    GOOD POINTS of Crosman 357:
    it has a heavy and robust feel to it
    ajustable rear sights (although they dont move a lot- but is still enough)
    good but not great acuracy (it is not a match gun - its more of a fun gun)
    rifling looks nice and acurate

    BAD POINTS:
    co2 consumption - around 50 good shots before you start arc pellets in
    plastic outer barrle
    plastic mag - 10 shot
    little info on how to mount a scope or dot

    lovely gun as i bought mine for £80 with co2 and pellets
    feed this revolver good quality pellets - as a good pellet makes your air gun perform in a higher level. the trigger pull is quite heavy as im used to crisp 2 stage triggers. as said above it is accurate and fun the first few shots will blast a lot of smoke and noise, you will feel a small recoil. i will post a better review after i go through another 2 tins. before you buy it have a look at other guns as there is always somthing better.

    The Crosman is a really good gun. I have been shooting mine for ages and its deadly accurate and as powerful as the day I bought it, which is very powerful. It could look a bit better but you cant have everything. For the money you get a great allround CO2 pistol.

    For a beginner who wants power and have low budget. Strongly recommend the Crosman 357/6.

    At first glance an impressive looking gun that feels comfortable to shoot and recoiless. A replica of the 357 Magnum with 6" barrel it is great fun to shoot either single action or fast firing double action.
    I do think it is let down by the amount of plastic (including barrel) and the fact the gun is loaded by tipping the barrel forward to insert a 10 shot rotary clip. the actual cylinder is a moulded part of the body and does not swing out like the real revolvers.
    You only really notice ...

    Definitely fun. I set up a shoebox packed with an old junky demin jacket as a target stop in my home office. I can sit at the computer waiting for stuff to compile or whatever and practice my trigger work across the room. I don't get strange looks from the neighbors like when I take the rifles out back.. :F

    The Crosman 357/6(21) is a good gun for the money. I topped mine with a Daisy red dot scope for about $8 and it shoots 1" groups at 5 yards with Daisy wadcutter pellets. Taking the grips off and holding the metal surrounding the CO2 cylinder was a good fit for my hand, plus the warm from my hand helped speed up the pellets a bit and give me a few more shots. Not enough power to take rabbits or squirrels past 7 to 10 yards, but great for close range starlings or sparrows.

    I like this gun- a lot! I had a terrible experience with Crosman Hunting Chase Pellets and Crosman Co2, I wanted to return the gun because it performed so badly with these! But then...I got Daisy Powerline Co2 and a 500 pack of Beeman Crow Magnum (hollow point) pellets and instantly fell in love with it. The accuracy is good, I can hit a 1ft target from 25ft away, I just cant line it up to where it will hit on the target, seeing as I only have the sights it came with. But I love this gun and wou ...

    Great gun, fun to shoot, both single and double action. Great accuracy and power. Like i said though its a lot bigger than i expected, but thats no reason to pass on it. And unlike most revolving clips it holds 10 shots instead of the normal 8. I got it for $54.99 at specialtyshootingsportsoutdoors.com. Also my brother who isn't impressed by much and isn't into airguns thinks that this gun is very "gangster". So that shows you how cool this gun really is.

    This is my 4th air pistol, and 2nd CO2 pistol. I am very impressed with its performance, and with its construction. It has heaps of power initially, it can break bottle after bottle at 10 metres, at ~50 shots the power drop is very noticable. At this stage onwards the pellets bounce off tin cans and will no longer break bottles, but it can still be used to shoot aluminium cans to maybe 80 shots. At the extreme where the gun jams as there isn't even enough power to push pellet out of the magazine ...

    I bought this pistol after my Gamo PT-80 died. The Crosman 357 six-inch barrel is supposed to shoot 25fps faster than the Gamo did, although I can't really tell the difference in power. It is quieter than the Gamo, probably from the extra 2.25 inch longer barrel.
    The factory sights could not be adjusted all the way, which seems highly unusual and a nuissance, but otherwise the accuracy seems better than the Gamo PT-80.
    The triiger pull is the best I've experienced with a CO2 pistol: even presu ...

    My Crosman 357 helped put an end to 4 little skinkers living in my crawl space. The accuracy was a must as head shot with skunks is the only way to take them out with out getting sprayed...

    Super gun!

    I recently bought the Crosman 357/ 6 gun as 'refurbished' for £40 at uttings.com. The gun is great fun to shoot, as you can loose off all 10 pellets in less than 5 seconds. The main part of the gun seems to be metal, and the grip and barrel casing are tough plastic, it could look better if it was silver, but for £40 what can you expect? the barrel started to move back and forward after around 250 pellets and this could be causing it to loose power. The co2 canister seems to give ade ...

    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 ...

    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 wit ...

    I bought the Crosman 357/6 before I bought the S&W version. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. A LOT OF PLASTIC. In the U.S. it sells for about $35 at Wal-mart. Over here £70.

    Based on the Colt Python 357, it is accurate, if a little light to hold. Plastic aside, it will give good results, can be 'fine tuned' ( to within certain limits.) Offers about 70 full shots with average ammo, and is one of those 'go on forever' plinkers. However, if you push the cleaning brush too hard, the entire barrel assemb ...

    I bought my Crosman 357/6 from europe for 40€. The old user said it was in shooting condition and i couldn't try it in the city. When i get home and put the powerlet in the co2 gas was coming out in the gun in seconds. I knew that the seals must been blown and opened the gun. It was easy to understand inside and I found that the pipe sending the gas from the powerlet to the main valve was leaking gas caused by the bad seals. I tried to fix the problem with mine own seals. With them I could shoot ...

    I bought the Crosman 357/ 6 about a year ago and haven't had any problems with it. It's good for plinking around with but never the less this gun is pretty powerful at over 430 fps. It smashes glass bottles to smithereens real easy. This piece is pretty well made, being mostly composed of metal but the plastic handle isn't too strong. Great gun to have. It's great to shoot (packs quite a punch) and looks really good. Great air pistol to own.

    I bought my Crosman 357/6 at Wal-Mart last week for $40. I shot at 25 yards in single-action and was hitting aluminum cans. It's very good on CO2 at 80 shots per cartridge. I like to hunt small game with it. I like the sights on it and they seem to pretty accurate. I took it out of the package and shot a bullseye without touching the sights. I shot a possum the other day with a pointed hunting pellet and the pellet went straight through the thing. I am very satisfied with eveery thing about it.

    I bought the Crosman 357/ 6 at Walmart for $40.00 and find it great for the price. I put a $10.00 red dot sighting device by Daisy on it by clamping on the sight rail. They say you can't do that, but it works great and I have much better accuracy now. I shoot it at my urban backyard range safely and have a lot of fun. my boys love it. see http://airgunaustin.blogspot.com for more info.

    Ok I've had the Crosman 357/ 6 gun for about 5 years and I've shot about 5000 pellets through it. I would of given it a ten but the plastic used for the handle is to easy to break I broke mine so now I'm just holding on the the co2 and a little metal that surrounds it which takes away from the feel of the gun. This doesn't happen to many people though I was just pretty rough with it it's been through a lot. Today I decided to do a test on it's grouping and here are my results.
