Very nice pistol with hefty weight and a great pistol to shoot. I like the fact that you can shoot pellets as well as BB,s.

Its a great CO2 Revolver we are having a great time shooting this Revolver its very accuracy and its very well made!

Its a very well made Revolver!!

Cheap, quality, accurate. Using RWS target (wadcutter) pellets, I was shooting dime sized groups off hand at 21'. This was using the "iron" sights which are fully adjustable I also like that it has the ability to add optics easily.

Getting the grips off is a little bit of a pain, but not too bad. I would make that easier. Also it would be great if it came with at lease two magazines for pellets and BB. (Right now it comes with one of each--buy extras)

You should buy this gun. It is great for plinking and target shooting. You get at least 60+ shots per co2 cartridge and it is a very quiet shooter. Basement and backyard friendly. It is super convenient to be able to shoot BB and pellets by only reloading the different included cylinder. Make sure you buy extra magazines (cheap) and load up before heading out.

Nice grip easy to shoot for my small hands

Two stage trigger. Comfortable grip. Two rails. Trusted manufacturer and dealer. Both BB and pellet. Break barrel. Semi-auto! 'Perfect 10' rnd clips which are dirt cheap; I preload and shoot 100 rounds at a time. Satisfactorily accurate for the money. Great value for 50 bucks!

Break barrel release is excessively stiff. Clips need constant attention to keep from falling out while the breach is open.

I absolutely adore this gun. I shot well
over a thousand rounds through it last summer and enjoyed it immensely. But not until I added a red dot with an adapter, then it was perfect. Mine never, jammed, misfired, or wore out. This is one hell of good time for under $50.

Great appearance, very nice weight, easy to load.

The grip : my fingers are not very long, so it is only the tip of my finger that contacts the trigger. I would prefer to curl the finger around the trigger up to the first joint for firmer control. A slightly narrower grip would do it. I also struggle to pop open the grip to insert the CO2 cartridge. This is my first air gun ever, so it could just be me.

This is well worth the cost, a great gun for the money !

Great lil co2 pistol very accurate and fun long as you do your part

Nothing I'm not an engineer...

Buy lots co2 and extra mags for shoot all day fun

Very realistic looking pistol, handles nice, easy to operate, holds the co2 pressure like no other and shoots accurate to the site. Well made, the best I have seen

make It out of all metal.

If you're familiar with todays airguns, you will appreciate the performance of this one, its straight forward, no surprises, I have shot nothing but pellets so far, and the accuracy is right on, I'm sure the bb side works ok, but it cannot be as accurate as the pellets. This pistol is a keeper.

I like this Revolver is greet

Light weight. Very easy to handle. I like the break barrel design.

Too much plastic. It losses the authenticity. Especially would replace plastic with metal for the screw grasp for the CO2 securing bolt.

This one requires small drop of Crosman 0241 Pellgun oil for each CO2 cartridge inserted.

Excellent for the price. Frame, trigger and internals are all metal. Accuracy is great at garage distances. The trigger pull is slightly gritty in DA at the beginning but the remaining travel is smooth and consistent. SA is short and crisp but I don't use it much other than checking zero. I've been using this as IDPA/USPSA practice in the garage during COVID times but will continue to do so after. The versatility of the BBs and Pellets is great. I use the copper-coated BBs. I won't mind if the rifling becomes slightly damaged over time since I am not using it for pinpoint accuracy; I am focused on cheap effective practice. Each CO2 cartridge gets 55-70 shots depending on the temperature outside. I seems to get more shots with the BBs than pellets before they start not making it thru the cardboard (that may also be because I am using lead-free wadcutters for indoor shooting).

Aftermarket grip options. The grips are pretty fat and since they envelope the back of the frame the trigger reach is long. I drilled and tapped a hole in the frame and 3D printed new grips that are thinner and don't cover the backstrap. Either provide some aftermarket options or drill and tap the frame in a couple places so people can easily make their own. I also added my own fiber optic sight (drilled a hole and cut a window for light) but that is personal preference and I did so to match the pistols I use for IDPA/USPSA.

