General Comments

I've collected various air pistols over the years and added the Crosman 357/ 6 to my collection primarily because of the power so many reviews seemed to promise. Well, the power is impressive for the first 10 to 15 shots. No more. Accuracy is superb for those 10 to 15 first shots, but no more due to the sudden extreme pellet drop. The trigger to my taste is one of the best I've handled (even compared to the expensive Umarex range), but this only serves to increase my disappointment when suddenly the magazine won't turn due to a pellet becoming unseated (happens often on this pistol) and jamming against the gas chamber before the rotation is completed. It hardly matters if you've already fired about 25 or 30 shots with this gun, because at that point pellets jam in the barrel anyway or just plop out due to insufficient power. This applies to all guns of this series. Then again, it's not a very expensive pistol - you get what you pay for.

    Have you tried a variety of pellets. I had a similar loading problem with my IZH 61 when using Crosman pellets. I tried JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Express they seem to fit tighter in the magazine.
