Good Points: Balance is Good Very heavy Metal contruction Uses BB's or Pellets "Wadcutter pellets only" pretty accrate Old West style single action realy cool Uses Co2 very well
Bad Points: The Cylinder is plastic where as the rest of the gun is metal,has a metal finger for activating the cylinder loading so it can tear away at the cylinder over time and a lot of use but part are cheap and my first shilo lasted me alongtime for it had a problem with the cylinder and I recentaly got another shilo and its fine and I can still get parts for the old dog. the sites are both fixed style so it can be a bit tricky but its alright.

Overall its a great gun and I love mine, and for those of you that like to do mods on guns the shilo can be moded and increase power, I have seen a place on the internet where they shorted the barrel and made it into a .22cal and so on. If your goping to mode your guns by a spare gun of the same in case something goes wrong and if you are not sure or lact the expertise on modding don't do it increaseing the power alone is dangerous if you dont know what your doing. I myself have been doing mods for a while and there are somethings I still wont try...but any how the 1861 shilo is a great gun sigle action 6 rounds bb's and pellets or mix them up in the cylinder and so on..was worth the money.
