Shoots both BB's and pellets. Nicely built and weight is similar to the real firearm.

A storage box like the 'Legends Air Pistols' box would be nice.

Feel and weight of the real gun. I like the cartridge loading.

Better feel of the trigger. Make it a tighter gun. Would like it to have higher FPS, maybe 800-1000 FPS In .117 cal

Have not tried any BB yet.

Feels great and shoots great. Lots of fun to plink with. Looks and feels like the real deal.

Can't think of a thing at the moment. Haven't had a chance to really run it through the ropes.

The overall look and feel are awesome and could pass for the real deal to the untrained eye. Almost free of sharp edges. I like the chamfer on the front of the cylinder. It will hit soda cans at 60 feet no problem. Fairly quiet, easy to load, and shoot.

I would get rid of the blister pack and supply the gun in an appropriate box. I would lighten the trigger pull, mine is fairly heavy. I would guesstimate about 6-7 lbs.

When I loaded mine for the time 3 out of 6 shells would not chamber. I tried some other shells and they fit. After shooting the first cylinder the problem disappeared. I also noticed the cylinder has a tight spot when cocking the gun and you can see scraping on the recoil shield. I think with some use it will wear in and be okay. I shot Hornady BB's, weight unknown, and RWS Basic 7.0 gr pellets. Accuracy was erratic due to high spreads in velocity. It was in the 50's when I was shooting so I didn't expect much velocity. BB's averaged 330 fps with a high of 392 fps and low of 252 fps. Pellets 7.0 gr averaged 280 fps with a high of 313 fps and low of 260 fps. The high spreads showed on the target right away with a vertical spread. I think this will improve after the gun is broken in. Overall, a nice, fun, gun to shoot and enjoy.

Pistol has a very nice feel and heft. For a smooth bore pistol is quite accurate, grouping BBs in a 2 inch or less group at 10 yards. And also groups the pellets well at that distance. Great can plinker. Feels and functions like the real revolver. Good shot count, with at least 70 good shots per 12 gm CO2 cartridge.

Nothing, all it needs is a good boom and recoil in the hand. Makes me wish I had the real deal.

Buy it, you will love it. Quite accurate for a smooth bore pistol, and a very nice replica to add to any collection. A great pistol, and well worth the purchase price.

Everything! The weight, feel, realism, shootability, & for a smoothbore it is pretty dang accurate too!!! I love this gun, a real joy to handle&shoot.

Give us a rifled barrel & an extra set of pellet shells to really get the hang of reloads & us old gun guys would just be tickled to death!!!

You can reload the pellets without removing the shells if you want & you do not want to keep firing once the air starts going down or you risk getting a round stuck in the barrel. Don't miss all the fun. Get one or 2 of these babies & have a blast !!!

Very nice good accuracy looks like the real thing

Itll make you smile !

This is a very nice looking pistol. Well balanced and accurate, as a plinker.

The cylinder. First, it feels unfinished compared with the rest of the gun. It thinks like a bell when the bolt locks up the cylinder. When you open the gate, the split cylinder design shatters the illusion. The loaded gun sounds like a handful of dimes when you shake it. The cylinder, when dismounted from the gun looks terrible. The finish on the cylinder is inferior to the rest of the piece.

The cylinder is removable by pressing the release button and pulling the cylinder pin towards the muzzle. You need to roll and jiggle it to get it out and back in, while pulling against the spring tension on the cylinder pin. This is difficult with no cartridges, and a circus act with them loaded. Crosman does not sell extra cylinders that I can find. Removing and replacing the cylinder with cartridges in it can be done, but you will not look cool like Clint Eastwood. More like a comedy routine. Even if you could get them, a couple of loaded cylinders on your belt and the loaded gun worn with jingly spurs would make you sound like a ghost dancer, or Santa. The umarex cylinders and cartridges are incompatible with this gun.

Works well fun to shoot

I like it just the way it is

Lots of fun

Great replica!

The looks, feel, accuracy.

I wish ALL OF YOU gun manufacturers would put your heads together and make interchangeable bullets. It's getting like the INSANE number of computer and printer transformer cables. STOP IT! I'm SICK AND TIRED of having to buy a bunch of different bullets for different guns. This is the LAST one, unless ya'll can get your sheet together and come up with a STANDARDIZED bullet. These aren't 45s, 38's, or 44-40's and there's NO reason for it!

Shoots very accurately with pellets. Not bad at all with BB's. I got 48 good, powerful shots with a CO2! (It helps to put some Peloil on a q tip to condition the rubber thingy's where the pellets go).

