Since your arm is a factor, a 2240 with a stock might be a good option for you. Last time I did the wally world online deal it was 56 for the 2240 and another 25 for the stock shipped to store. Follow up shots will be a little slower than the 357, but more accurate in the first place.

I'm crossing my fingers that they'll let me have credit to use online.  The lady in accounting said I should be prepared to only get credit at THAT store.  The manager will make that call.

I didn't know WM had any parts online.

Yes, they did about 6-8 months ago anyway. I ordered two stocks and a few 2240's and tons of pellets. Almost out of pellets so I will be placing another order soon for the RWS Superdomes. My guns shoot them very well..

For faster follow up shots with a 2240, pick up one of THESE, with the little flaps on the inside you can walk on flatish ground with the pouch open without loosing pellets, and it will hold a FULL TIN of CPHP's :), I strap it to my belt on the left side, cycle the bolt and load with my left hand, the .22 pellets are easy to load compared to the .177.

They do still carry shoulder stocks....http://www.walmart.com/ip/Crosman-Shoulder-Stock/19426358

I have to go check that repeater thingy right now.

I like those pouches.  They would be handy.

they are very handy, I have two, one for .177 and one for .22 (along with a couple spares since they are cheap) depending on what I'm carrying at the time, took a paint marker to them and marked them with .22 and .177, since pellets don't come in the plastic belt clip things anymore this is a very nice compromise as they work even better than those did...

"Hey, back to the gun.  I just bought a 1377 and then re-injured my elbow.  pumping it up more than a couple of times starts to get painful.  I'm thinking CO2."


Gotta work on re-strengthening your elbow.  Recommend keeping the 1377, they come in handy.  (I got hurt this & thats all over - thanks to youthful stubborness & inherited arthritis)



"What's the weight distribution like on the 3576?  Is it very front heavy?  I know it's way heavier, but holding out my 6 inch GP 100 hurts because it's front heavy, but my 1911 is not very bad."

The 357W feels more rear-heavy to me.  Ruger GP100 6"?  MMMMMMMmmmmm Loved mine, miss it so (like a dummy I traded it off).  The 1911 design is fairly distributed across the action.


Also, you can go to the Crosman Custom Shop and look into getting a Custom Shop CO2 burner.
It ain't like it used to be but, eh, it's do.

I enjoy shooting the 357. It's a lot of fun to shoot in it's stock form.

What's best for it, in my opinion, is to take the barrel out and put in a longer barrel (like one from a 1377) and stick an LDC on the end. There is an increase in power and accuracy, plus you eliminate the loudness of it.

I sent one to my dad for father's day...the first thing he said was he didn't shoot it much because he was so surprised at how loud it was.
