Was $74.95 USD Now $49.95 USD http://www.pyramydair.com/p/crosman-357-air-gun-revolver.shtml Crosman 3576 revolver ---> 16 reviews http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews4924.html PRODUCTS > PISTOL > 3576 REVOLVER http://www.crosman.com/site/listing/1051 _________________ René My air gun stuff . always a link!   Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2007 12:28 pm The outdoorsman Veteran Member Joined: 07 Sep 2007 Posts: 240 Location: Canada man under500fps, is there anything that you don't find a link for?

The trigger in double action is not the best but in the single action after you cock the pistol ,it is lighter and ok. By the way most of the so called semi-automatic pellet pistols on the market these days are actually revolvers in disguise anyway. http://under500fps.myfastforum.org/Crosman_357_4_8_kit_about226.html _________________ René My air gun stuff .   Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2007 2:34 pm StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK Hi Quelt If your looking for a Semi-auto Fun shooting Air pistol, I highly recommend the Walther PPK/S, I bought one of these awhile back and although it's not one for accuracy (as it uses BB's and not pellets) it has to be the most funnest Air Pistol ever replicated from a real firearm!! It is a true Semi-auto, blow-back, 1:1 scale version of the Walther PPK (A James Bond Gun), So it has a very good reputation down at the local firing range and will always attract a crowd of spectators amazed by the realism and blow-back system on it. Loved it since the day I got it and always will!

What do you think? Also, Rene or anyone: how would these Crosmans compare with the Smith and Wesson / Umarex?

Nothing is per se "wrong" with them- but Crosman is notorious these days for needing improvements by owners due to alot of QC problems. Of course- you can buy most Crosman pistols for around $60 USD brand-new, so there's alot of extra available for improvement when comparing them to other things. For $60 or so, I wouldn't be criticizing the Crosman 3576W ('357') too much myself. I also don't know that the 357 definitely has any real QC issues- but it wouldn't surprise me if it had a few quirks. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Do you find them noticeably LOUDER than other air pistols? Jim _________________ "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

(Around 75 USD or lower) Not going to be really good, just a fun pistol. Well, I am getting Beretta PX4 Storm for $76.93USD + S&H. It is not a powerful pistol but I am sure there will be a lot of fun to shoot. I don't like BB pistols in general because I am always concerned about BBs bouncing back at you. Edit: I placed my order with TheGunSource about 1 1/2 weeks ago. They seem to have the best price. I haven't received my package yet but already got the FedEx tracking number. Also CobraAirguns has it in stock, but its price is a bit higher.   Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2007 8:37 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Pellets also bounce back once in a while. _________________ BIG GAP Pistol     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Pistols You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
