Crosman SNR357 Dual Ammo Revolver

Buy more shells thats literally the only thing I'd do differently

Pros
Surprisingly accurate alot of shots per tank, and really nice looking. Great little plinker

Lube the rubber inserts of fake bullets so pellets will slip through with less resistance. Flat nose pellets seemed to work best (larger skirts?)

Pros
accurate. With full co2 I put a pellet through both sides of a small heavy duty cardboard box from 35 ft away (no wind)

Cons
Sights are more than fine for the price point but orange dot in front would be great.

Returned the unit I had to the store where i purchased it, then I found the Airgun Depot where I have ordered the “Ace-in-the-Hole” and once it arrives I will review honestly my opinion of the pistol

Pros
The weight, the size

Cons
The unit I received arrived defective. The trigger mechanism failed before I touched it., the trigger would not pull and did not turn the cylinder… Then as others have said the grips are of plastic and the co2 cover would not remain in place

I only use BBs. For a short smooth barrel, it is pretty accurate at about 20'. I wouldn't hunt with it, because the groupings are not tight, but that is not unexpected. I use it for can plinking, and about a third of the shots go astray. The sights were correct right out of the package. It's pretty quiet, so it doesn't attract unwanted attention from neighborhood busybodys. I am not a huge fan of the toy cartridges, but I load the BBs from the front of the cylinder without removing the cartridges, which spill all over the floor. The safety is very hard to move, but I have become used to it. The main problem is leaking CO2. I put a drop of machine oil on the gasket, and the key is to let it sit overnight so the gasket regains its shape.

Pros
A fun plinker, nice heavy weight.

Cons
Leaky CO2.

Not the rock band, but the revolver. A very heavy air gun. Snub nosed would limit the accuracy, but this one was hitting the 10 inch target and center from 30 feet. Well made all metal except for the grips, which are plastic. I have read some reviews about Crosman air guns that are not that favorable, but I have had several and never had any problems with them.

Pros
Heavy, feels and looks real. Accurate

Cons
The way the plastic grip slides back. Safety almost impossible to move at first, must loose up way working it many times.

Reviews that say this gun feels comparable to the real thing are highly suspect. The frame is pretty nice but the rest of this gun is not anywhere close. The entire firing mechanism (trigger, hammer, etc.) is lightweight diecast stuff and, even though trigger pull is ok, it just feels shoddy. Loose, "wiggly" hammer, etc. Obviously it's not a real single/double action weapon - it's an airgun - but it seems like a little more attention to quality could have been paid here. The grip is very plastic and flimsy and could have probably benefitted from couple metal pins to prevent it from pulling off the handle as well as even a bit of ruberization. The CO2 chamber itself is sung,solid and seems leak free. I put a couple rounds of premier pointed alloy pellets through it using a rest at 20-25 feet and this thing was all over the place. Granted, it's smooth bore and really meant for BB's, but so far really a yikes moment. Will try a couple different ammos and update this review if things get better. By way of comparison - my Diana Chaser hits with the same velocity in inch groupings (definitely target 8's and 9's) at nearly twice the distance. That said - they are very different guns. Looks over substance - guess you need to chose.

Pros
Solid frame. Fun revolver that lets you bang out six pellets in a row. Balance with C02 cartridge is reasonable.

Cons
Sketchy firing mechanism and cheap, very unreal feeling grip.

Just made the purchase wanted something for pest. I Don't care about the writing on the barrel This is a TOY not and I am pleased that it does not look like a real Handgun. it could be Purple for all I care My concern is that it shoots well and the C02 does not LEAK.

I bought this on a whim, I went out shooting with it and had so much fun. It's a good short distance training pistol, without the cost of ammunition. Fun fun fun

Pros
Weight is very realistic.

Cons
The hammer has a lot of play when uncocked.

Great revolver for those with larger hands. Really fits well and feels solid and substantial. Several thousand rounds and everything is working well. I tend to shoot as single action, so can't speak much to double action performance. Like many airguns, I wish they had left off the writing that's plastered across the left side of the barrel. I really like the way that the CO2 fits in the grip. The whole grip slides back and rocks up and out of the way. I found that after some adjustment of the sights, I hit what I'm aiming at consistently. I'm plinking cans, so I'm not overly worried about super tight groupings.

Pros
Seems to be very solid. Fully adjustable rear sight. Surprisingly accurate. Reasonable cost.

Cons
Cosmetic issues only: Wish the "SNR 357" wasn't plastered on the barrel in an ugly font. Would have liked it if the pistol was blued, or painted black instead of the grey alloy. Silver accents on trigger, hammer and safety look out of place.

I bought this gun for a friend of mine to practice with, before he buys a firearm. I liked it so much I bought one for myself, I think it's great.

Pros
Feels and works just like a firearm