Looks great and feels good. But due to the weather I have not been able to shoot it yet.

Great gun fun to shoot and looks and feels like the real thing

Not a thing

Beautiful chromed finish. Wonderful weight and feel. Action is wonderful 4 click cocking. Shoots to point of aim with steel BBs and H&N smart-shot.

Rifled barrel so it shoots pellets accurately. More power so it shoots pellets more reliably. Better specced gaskets on pellet shells so it will feed reliably.

The trigger on my model is fairly heavy and has a lot of overtravel which takes some practice to control and not throw shots. My particular model will not shoot pellets reliably. The gaskets on the pellet shells (and BB shells for that matter) are too tight for the pellets to pass through. Depending on the type of pellet only half of them or less will fire through the gasket and even those are so weak that they will get stuck in a cardboard box. Most pellets that do fire wind up keyholing at only 6yds due to the smoothbore barrel. Mine shoots well with steel BBs and H&N copper coated smartshot. At 7yds I can keep most shots within a 2" target firing offhand. The BBs seem to have good power shredding a popcan no problem and punching through a cardboard backer afterwards. Overall I'm happy with the quality and accuracy using BBs. I just think its false advertising to say this pistol is dual ammo as it will not fire pellets reliably or with enough power to be useable.

looks good well made trhank you

nothing

Looks and feels like the powder burner.

From day one I kept getting jamming issues with BB and pellet cartridges. It's so frustrating.. 1 to 4 Jams per cylinder no matter what ammo I try. If it wasn't so anemic on power it might actually be able to function. Typical Crosman.. They finally make a trigger that doesn't suck, but put in a revolver that can't handle it's one job.. Shooting projectiles.

Obviously my experience is not the norm. Others seem to have excellent luck with it. I might try new cartridges or something. I love shooting it.. When it works.. Which hasn't happened yet. I feel awful having to say all of this about such a beautiful revolver.

Wow! This revolver knocked me out when i received it. The finish is superb and the weight and feel of the revolver feels really nice in my hands. Of the three cowboy guns this is by far my favorite with the Schofield 2nd followed by the Colt. I found the sights to be quite good considering my older eyes and the single action trigger is quite good. Not having done much shooting of any kind for a long time it was interesting how heavy and real the revolver feels when your holding it out in front of you. I may buy a second so that i can get a belt for two revolvers. By all means order the 25 extra shells for this revolver. I like the feel of the cartridges as they fall into my hand and then loading the new ones into the cylinder. It's a fun gun and the trigger made accurate shooting possible once my arms stopped shaking from holding this big pistol . It's my favorite revolver. My accuracy rating is based on my limited experience so far but i'm very pleased at the results i'm getting.

As mentioned a million times here the package it came in was a crime against this really nice revolver. It should come in a nice box but alas the bean counters must have decided to save a few bucks and cheap out. Wooden grips would be nice.

I found the cartridges for the BB's to be irregular in holding power for the BB's. I have only used the Smart Shot so i'm not sure if this problem will persist with regular steel BB's . The rubber insert at the back of the cartridge is not as thick on some so the BB sort of falls in and can fall out. I plan to contact Pyramyd about replacements. I also found that its' fairly easy to load the pellets into the cartridges while still in the cylinder but i also enjoyed the act of holding the revolver is such a way as to allow the cartridges to fall out of the cylinder into the palm of my hand. As far as accuracy i have only had one session of one powerlet. From a rest it is remarkable accurate with what i shot. I used the smart shot for the BB test and Premier Wad-cutters for the .177 . The pellets easily out shot the smart shot in terms of grouping but had a quirky habit of throwing a couple of shots out high and to the right where as the rest of the shots grouped a tad to the left

Accurate detailing and price.

Nothing.

Great for plicking, displaying, costume prop/role playing.

Are you kidding ? You need people to write a reveiw on this fantastic product. Just lookat it . It has beautiful plating and excelent quality . The mechanism works perfectly. Oh I just like it to death . What else can I say.

I would not change a thing.

If you want quality at a reasonable price, shop at pyramyd air., and yes I assure you that I am a real customer.

I have a new respect for those who had to carry them and aim quickly, the weight of the gun matches what I remember from an reenactment I attended. This replica is well made and I find it very accurate. I

I like how the gas cylinder is in the handle. I had a Navy style pellet gun by Crosman a few years ago and the placement of the gas cylinder made that gun's appearance odd looking.

found the BBs worked in either style cartridge holder. Did not try the .177 pellets in the BB cartridge though
