. Balance for a none target pistol is great. Mounted a red dot sight and it is almost impossible to miss at 30-50 ft.. Not super powerful so I can safely shoot it in the basement. Not all that loud either so shooting out doors isn't drawing a lot of attention. I thought it was going to be too large for my small hands but the grip fits fine. This turned out to be one fun gun to shoot for targets and casual plinking. Great gun!

This is my first pellet pistol, and in my opinion it was worth the wait. The pistol is light and accurate. The CO2 lasted longer than everybody has said so far. The first three rounds are a little high, but then the next 50-70 rounds are pretty consistent after that it starts to drop off. I shoot the cheapest pellets I can find, and at 10 yards I can keep a 3/8 in group (using a sandbag) and an average of a 1 1/4in standing (all ten rounds).

The plastic handles are not the best, and will pinch you if you are not careful. They also need to make a speed loader for it the clips take a while to load. Shipping could have been a little faster.

Buy extra pellets you run through them fast. Make sure you do not grab the handles to snap them back together.Using the thumb and first finger worked the best for me. Also make sure the nut for the CO2 is flipped to the side otherwise the handle will fall off. Buy a couple extra clips it only comes with one.

I really liked the feel of this gun. It has some realistic heft to it which gives it a nice stable character when firing. The aim on mine was fairly true and needed little adjustment. Some air pistols of this price range usually have a trigger that I gringe at every time I pull the it. Not this gun. The trigger has a relitively short travel and isn't gritty or sticky. I would say the fps rating is about spot on. I shot a few hunderd wad cutters at a 10M target and the holes were pretty clean. The clips are one of my favorite parts of this gun. 10 shots! Buy a few extra before you check out, you'll be glad you did as this will fire as fast as yo can pull the trigger. You can store the extra clips in an empty pellet tin!

Although most of the gun is nice and solid, I'm not a huge fan of the grips. Though comfortable, they are plastic and both have to come off to replace the Co2. Not a great big deal but just sort of a personal thing.

As I said above, get extra clips. This gun will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger and nobody likes to spend half the time loading. Don't judge the accuracy of this gun, o any for that matter, until you've put a few tins of pellets through it. Like any good relationship, the pellets and the gun need time to get to know one another

Lots of bang for a litttle buck. Reasonably accurate with nice power. Full metal (except for the handle casing which is plastic)

The Co2 holder in the handle makes noise because of a lose part. It doesn't pose any danger at all. It just clicks and it's annoying sometimes..

I got little puny fingers and the trigger's a bit heavy and the hammer was hard to pull back at first

Price, Single/Double action, Power, Fun factor

Make it a bit quieter. Include more than one mag. I liked the older version with the fake wood grips better.

This gun is a lot of fun to shoot and is pretty accurate. Its a great choice for plinking and backyard target shooting. Not for small hands though. I am a big guy and the grips are huge in my hands.

it's cheap, the look is nice, and it has decent power. what is there to not like about this gun? my hands are big so i like that the grip is a good fit for me too. i can wrap my hand around it nicely.

the plastic handle where the co2 tank is placed. i dont know about other guns, but since the day i got it, it's been loose and shaky. i recommend for the people that have this same problem to just wrap tape around it, and replace the tape every time you need to change the c02 tank.

this gun is fairly heavy. it's not light. it would be hard to shoot with one hand, because the trigger is hard and it's actually a pretty big gun.

when i first got the gun it was everything i expected. it has a metal gear box and a very strong plastic barrel. the gun is great to have and is only 50 dollar which i a fair price. this gun looks real and feels it too.

the handle on the gun is plastic and you need to take off both side of the handle to put the c02 tank in there, when i put the pieces back on there it was a little lose but overall stil sturdy, dont let this stop you from buying the gun its stil amazing and a great handgun

buy this gun for the money its great to have.

Everything. Hits HARD. Doesn't jam. Single & Double Action. Low price. Accurate.

Nothing. Maybe a smaller version for youths.

This is a big pistol, not for kids. I have shot several different type pellets and never had any jams. This is a powerful pistol, especially when using lightweight pellets like PBA Raptors. Powerlet is easy to load. Very accurate. I have LOTS of airguns and I'm very satisfied with this pistol. This is the best deal out there for a co2 pellet pistol.

The price! Surprising accuracy (I get 3/8" groups at 15' using a rest). Surprising power. Surprising build quality. Just a couple tidbits you might not pick up from reading these helpful reviews. Most of this gun is some plastic polymer. The steel barrel is a fairly thin walled cylinder free floating in a plastic barrel housing. The rail above the barrel has a groove to accept dovetail mounts. The action, trigger and hammer are a steel unit that fits in a surrounding plastic mold, part of which is shaped like a cylinder. This is a solid piece, the cylinder does not rotate, just the 10 round magazine sitting in front of the cylinder rotates. The fake cylinder is the only part that gives the gun a "toy" look. Now.... to those complaining about the grips, GET A GRIP! A set of wood grips costs more than this gun! This thing is an absolute marvel selling for under $50 and the grips are nice! They are not sloppy, at least when new. The trigger is firm but crisp. The adjustable rear sight is functional.

