Crosman .357 Magnum CO2 Air Pistol

I have been a fan of Crossman products since I was a young man raised on our farm in NE Nebraska. My Crossman 357 has been so dependable I have just ordered another pistol from BudK. I just took my tried and true c-man .357 out 2 days ago, I have had this for over 23 years, YES you read that correctly! If nothing else it Shoots better now than it did brand new! This is the exact same gun except for a few cosmetic changes. Mine has a golden trigger and it does NOT have the under barrel mount for a flashlight/Laser/Red Dot finder. I have out shot pistols costing over 3 times as much as this, after the shoot I had several members ask me where they could get one! The Weight and Balance of these feel just like the real thing. Make sure and order more of the ammo cylinders for it, you will be glad you did. This is also pretty easy on the gas. much more so than my CO2 rifle. These are exceptionally powerful and get more accurate after you put a couple thousand rounds through it. I can put 5 shots in a nickle sized circle at 25 feet! On a fresh CO2 Cart it still fires over 415 fps on a crono, if you use Sig Pellets it jumps up to 429 fps!!! The later arent as tight so fire faster. I have found accuracy isn't quite as good as my premo pellets but still better than most co2 pistols. Take very good care of this gun and it will last for years. I always clean it with my .17 HMR cleaning kit, swab the barrel with Rem Oil, I also do not leave a COT cart. seated long term. I fire it for a couple days until it is about of gas then unscrew the CO2 and put a lite ring of quality gun oil on the seals, and put a lite coat of Rem oil on the whole pistol. I guarantee you will not be anything but 100% tickled to death with this pistol. Easily punches through a soup can. I hope Crossman never retires this model. If I hear of it I will buy 2 to make sure I have one for the rest of my life.

Looks good.has good weight to it.the down side is the magazines fit very loosely.when trying to shoot pellets they don't always shoot.they get bent against the barrel because the magazines are loose fitting.i will use a rubber washer or something to snug it up a bit.it does have good power and shoots bbs just fine

It's the famous Crosman Vigilante... 10 shots of 177 pellets. This gun actually shoots much further than demonstrated in the video. I added a Bushnell 1 X 40 red dot and it friggin awesome.... ! Buy some extra clips and be sure to use Umarex High-Grade 17 gr CO2 cartridges.,,,, and clean the bore after each use. You can't go wrong..... I only wish that Crosman would make like an 8 shot, 22 cal. pellet version of this gun.

Love this gun, great for the price, great shooting. Went through tons of pellets with this, very fun to shoot. Definitely Recommend this. Love Budk, best Website around.

This pistol is so cool, and that is straight out of the box. It fires spot on! I went to Crosman and bought 13 extra pellet clips, what a blast we have firing 130 rounds at a time! Just yesterday I put 7 rounds in a silver dollar bullseye at 20 yards. I kid you not! ! If you want to have fun at a great price, buy one from BUDK today.

as soon as I picked this pistol up I started to shoot 2liters ha

This pistol has a nice weight, easy to load and very accurate. It is also easyto change cylinders from BB to pellets.

Just got this Gun. What a great pistol. Shoots great. I don't plan on shooting BB'S. I think I will shoot pellets only. Real acerate right out of the box. hard to beat for the price.

Very accurate, very sturdy, if you are looking for a great pellet gun you won't be disappointed.

You know what? For an adult, this is a toy, granted it can do some damage on small game, like squirrels, and it has a sturdy and heavy, solid feel to it...but the fact here is that it is not a threat stopper, not much of a concealed carry either, it is perfect for shooting practice, and to get your joints ready for when you buy a real gun, and that's about it. Have fun!

This is a Great gun, It looks and feels like the real one. I put a scope on it and it was set up right away. The price was great too. I had a friend make me wood pads on it so it looks like my real 45.

This pistol has the look and feel of a real pistol at a great price. I like the double action and the adjustable sights. I have shot about 100 pellets thru it and it shoots good. I have not shot any BBs thru it.

I bought this for plinking and varmits. Now My 2 Sons-in-law and grandson want it. But now I don't have to worry about what to get them for their birthdays coming up soon. Everyone was greatly impressed with the feel, look and accuracy of this gun.

...make my day! Although the product video is for the older model, they're basically the same (I have owned both) except the Vigilante has a top/bottom rail. It's a great affordable C02 pistol/revolver. However..I would not sleep with it under my pillow nor rely on it for any self/home defense purposes as others stated. It does look real enough to scare an intruder off but in the dark that won't matter, don't become a statistic and buy an actual firearm. And if the BB's are falling out of the clip your using the wrong clip and besides..with a rifled barrel you should really only be shooting pellets through it anyway. Happy shooting!

Great gun, I have at least 7 co2 pistols and I love this one, big and powerful, looks just my Dan Wesson .44 Magnum. easy to load,,feels good in your hand, best Co2. Going to buy one for my son..

This revolver is great, shots a regular sized pellet and takes regular cans of co2 10 shots till your out and it packs a punch.

Come on who doesn't want a double action revolver. This is a great buy for anyone one.