The cylinder rotation is very quick in the DA pull, so if you have started your trigger pull and let go, the cylinder has already rotated and you will have skipped a pellet/BB when you pull again. Not too big of an issue though once you realize it.

Sturdy, fun to shoot, fairly accurate, overall nice little gun.

Labeled as a pellet/bb gun. Most would know that BB's screw up the rifling. A beginner would not. Wish site was fiber optic.

If you're thinking about a bargain-priced revolver, this is a fine gun. Packs enough of a wallop at over 400 fps, and is a lot of fun. DON'T use BB's with this gun!

This Vigilante is a great pistol! Good looking, very accurate (AFTER CAREFULLY SIGTING IN AT 18' OR SO) .. I started using pellets but the BBs fair accurate with this gun. I especially like the 'single-or-double' trigger choice almost always use the single. I like the break over and magazine design, very quick reloads ......... be sure to buy EXTRA co2 powerlets.

The 'double' action is a bit hard and slow ... I'd like to see a bit more detail on the cylinder even if it doesn't actually move. I'm not a BIG man but I don't have small hands, even so, the Grip is just a tiny bit BIG for me (I were a size large glove).

PA service and help are amazing, communication is great and returns/exchanges are fairly quick turnaround.
This Gun is a BLAST (no pun intended).

weapon looks nice and from a distance looks like a nice .357 or .44 mag.

The trigger pull, it needs to a lot softer, and improve the accuracy. The one that I have shoots 6" or so to the left even pulling the hammer back trigger is still too stiff.

enjoy it and practice.

Fun plinking, soda can accurate! No problem

Very large grips and I don't like the free wheeling of the clip which if touched can skip past rounds in the rotary clip.

Like the magazine loading. Purchase extra magazines. Added a holographic sight and painted the front sight white for improved aquisition

None, great air hand gun for the money.

Make sure to use safety glasses. Had a few pellets bounce back fairly hard.

Nice weight

Maybe the front sight should have a colored dot or fibre optic. Front sight is hard to see when aiming at darker colored objects/targets.

Really love the design, has a feeling like something out of the game Destiny or Cyberpunk / Blade Runner. But it doesnt End there, the weight and feel to it is awesome, its Very similar to the Umarex Broadax but a LOT more powerful, most shots average around the 420-430 mark which is super powerful for any 12gr charged Co2 pistol/revolver. Very accurate, although I had to paint on my own iron sights (they will come in black when you get them, so if you are going to be using this in low light situations I highly recommend doing the same. The break barrel design is nice and allows for easy maintenance and I really like how solid the mechanics are, they do not feel cheap or flimsy. I have tried multiple ammo types within the chamber and can tell you that I could not get it to misfire or miss a revolution while rotating the chamber, even with ammo that was not meant for it (do not try this at home). I have not attached any type of sight but it has rails on both the top and bottom.

I would definitely change the safety to something more in line with the Umarex Broadex which is ambidextrous and feels better. The safety on this firearm is simply a block that keeps the hammer from hitting the firing pin/piston. The barrel, At first I was hesitant about the barrel as it is free flowing within the forward receiver, however I soon realized this design allows it to have a proper fit with multiple ammo types and does not seem to effect the FPS of shots, you will always have a good seal. I would like to mention the feel when shooting pellets, you CANNOT use longer pellets such as the Red Fire / Powershot etc etc within this unless you shave down the pellet first which is not recommended as it your ammo will become less accurate and unstable making it DANGEROUS to shoot. I believe this firearm works best with heavier pellets, anything between 8 and 10 grains seem to have better accuracy and still punch through 1cm steel (!!!!)

Great buy, as usual it got here super quick and I could not be happier with my purchase, this one sticks with me by my dresser. I will always have it close by in case I have to go hunt some replicants (wink)