Absolutely nothing. I'm amazed they can produce these for under $50.

Just get one. If you don't like it you don't like guns. Make it two and be amazed at what under $50 buys from Crosman.

VERY accurate for what it is, 1/2" group of 6 wadcutters at 20 feet! i can't complain about that, and i'm not the best shooter. i only used one type of pellet so far, so it could get better! EXCELENT trigger, way better than expected, very light double-action and even lighter single action, tiny tiny bit of creep. SIGHTS are pretty darn good, nothing crazy like hi-viz, just plain old good sights and they're adjustable for elevation AND windage! 10 ROUNDS is awesome capacity for a pellet pistol.

the grips are fine for me and most adults, but kids or people with small hands will have a hard time holding it comfortably.

i am extremely happy with this gun, and for only $50, what a treat! DEFINATELY buy the extra pellet cylinders, they come in packs of three. i'm happy with the 3 extra i bought but i would have been happier with 6, and for like $5 they're well worth it.

great gun looks way better in person gotta see it shots pretty good nice groupings

a little to much abs and not enough metal but for 50 bucks its a great deal

get the extra clips your gonna want to shot this gun all day very fun!!!

the looks of this gun are unparalleled by most other guns, it looks and feels very nice in your hand. I also like the sound the gun makes, the pop is a nice sound to hear. The sights are easy to alter only requiring a small screwdriver.

Better hand grips, they're plastic but they definitely do their job and aren't bad.

This is a great value and an awesome gun from Crosman, i would recommend this gun, its just plain fun to shoot!

nice accuracy out of the box. i like the revolver clips. they are easy to load and decently sturdy. great price!!!!!!

the grips.... they're plastic and uncomfortable.

definetly the best value i have found in a long time.

Feels pretty sturdy and is accurate out of the box. This is my first pellet gun/pistol, but I found it to be very easy to use and am satisfied with it. I have no previous purchases to compare it to, but I feel like my money was well spent.

Better quality grips (cheap plastic that might break eventually...but they get the job done), slightly better accuracy (perhaps it's just me, though)

I'm new to this, so I'd say it's good for beginners (or maybe for anyone, really).

What can I say, this is a great air pistol. Very powerful, 10 shot magazine (wow!) and looks realistic. Very accurate, too. And pretty light on the CO2 use.

You have to take off BOTH hand grips to load a CO2 powerlet, but at least once the grips are on you can't see the tightener.

This is the most powerful .177 multi-shot air pistol I have ever used. Personally, its not as comfortable to hold and shoot as some other pistols I've used. If your main desire is power in a .177 multi-shot air pistol, then this is the one you should buy.

Big and heavy. I have fired an actual Colt Python and other than the grip it feels like the real thing. Great value for the money.

Trigger has a lot of slack, tough to determine when the hammer is going to fall.

For some reason this gun does not like hunter pellets. Every time I use them they get stuck in the clip. Pointed pellets by crosman are the best I have tried so far. Accuracy outside 20 ft is abysmal, but then again, distance is not what a gun like this is designed for.

BIG, heavy enough, accurate and the best built $50 gun you will buy.

Lots of complaints about the grips but I have shot 300 rounds or so thru it and no problems yet.

Great fun gun - get the extra magazines for it and you are ready to go. Been shooting crosman pointed pellets and it likes them.

I like the feel of this pellet gun and it is nicely accurate. I like the fact that you can cock it by the trigger,very nice. Comes with 2 10-shot clips as well,nice!

I didnt like the polymer plastic from the back of the barrel where the clip is to the front of the barrel where the front sight is. The rest of it was metal accept for the 2 plastic grip halves they are plastic as well,lol! The actual barrel is steel,just casing around barrel is weak plastic.

nothing,i recommend this one as well!

Well worth today's dollars. Heavy enough to feel like firearm. Pretty accurate. In general, well engineered. Sights, although plastic, are pretty good. has "real gun" feel. Trigger pull, though somewhat heavy, is good.

Grip attachment is poor design. A little metal in that area would go a long way.

It doesn't know when it is out of pellets. Of you don't keep up with count, you can shoot your CO2 up with no pellets in gun. Needs some type of "empty" stop.

Nice looking gun and fun to shoot. Liked the triger and hammer. Very powerful and accurate. Good gun altogether

As mentioned the grips are a little weakly attached.

If your looking for a gun that fun and economical this is the one for you. It doesn't shoot really fast but the gun makes up for it in fun. Have fun shooting
