I love these pistols, I own the later one with the black grip and I also have the 50 cal paintball version crosman built called crosman 3357 which is one of the earliest paintball marker built. (The second I believe after the Nelson Arms Nelspot, crosman was approached first to make a paintball marker and designed the 3357 but decided not to build it as they thought it wouldn't make enough money so Nelson air was asked instead and built the nelspot. Only after crosman decided to actually produce the 3357. Only the barrel and revolver were changed foe the paintball version)

Great video. I have several. Got two Vigilantes and a Triple Threat and all the 357 barrels 4", 6" and 8". Three guns and five barrels and lots of 6 shot bb mags and 10 shot pellet mags in one 4 gun hard case. One set of grips painted flat white. As you said the 8" barrel shroud is metal, also the rifled barrel is steel. All the others have brass rifled barrels. A little trivia, I also have a '1357/6 barrel' that's smooth bore for bb's. I also have two 357/6 "GT" 's that have black instead of brown grips and gold triggers. Fun stuff.

Crosman now has a similar revolver, with three barrels of varying lengths. The name of that gun escapes me. The successor to the 357 is the Vigilante.

Great video, I’ve got about 10 Crosman but don’t have this one yet. Wonder why that old valve didn’t work?

Bought mine in 80 or 81 from a discount outlet store missing the manual co2's and spare magazine for 10 bucks. Not after 83. I'm pretty sure it came in plastic not a box.

Hmm. Around here Crosmans came in styrofoam and cardboard boxes well into the late '80s. The blister pack stuff didn't show up till later. Besides, the Crosman 38T was made until 1983 when it was replaced by the new 357 - several sources confirm that. I know someone who was certain they took pictures at Expo '67 with their new Canon AE-1 - despite the fact the AE-1 didn't arrive until 1976 (and they didn't own a time machine). After some thought they finally figured they used a Canon FT at Expo, and traded that in when the AE-1 arrived years later. Just the other day, I found an envelope with special ordered parts I squirreled away for future repairs. I clearly remember ordering them through a gunshop I lived near in the early '90s. Except the receipt in the envelope shows I bought them a few years later close to where I live now. Co2 guns often leak, and so does memory, apparently. Cheers!

@@canuckair so what is the part number I need?
@canuckair Жыл бұрын
Well, the Canadian supplier of Crosman parts does have the sight assemblies (same part for both versions of the 357), and they're less than $8. The part # is 357-012.

@@canuckair okay that is great. Thank You if only I still had the tri-folding plastic pak it came in Of course now It leaks air and doesnt stay latched closed. Is there still a seal kit for it? With cost of sight and all the seals do you think it is worth fixing? It has only been used about 200 times.

Subcribed im bindge watching your videos 😂. Love all this type of airrifle / gun stuff . Unfortunately in ireland our stupid laws don't let us have cool air pistols . We can have air rifles with licence . I would love one of those 8 inch crossmans .

The barrel didnt line up with the plastic revolver you had to give it a tweak to line it up with the barrel every single shot. The slug would catch on the side of the barrel damaging the slug making your shot in accurate. Good co2 pistol apart from that fault. The daisy .44 co2 pistol was much better it didnt have this problem.
