Very good beginner gun
Pros
Very accurate and feels good in hands
Cons
the grips are loose
Pros
A nice first pistol to learn to shoot a pistol with. Can be used in a basement range.
Cons
Poor double action. Not suitable for hunting.
This airgun is perfect to have fun with target's in your backyard or rat hunting.
Pros
The long barrel help with the accuracy and the adjustable rear sight works well.
Cons
Not to strong at log range.
Well constructed for what it is. easy to hold steady on target.
Pros
Extra Discs for the pellets makes reloading a chore but the shooting is more fun because of them.
Sight picture is adequate for close work.
CO2 lasts longer than I expected.
I really liked the rifled barrel and how it contributed to accuracy.
Cons
Sights could be improved with Tritium sights.
Gun would be perfect if made in metal.Chrome and Blue finishes.
Got a good 80 shots with one co2. Power is pretty dam good.
Pros
Shooting with very good velocity. did better with accuracy than most of my guns.I bought it because the crony tests results I saw on you tube.
Cons
Cannot pierce the Co2 with the grips/handles on.
I can't say enough good things about this Crosman Vigilante, I own 2 of them, One is the older 357 mag, before it was designated the "Vigilante" Super accurate with a cheap Red/green dot sight, affordable to buy and add extra mag wheel cylinders, east to operate, opens like a Scholfield. Shoots heavy wadcutter pellets best, dead on out to 30 yards, will punch a hole in a steel soup can inside or 25 yards on a straight on shot.
Pros
Some tips
1) shoot Crosman 7.4 gr wadcutter pellets, cheap 1250 milk carton $8 at Walmart, best, most accurate.
2) Only use Umarex quality CO2s, the Daisy and Crosman are weak and dirty with soot
3) Use the clear Gamo air gun oil,Pelgun red dye crap sucks
4) a cheap Red/Green dot sight, $14-$20, it must have the narrow, straight tube not to cover the break button
5) I shoot my Vigilante without the grips, so my hand keeps the CO2 warmer and stronger
6) Buy a FOAMACTION Rifle and Pistol Shooting Block Bench Rest and weight it with a heavy bolt or fishing weight and seal it with Hot Melt Glue so it doesn't blow over.
7) It's a personal choice, I paint all my realistic looking Air Guns with an Orange muzzle. I live in an Urban Setting, surrounded by Democrats
Here's a pic of my Vigilante, Hope this helped...
Cons
I would improve the cylinder position lock, the wheel clip will move when the gun doesn't have the trigger to the rear to allign it. A click in position lock between shots would keep the wheel clip from moving past the next shot.
Also,Maybe make a super Vigilante with twin CO2s, perhaps in 22 cal....?
I bought a Vigilante a couple of years ago and it has proven to be very reliable and fun to shoot.. So for this Christmas I ordered three more for presents to the grandchildren. They're easier for the kids to operate than some of the others, especially the spring piston and SSPs I thought they would like but weren't strong enough for.
Pros
Reliable and easy to operate.
I chronied mine at 450+/-.
Cons
Might be a little hard to break open to change cyclinders.
The grips had some play but was easily cured with electrical tape judiciously positioned.
I order this so I would be able to shoot in my backyard. Although it is a bit louder than I anticipated it is every bit as fun as I expected.
Pros
Inexpensive
Easy to load and shoot
Cons
A bit loud
Handle is a bit of a loose fit
once you get rid of the plastic grip parts it's a pretty good gun

asked RockyDEAR SELLER SEND US THIS ARTICLE TO CHILE? WHEN IS THE VALUE OF THE SENDING POSITIVE? THANK YOU
asked LUIS ADOLFO from ChileCan you use the same magazine more than once
asked Danny PatePut the canister in a completely leaked out where do I find new seals
asked Buddy AllenCan someone explain to me how do i get the same velocity n power out of evwry pellet or bb
asked JeffCan a 7 old who hunts with his dad handle this gun. He is very advanced and loves to hunt deer, hog, etc. just want something for him to target practice with. Blow up some cans at grandmas house. It looks awesome and adding the laser would be fun for him, and adding accessories. I like that it shoots bb's and pellets for the future.
asked SonjaHow powerful is this gun? Is it strong enough to pierce a watermelon?
asked johnThe grips are loose and floppy after extended use. Does anybody know of a "fix" for this, or where to purchase replacement grips?
asked Georgewould this be good for small pest like stray cats
asked austinWhy would you shoot stray cats? Sounds like you have too much time on your hands.
Jennifer from USANO! Shooting stray cats would be inappropriate for a number of reasons, but more specifically, shooting any animal the size of a cat with THIS airgun would only result in injury and torture of the animal. Regardless of your intentions, it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY that a humane "kill shot" is achievable, but probable that IF the animal does dies, it will be a long and languishing death. More likely, the animal won't die, but will be suffer for too long. Find a better solution to your problem, please.
Victor from AfghanistanI live out in the country and have used it to scare, get rid of rabbits, field mice, snakes and even the occastional racoon. Have a dot sight on mine that helps with quick sight picture with moving targets. Have not had any problems with my gun
Greg from USANo. It does not shoot at a high enough velocity. All you will do is wound the animal and cause it to needlessly suffer. Get yourself an inexpensive .22 cal pellet rifle.
