Just a short update on my Crosman 357 CO2 pistol. I have had some good use out of it so far, with no problems. I solved the loose grip problem by putting some gaffer tape (strong woven plastic covered tape) on the chassis part of the grip. I only put a couple of thin stripes around the outside of the chassis, and the covers seem to bed down around it when you put them back on, and there is also less movement. If you get some barrel movement inside the barrel shroud, you can easily take the barrel out by pulling it and wiggling the little piece of metal where the barrel snaps back into the latch. Make sure you don't loose this little piece as it is only small, then you can put some clear silicone around the barrel, and then push it back into the shroud, not forgetting that little piece of metal which you can also put silicone on to eliminate any movement when it closes. Just before the silicone sets to a rubbery consistency, test fit a mag and look through the side at the mag to make sure there's no gape between the barrel and the mag, moving it for a good fit before the silicone dries completely. Also, check for any movement on the barrel latch area. If so, undo the barrel latch and put some silicone behind that little piece of metal I mentioned earlier, and let it set, and then test fit the barrel to the latch until you get a snug fit. This should improve things a little for a little outlay. Have fun.
