 AdamJ.'s recommendation | |
Excellent quality (for Crosman). Heavy, Realistic feel and look. Accurate, high power.
Right-Hand grip is too loose. Double-action is too heavy.
Overall for the money this a great CO2 pistol. Average pricing puts it below $100 in the US. It fires accurately, although mine did need about 100 shots to 'break-it-in'. Double action is hard to keep accurate, single action is great. My biggest complaint about this pistol is the right hand grip. It is a piece of plastic that clips onto the CO2 lever. When a CO2 is loaded the piece is farily stable, but it can wiggle around. When no CO2 is loaded the piece can even fall off when you pick the gun up. This really irritates me, since the gun is made so realistic in all other aspects, was and is a let down. Makes you want to say 'typical crosman'. Other things to note is the double-action is a heavy pull and hard to keep accurate. For experienced shooters it should be no problem, but I'm within 6 inches at 25 feet in double action. Less then 1 inch at 25 feet in single action. I wouldn't recommend this gun for children, and it's marketed to adults anyways. Mainly because of the weight of this gun. Loaded with a CO2 and a Laser sight on the dovetail mount Im pushing 50oz! My next pistol will be a Walther CP99, mainly because of this RH grip, the CP99 loads the CO2 through the bottom of the grip.