This revolver is amazing. You can shoot both BBs and pellets out of it and it is very efficient with CO2 I usually get between 50 and 70 shots per cartridge, works great both single and double action and totally worth the price

I love this gun its light and when you get the light site for the end of it it makes it so much better

This is a great pellet gun and the price is excellent

amazing for the price, unlike others though i had to do some adjustments to the sights to get it to shoot right where i was aiming, but it was easy with a small flat head screwdriver, after that it impacts perfectly where you aim it

This pellet gun is nothing short of fantastic. Powerful & pretty d**n accurate right out of the box. The grips do leave a little to be desired, but you can easily live with them. I can get about 100 shots from 1 c02 cartridge, which i think is pretty decent. I keep the pistol bedside for in home protection, target practice and general shooting. Highly recommended.

wow....is the only way i can describe this pistol.... i would rank it as good or better than any .22 i have ever shot..just fantastic !! there is only one drawback ....and that is all on me... i have little hands and it is difficult to shoot double action... but single action is SUPER FINE JIM DANDY.... i love it so much it is under my pillow every night... i sleep like a baby now...... thank you for having such a fine piece for sale... God bless all

Excellent, much better then I expected.

excellent look feel power and accurate i average 80 shots on 1 co2 just got 2nd one from budk.

deadly accurate at close range, get your self extra mags . other than the crummy grips/ attachment. worth every penny

This was a great purchase! Works wonderfully and shoots great! I definitely recommend it. This should be worth $79 to $93. Go big or go home.

this is a great gun for target practice or hunting small game. i killed a squirrel with one shot from about 12 yards. ther squirrel ran about 7 yards and dropped dead. if your looking for a cheap gun that you can have fun with this the gun.

Hi just bought this revolver and I can tell you it is one of the best pellet guns I have bought. You rifled barrel makes it super accurate and it is just fun to shoot. I totally recommend this crosman gun to anybody.

ITS A GOOD BUY. FUN, CHEAP & COOL! I FEEL LIKE DIRTY HARRY.

This gun is incredible its even better than my twenty-two. P.S. The better rating would be fifty stars not five.

Looks great, Feels great in your hand, Excellent weight. FPS is a true 435.Co2 doesn't last as long as my other guns , so get extra mags and your in business.With 4 loaded mags. you can get maybe 100 shots off . Excellent price. As always...Thanks Budk.

Great gun,very accurate.This gun is worth every penny,especially if you like taking out targets dead on! 5 Stars.

As soon as I got this I went in the back yard to shoot full pop cans. Standing about 25 feet away it went into and out of 2 full cans and dented the third. I had a problem with a possum and with 3 shots no more problem. I advised to get the pointed pellets if trying to get rid of any problems.

This air soft gun is extremely accurate but to sugar coat it I put a 30x10 zoom scope on it from a pellet rifle. Shooting comps with friends has never been more fun. Purchase a lot of co2s though I burned through mine in just 3 days with left over pack of pellets.

A few weeks after I got this a man came to mug me I knew he was then I pulled this bad boy on him and he thought it was a .357 and he ran faster than anyone I've ever seen.

i love this gun and its 1/4 of the price of the s&w that is on this site &it shoots harder i love it

As an update to my previous review, still a 5-star product! Takes one well aimed shot to kill a Rabbit at ~10yards. (Great Easter Breakfast)

I have 3 CO2 pistols and this one is by far the best. The other 2 are the Defender and the Military and Police. Both of them are smooth bores and only fire BBs. They do not have adjustable sights or rifling. The .357 has a rifled barrel, adjustable sights, and fires .177 cal pellets. It is much more accurate and powerful and though it's hard to believe on a gun in this price range, it has an -excellent- trigger pull in both single action and double action. I bought 8 more cylindrical magazines from Crossman for $1.15 each. I highly recommend this gun.

This gun is huge thought it would be a little smaller but still love but haven't shot it yet tried to in my back yard but u have to use the co2 without it i guess u cant fire but ill get it maybe i didn't read it carefully maybe i'm not right i'll read it again but thanks budk.

Full size of a .357 magnum and about 85% of the weight with a full CO2 cartridge. Tons of fun to shoot and even fits well in larger hands. Accurate to about 50 feet. Definitely worth the money and great representation of the .357 design

Really nice gun for the money. Buy extra wheels for the pellets and you can have some shooting fun. It shoots a good distance and is quite accurate.

I need it for protection. I live alone in a State where you have no rights to bear arms

Nice gun for the money, tried to site it in from my bench rest, the best I could get was a 6" group at 20'.

Its a kool gun but the BB's fall out of the cylinder before you shoot them,but the pellets stay in,,but again the BB's just fall out of the sides...be careful

I bought this gun to replace my old one (over 20 years old) which finally gave out. The new model doesn't feel quite as solid as the old one and the grips leave something to be dseired, but it is still a excellent pellet gun. Accurate and powerful and my old clips work perfectly in the new gun. Hard to beat for the money and I would give it 5 stars if the grips were a little more robust.

WOW, what an awesome gun, when I bought it I didnt expect much of it, but when I fired it I was so amazed by the power of this gun, the only thing I can suggest is to buy it now!!!

This is an awesome revolver. its not gold-ish as the picture may suggest, it's actually black but it makes no difference because its a sweet gun. it doesn't come with any ammo or a co2 canisters.

its very cool for the price i like it alot i did not know it was so big but its still cool i'm gonna buy one more soon and it got to my house fast thank you budk
