Solid construction, finish, fully adjustable sights, accuracy, "fun" factor.
That serrated trigger! Rattly RH grip, slide latch to release barrel.
The Crosman C40 is a similar pistol to the 1008, but is built of zinc alloy, with greater attention to finish. Internal parts are steel, rather than plastic, giving the pistol a similar "heft" to the S&W 4506. My pistol has proved extremely accurate, considering it has a relatively short barrel. It can consistently group 5 shots inside 12mm, centre-to-centre, from a rest. In single action the trigger is quite acceptable, letting off crisply and fairly lightly. Double action is heavy, still fairly smooth, but much harder to shoot accurately. The fun of banging off a 5 round rapid-fire string is awesome, and the beer cans go flying! I would like to see Crosman do something about the RH grip, which remains loose even when a CO2 cartridge is installed, and those serrations in the trigger - are they really necessary? My last grizzle is about the slide release - if it operated up-and-down, rather than front-to-rear, fewer "involuntary ejections" of the magazine would occur!
All round, though, I like the pistol a lot, and really enjoy shooting it.
