Trigger Pull: The Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver offer a pleasant trigger pull in a single action, with virtually no take-up and a predictable, not-too-light weight. In double action, the pull becomes longer and heavier but remains manageable. For those with larger or thicker fingers, starting in a single action may be more comfortable due to the tighter finger opening.

Accuracy: Although I haven't specifically tested the Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver, I expect its performance to be similar to the standard Crosman 357 I reviewed in 2012. Both models share the same frame and 6-inch barrels, with the main difference being the outer barrel's shape. In my 2012 test of the Crosman 357, I achieved an average velocity of 402 fps with 6.9-grain pellets and a 1-inch multi-shot grouping at 30 feet. I plan to conduct an updated Field Test Shooting Video to see if the Crosman Vigilante can match these results.

Build Quality: The Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver is a straightforward pistol featuring a plastic outer barrel and inner steel barrel, with plastic grips, magazines, and sights. Most other components, including the receiver, trigger, and hammer, are metal. This line of Crosman 357 pistols has a long history of providing reliable and enjoyable shooting experiences.

Realism: While there are more realistic-looking revolvers on the market with swing-out cylinders and shell ejection, the Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver excel in performance. It offers more shots per CO2 cartridge, higher fps, and better accuracy than many of its more realistic counterparts.

Pros:

  • Affordable pellet revolver with a long-standing reputation for reliability.
  • Metal construction in key areas such as the trigger, hammer, frame, barrel, and CO2 screw.
  • Single and double-action trigger for versatility and precision.
  • Excellent accuracy, good power, and a reasonable number of shots per CO2 cartridge.
  • Fully adjustable rear sight.
  • Picatinny rails on the top and bottom of the barrel for easy accessory mounting.
  • Well-concealed CO2 compartment with metal construction.
  • Includes both pellet and BB magazines.

Cons:

  • The plastic outer barrel, though sturdy, could have been metal for added weight and balance.
  • Grips and trigger pull length may be too large for those with smaller hands in double action.
  • Not the most realistic revolver in terms of appearance, but more functional than many replicas.
  • Sights lack white dots for easier aiming.

Comments:

The Crosman Vigilante CO2 Pellet and BB Revolver is essentially a revamped Crosman 357, and it's my favorite version of the Crosman 357 series, thanks to its aggressive barrel design and convenient Picatinny rails for accessory mounting. If you prioritize functionality over realism and are looking for great value, the Crosman Vigilante is an excellent choice.

Better most revolvers

i bought it since it can shoot bb. But since it has 3 pellet magazines, that's why, i mostly use it for pellet shooting. i only use bb magazine when they run out of. it is very accurate at 8m, as if it is pneumatic pistol. Build quality is more than average. Polymer part is durable. if You love revolver replica, certainly You dont like this. But except a few 150-250$ pellet replica pistols, this air pistols beats all of them. By the way,, each magazines carry 10 pellets,. Only downside, it is not CO2 efficient although it is not a blowback pistol. i can shoot up to 40-50 ammo. On the other hand, they are quality shots and i feel myself a good shooter with this pistol, which my more expensive replica pistols can not perform this quality.

Emphasis on BB's are steel, NOT the gun!

It's not a steel gun. So if that enticed you to buy, think again. It's mainly hard plastic, probably delrin. You will definitely need more magazines, which I was informed a week after ordering that they were out of stock. The gun itself is low cost and quite accurate. The chamber does not rotate, just the small magazine part. If you want something more hefty and authentic looking operationally as well) then look at the 357SNR (also Crosman). If you're just looking for fun on the cheap and don't care about authenticity then this is a cost-effective goto.

Crosman Vigilante

This airgun is ok, not too accurate, and the grip would be better if not plastic....takes away any realism, and the cylinder would be better if it all came out, not just part of it.
