Crosman SNR357 Dual Ammo Revolver

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

I bought one as was a refurb and worth the price.. Nice construction. The handle for the cylinder sticks a little. I was impressed power and accuracy for a small barrel

Pros
CO2 efficient, accurate and a great replica.

Cons
Cylinder at times can be hard to open

When I took it out of the mail package it was in cheap plastic packaging. Not the best start. It took Me a while to put the safety off because it was jammed. It still is kinds tough to slide. I also noticed that the hammer is super loose as to be able to move it side to side. It really shouldn't do that. The bullets are also loose in the chamber making it rattle when in movement. The casing for the co2 jammed on Me when I tried closing it the second time. Took ten minutes to pull it off without breaking anything. Other than those negative concepts, it is a real nice gun. It has nice weight to it. It looks rather real. It is metal and it does have adjustable sighting. And even though it may have some character defects, it does look real nice. I have yet to shoot it. But when I do I will comment on how it does.

Pros
Easy to use and smooth cylinder. Weight is heavy, but accurate. Solid trigger and easy to use. Adjustable sights. Looks like the real thing. It is metal.

Cons
Plastic packaging. The safety took a couple of tries to finally release right out of the package, and is still hard to release. The bullets are too loose in their chambers. The hammer is really, really loose and wobbles side to side. The case for the co2 (the handle/grip) is very loose as well.

gun had very good power for a short barrel. Looks and feels great. Single shot is great. All metal gun except the piercing handle and grips. Got 80 real good shots out of a CO2.

Pros
Fires beautifully. 80-90 shots per CO2. Attractive gun.

Cons
I would give this gun a five but because of the piercing handle its a 4. They made such a great gun and then put a very chincy handle screw to pierce. I can tell that will be a problem because its chinsy thin plastic. Takes more pressure than it should to pierce the CO2.

I put off buying this for a while. First I bought a less expensive version. It was a pain to load and it just felt cheap. I ended up returning it and getting this great gun. This gun is powerful, accurate, loads quickly and is just plain fun to shoot. I highly recommend this cool gun.

Pros
Very accurate rendition of the real gun. Loads quickly Very accurate

Cons
A little heavy
