Crosman Airguns- Model 3576W Magnum CO2 Air Pistol

I've had it for a few years, it was good for the first few months but then it started to malfunction. I put over 300 dollars worth of pellets and Co2 through this gun.

The first time I purchased this pistol (the 357-6 version is basically the same minus grips color), I fell in love. Crosman then re-designed this handguns grip for a positive fell and superior handling with finger grooves. The 3576W gives 10 shots as fast as your finger can pull the trigger plus single action for more precise shots (my preferred method of firing this handgun). I wish I still owned that 357-6 from the mid 1980's but this one can be had for virtually the same price here. I will add another one to my collection soon!

I bought this from another website a few years ago. I'm not sure if they mention it here but this gun fires BB'S AND PELLETS. The BB's will sometimes fall out of the cylinder and leave you firing blank shots, but the pellets will not fall out. If you plan on doing anything besides target shooting with this gun I recommend that you tape over or use some string and tie around the handle. I was riding on a quad and I had the pistol on my hip and the plastic handle cracked open and flew off. If you have this problem you can fix it with a few feet of parachord wrapped around the handle to protect the Co2 cartridge.

I never thought I would want to shoot air pistols until on a whim I ordered a refurbished S&W model 41 type black polymer pistol BB gun about a month ago cuz I thought it might look good on a shelf. I looked at as a novelty until I shot it and for an unrifled barrel it was impressive. It let out a nice bang and I got to where I bust open an egg sitting on a fencepost or pilan at 25 f, 7/8 shots out of 10! I loved it but had to send it back cuz of a minor malfunction so when I logged on to get the address info I saw this 357 and it was a good price so I thought what the heck, nothin will go wrong with this one cuz it is brand new. So I bought it and holy moly that lil B' can blow an SSP 177 pellet at rifle speeds! I have not chronied it yet but I am guessing over 550 and blasting a lil starlings out of tree tops is easily doable. I am guessing I land the right shot on a Big Black Crow it will bring him down too. LOL I know it aint a rimfire, these pistols are a different kind of deal altogether. You can have it with you whenever and wherever you want,, (within reason) and sheeeeeeeesh its just alot of fun. I am going to try lead pellets too but I dont know if that will work as good so get yourself a bunch of SSP hunting pellets when you order and its cheap comared to firing rimfire. I will let you know how my BB Gun repair or replacement goes when I get it back too but in the meantime get yourself one of these Crossman 357 guns and sheeeeeesh shoot your shits out til the sun goes down. (later if you gotta lazer or nightvision.... ;) ) In a nut shell? If you wanna buy something just cause its really cool to get something fun in the mail then buy this gun. You will NOT be disappointed. Sincerely, Bob Bitchin'

This is a great plinking gun. Pretty accurate for a pellot pistol. Only has a few downsides...see cons...

Yesterday i went outside and i was shooting a 8 inch by 10 inch piece of drywall from 40 yards (120 ft) with a crosswind of about 8 mph. The sight adjustment is tight and very well made, there is no wobble. I dropped it on concrete and i got scratched but still works great. I have shot a ten shot group the size of a quarter from 30 feet. (iron sites) Once in a while when you are firing single action the cylinder won't rotate all the way and you will have a miss fire. this has never happened to me while shooting double action.

This is the best pellet pistol i have used, the sights are easy to change, and the look and feel is realistic.

Lots of fun... Much more so than a single shot. I live on Wake Island (Mid-Pacific) and we have thousands of rats on the Island. While a rifle is easier to use and wins the rat hunts. This crossman pistol has earned a lot of respect out here. 25 - 35 "good" shots per cartridge, is fair enough. My pistol has killed at least a few hundred rats! INEXPENSIVE! SPORTING!!!
