Same as me really.....you cannot beat one stroke loading when its a pistol really.
If you do buy one you need a later model. Post Simmons link up with crosman about early to mid 90s....or you will have problems.
They rebuilt it, raised the quality control and sorted out all the problems associated with the 80s models.
Ill be damned if i can remember the exact date of this revival of quality but anything post 2000 would be fine i should think.
