Hi there. First review on this great website, and am hoping to provide you with any and all the information you may need on the Crosman 357/ 6.

Price:
I just recently bought this great pistol at a Walmart for $40. MY first thought is, hey, dude, if you happen to have a local Walmart (I challenge you to find someone who doesn't), buy it there. It is the best price you will find for these. Especially considering online storeswill over-charge you, then hit you up for even more money, what with S&H and all that fun stuff.
(P.S. I do not work for Walmart, lol)

Construction:
This thing has an all-plastic construction (save for the hammer, trigger, blah), but it really bothers me to look at the thing. What they did was they made it look like a real pistol from a distance, but up close you will discover they moulded all the details into to halves of plastic. The "chamber" (Spinny thing that holds bullets) is what really ticks me off, though. The Actual chamber which holds the pellets is 2" in diameter, give or take, but is 5cm thick! It's like loading an obese quarter into your gun (holds ten shots, BTW) but in order to make it look like a "real" gun, Crosman decides to make it look like it continues back towards your hand. It's extremely difficult to explain, just check out the picture. The C02 compartment is kind of half-arsed. They got the bare essentials. To open it you have to pry off the sides of the grip. But like I said, it's all plastic construction, after a while, the edges of the covers will start to bend.

Performance:
While I'm talking about the C02, I might be obligated to mention that it gets an economical 100 shots per Canister, so the issue with the compartment is quickly forgotten after you are finished with you business in it. This thing is Accurate when put on single action, but if you want to show off, fire away in double. Sorry, "Lever Hammering" isn't supported. I've tried it. On the down side, this thing is too fun to shoot. You'll spend 20 seconds loading it and 2 emptying it. You'll be like "Already"?!
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
