Title: Early Christmas present
Post by: Jaybo on December 02, 2016, 12:08:26 AM
Seasons greetings!

Yesterday, I picked up an early Christmas present to myself: a CR357 .177 cal. revolver.  Even though I own several air pistols that were designed to be airguns from the start (2300T, 1377, 2240) this is the first one I bought that's a real firearm imitation.  I really like the look and feel of the gun, as well as the usual Crosman moderate price.  I brought in a CO2 cartridge from the garage to warm up, installed it inside the grip, loaded some pellets into the clip and gave it a try.  I really like the look and feel of the pistol and it seems to shoot well.  It was too cold to spend any time sighting it in; I'll have to wait for a warmer day.

This is the first Crosman pistol that I'm not eager to modify.  IMHO it's fine the way it is out of the box.  :)

I agree.  The Crosman 357 type pistols are just a fun gun to shoot.  A little lube will help the trigger but so does a lot of shots.

Crosman recommends oiling the piercing lever, trigger, and hinge screw every 250 shots.  Of course, a drop of pellgun oil on every CO2 cylinder is standard practice.
