Crosman 357 Air Pistol. Any good?

[Geezer]

Had one about ten years ago. Pretty good, considering it's a cheap thing mostly made of plastic. You could spend more and get worse.

10 shot , single or double action and great fun !

Thanks Geezer and Alakar, just the sort of stuff I want to hear. Anyone else got something to say about how good or bad the Crosman 357 is? Or indeed a viable alternative?

Think they are a great pistol, adjustable rear sight, very accurate. Tend to use on single pull as it brings trigger back for sons smaller hands. Very well made. Can't speak highly enough of it. I own 8 other pistols including original and brocock and the 357 is the most fun by far.

Thanks for your input peddy, it looks like it is all good news as no-one has anything bad to say about the Crosman 357 - so far! I'm hoping to go to my local dealer tomorrow to see if he has one in stock.

They are a good gun, no doubt about it - the only weak area is the barrel latch.
But if you press the button and then close it, rather than snap it shut - it'll last forever.
Buy and enjoy

The latch is ok if you do what Harvey says.
I replaced mine fairly easily.

Mine is an older model with more metal in it.
They match the Umarex Smiths for accuracy.

Forgot to mention that aswel, I do it every time, also just take care when replacing grips after installing capsule. Mines not pellet fussy, cycles well. Buy a couple of extra mags dirt cheap and watch a tin of pellets disappear fast!
