Crosman SNR357 Snub Nose .177-Caliber Pellet/ BB CO2-Powered Revolver

Crossman is quality and performance is excellant!

I was looking for an at-home trainer for my 4” Ruger Security Six. This is a bit shorter in the barrel, but fits the holster. Works well for working out how to get it clear and on point. If you screw up and shoot yourself, it will be a lesson but not a life lesson. The SNR357 has very similar dimensions and grip size to several real steel magnum pistols. It is about half a pound lighter than the real steel magnum, but then it’s not a firearm. The pellet cartridges are interchangeable with the Crosman Remington single action revolver. The BB cartridges are front loading like the Dan Wesson pistols. Again the Crosman Remington BB cartridges are compatible and rear loading. Not a big deal with the 7.5 inch barrel on the Remington, but when you have a 2.5 inch smooth bore barrel, the extra two inches in the cartridges can help just a little bit. The grips are plastic and the rear part that slides open runs in two tracks with small tabs top and bottom. I recommend taking a little extra time and feeling out how it works. If you man-handle it you will break it. It’s a little fragile and fiddly but once you get it it’s easy and they feel nice. Start by pulling back gently right behind the cylinder latch about half an inch (12.5 mm). Then gently pull the bottom out and the whole thing will slide backwards. It will then pivot upward out of the way when you insert the co2 bulb and are turning the piercing key. Note where the bottom track is and line the bottom tabs up with the track. When both top and bottom are lined up with the tracks, gently squeeze the back part of the grip forward and closed. I painted the front sight red and put white dots on either side of the rear notch. This is easy to pick up with my old eyes in lower light settings. Accuracy is about what you might expect with a 2.5” smooth bore barrel. Pellets are slightly more accurate. They fit the 4.5 mm tube closely. Steel BBs are more like 4.4 mm and rattle around a bit. All in all, I am happy with the purchase, and recommend it for point and shoot training. I find the technique takes quite a bit of practice to train your brain to judge the angle of your wrist. Your grip must be absolutely consistent. Using an airgun is about a tenth of the cost of shooting powder and BBs are about ten dollars a million. Once I got it worked out, about 10,000 rounds for good consistency and muscle control, I practiced at the range with my real steel piece to prove it to myself. I wasn’t surprised by the added recoil and noise, by the time that happens you are done shooting. You have done all the good or harm you are able to do. The air gun is, in my opinion and experience valuable trigger time whenever I get 30 minutes to go to the garage and shoot 100 rounds. Three or four times a week adds up. Just like learning a musical instrument.

Love the look and feel. Easy to load but kinda disappointed u can only load 1 in each cartridge and only shoot one lil ole bb at a time. I had hoped u could like fill up those cartridges full of bbs and not just one at a time. Dang.

Easy to reload and cool gun

Nice size heavy gun , definitely will purchase more products for this company 5star

My grandson is 13 and this was the perfect gift. He is familiar with guns and it’s heavy and shoots spot on.

It's heavy, it's robust, it seems relatively durable, the sights are adjustable, and it's nice that it has pellet and BB options. The biggest problem with this airgun is: fundamentally it is inaccurate. With any wheel gun the cylinder lockup needs to be FIRM in order to assure consistent and accurate shooting. I threw the bore laser I have for my real .357 snubnose revolver into the Crossman and even with the trigger pulled (the cylinder lockup is better when the trigger is fully pressed) the cylinder lockup is bad enough at under 10 yards I'm seeing a 3-5 inch shift left or right of the center of the target when I wiggle the cylinder. This is consistent with the upper end of inaccuracies I get when I use a clamp to hold it in place aim it at one point on the target and fire all cylinders without moving it. With a stronger cylinder lockup it would be more accurate. As it stands now it could be better. With regular operation it isn't THAT bad. You'll usually hit what you're aiming for assuming you sighted it in correctly (though the sight itself has a bit too much play to be trusted all the time and should be checked regularly). I think that the cylinder movement is exaggerated with my laser in there. I think that the system relies heavily on the friction between the rubber tip of the BB holder bullet and the rubber grommet that helps seal the gas to keep it from moving too much. I think that helps a bit, but I still think that depending on that was a bad idea insofar as construction goes. Because of this issue it's never gonna be as accurate as other airguns that don't have a rotating cylinder.

Worked well, pretty cool good for heavyweight solid construction

Muito bom aconselho

El blister viene abierto. Artículo procedente de una devolución? Por lo demás, parece que el estado es correcto. La empuñadura se abre demasiado fácilmente. Algo que ya han descrito algunos compradores. El acabado es bueno y la precisión… acorde a lo que estás comprando. El asunto del blister es suficiente argumento para no repetir vendedor. No la devuelvo por el engorro de ser un producto no Amazon con lo que ello conlleva

No se puede abrir la No se puede abrir la culata para cambio del co2 por favor decírmelo como hacerlol

Es bonito. Es divertido. Pero es muy muy impreciso. Sólo sirve para disparar a blancos de gran tamaño como latas. No sirve para disparar a una diana.

Poca potencia