Kevin from USAwhen will this be in stock
asked [email protected]Stan, This particular item is back in stock now. We have over 20 in stock. make your purchase now. Sincerely, Airgun Depot Customer Care Team
Scott from USAON AIR GUN DEPOT HOW MUCH DOES SHIPPING COST FOR CO2
asked DANIELDaniel, Depending on what quantity you purchase in the CO2 you would be looking at anything from 5 to 10 dollar range. Hopefully that answers your question. Sincerely, Airgun Depot Customer Care Team
Scott from USAhi , do I need a certificate if I buy this ?
asked jetJet, Please contact our International Shipping Department at [email protected] They can answer any questions you might have. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team
Scott from USAI wish to know the 357 stands up well to long use and any problems that may arise with the locking system
asked verdun from USADoes it shoot arrow heads?
asked jasonYes it will shoot arrow heads but I recommend using only crosman pellets for they fit more snug in the clip.
Kyle from USAIs the item worth the money? And is it all metal?
asked Julius BennettThis item is definitely worth the money! Other retailers have it at around $65. But the price is just icing on the cake. It's highly rated by a lot of customers (over 260), and according to one review is as good as other similar air-pistols costing 3 to 5 times as much. But none of that is as important as my own personal experience with it. My experience with it has been very good. It's very accurate. It has a decent trigger (as single-action and double-action). I get around 70 good shots per CO2 cartridge. The sights are excellent, with the rear being fully adjustable in both elevation and windage. It is not all metal. It has a lot of plastic, but that is not such a bad thing. The plastic is durable, but also makes the pistol light. This is a very good training gun. If you execute proper fundamentals, this gun will hit its mark. It will also expose YOUR weaknesses. The lightweight, good trigger, and accuracy will help isolate fundamental weaknesses, so that you will know what to improve upon. Any expert will shoot well with this pistol. It delivers. You don't need blow-back, and you don't need a heavy gun to master pistol fundamentals. So you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for something that perfectly simulates a firearm. Recoil tends to mask the shooters mistakes. That's why ALL world class shooters "dry-fire". This pistol provides the best of all worlds for perfect practice. It shoots like dry-firing, and yet because of it's accuracy, it will allow you to measure YOUR performance. It's cheaper than taking many times as long to figure out where and how your are weak using live firearm ammo.
Victor from AfghanistanHi there. It is not all metal but it shoots beautifully and very accurately. Zeroing the sights is easy enough with a flat screwdriver. Make sure you buy a bunch of spare co2 cartridges, they're 12 grams but they go quickly. The action is easy and smooth; it is DA as well as SA. It has an excellent heft and fits in a large hand well. The ergonomic grip is particularly comfortable and there is - in my opinion - no kickback. It is somewhat quiet since the only real noise is that of the gas discharge. I haven't evaluated the duration of a co2 cartridge, but it seems to be satisfactory. It is a fine looking specimen and is extremely fun to shoot.
Kevin from USAfree shiping if I order this item Crosman 3576w air pistol $29.99 thank you
asked nguyen leNguyen, We offer free shipping on orders over $179. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team
Scott from USACan you mount a red dot reflex sight on it?
asked Shea from USAYes a scope/sight can be mounted, but needs to be able to fit the 11mm dovetail configuration on the top of this pistol's barrel. Crosman and other manufacturers do make such sights although I was unable to find the Crosman red-dot sight I have employed on my Crosman 357 here under sights. It does work well, however for a cheap sight, and has made an already accurate air pistol much more so! There is a sight here that may well fit and work well for under $20. Here is the link: http: //www.airgundepot.com/nc-star-red-dot-sight-1x25-compact-red-dot-integrated-weaver-and-dovetail-mount.html#reviews This may be one of the sights whose mounting bracket simply is reversed to fit either a Weaver/picatinny or the dovetail mount, but best to check before ordering it.
Rick from USAWhat is the difference between this gun and the Crossman 357 other than the free cylinders and holster?
asked TimNo difference. Exact same gun. The pack w/ the free cylinders & holster is the BEST DEAL. Can't find a better deal anywhere but here in AGD.
TheJohnny from USAWould this have enough power to kill a squirrel out to 25 yards?
asked steven from USAThis may, but why kill him? also the amount of co2 in the cartridge, say new one verses old one almost out of power makes a difference.
gloria from USAdoes it come with co2 cartrages
asked tIncludes: Pistol and (1) 10 Round Clip
Scott from USAis it made of metal ?
asked LukeNo it is not made out of metal.
Scott from USAWhat does this include? is it just the gun?
asked Mark from USAJust the gun
Scott from USAIs this metal?
asked JackJack, The barrel of the Model 3576W Magnum CO2 Air Pistol is made of rifled steel, however, the grip/frame is synthetic. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team
Steve from USAWhat size CO2 cartridge does this use?
asked Wade12 Gram CO2 = https://www.airgundepot.com/crosman-15ct-co2.html
Mark from USADoes this gun shoot pellets or just BB's?
asked JimThis gun will shoot pellets only, do not use bbs.
Steve from USAcan you also shoot bb's with this gun ?
asked thomas from USAyes you can it gives you a disk for bb
stuard from USAThe answer to your question is no. A pellet measures .177 and a bb measures .172 and would not stay seated the disk. Also the bb would not engage the rifleling in the barrel resulting the loss of accuracy.Hope this information was helpful.
kenneth from USAPellets only.
Conor
Have lots of ammo ready! Lol
Pros
Lots of fun to shoot. Sights were off from the factory but once they were zeroed in I was hitting dime size groups from 35ft. And getting a good 65-70 rounds out of each cart.
Cons
Plastic grips could be a better material but still a fun gun to shoot. And a great product for the price point!
