Crosman PSM45 Spring-Powered Single Shot BB Air Pistol

This awesome spring powered bb gun pistol is simply amazing for the price.. obviously, not as powerful as a co2 cartridge version, but it's craftsmanship, quality & functions are simply high end & for such a fair price.. it brings me back to my cherished childhood ,when I recieved my very 1st spring-powered bb pistol for Xmas.... I love the metal & durables of the pistol,slide & removable clip.... very nice for the $$$$..Thank you !!!!!

8 inch barrel. looks real. make sure you get 6mm bbs

I enjoy shooting pistols frequently, so I will review this from an avid shooter's perspective.Fit and finish- 5 starsCrossman really did their homework when they developed this pistol. It feels like many of the striker-fired polymer handguns on the market today. I would say it falls somewhere between a full sized Glock and a S&W m&p. I know why they call it a PSM 45, this is a BIG bb pistol. Probably about the same size as a Glock 21 or a 4.5" springfield xd-45. This could easily be mistaken for a real handgun based on appearance, weight and feel. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing.Trigger- 3 starsNo surprise here, so I wont fault Crossman too hard. It has a very squishy and vague breaking point, but it is easy enough to figure out once you shoot it a few times. However, it should be noted that it feels nothing like any firearm I have shot. Also, there is no reset, if you like to leave your finger depressed on the trigger and cock it (like when practicing dry fire). I think the no reset is normal for single shot bb guns, just something to get used to for a training module.Sights - 5 starsThe sights are good. Not too much gap in the rear notch and easy to line up. The grip angle is similar to a Glock, so if you are used to shooting 1911 style pistols, it will feel as if you are pointing down at more of an angle. The sight profile is also similar to a Glocks sight picture, however there is only one dot on the front sight and nothing on the rear (no goal post? Fine with me). The sights are molded to the frame, so if you want to adjust bust out the nail file.Shooting and Aiming- 5 starsI realize that all guns are different, even the ones made at the same factory on the same day within the same hour. However, mine shoots great. It shoots a little high from 3-5yards, but at 7-10 yards, it is on point. Also, windage seems to be fine at all distances, it just shoots high at shorter distances. It should be noted that this thing shoots SLOW! probably only a few hundred FPS at best, I didn't bust out the chrono, but for what I am using it for it is perfect. I just want to shoot cardboard boxes in my house, not worry about redoing my drywall.Reloading- 5 starsThere is a magazine catch button behind the trigger guard (like most semi-auto pistols) that releases the magazine. The magazine is solid steel with a milled cavity for BBs to go into. There is a spring-loaded feeder that has a detent at the bottom, so you can lock out the spring and fill the magazine without any resistance or interference from the spring.Value- 1 million starsThis is a great BB gun. If you want something to train with that will help you learn the basic mechanics of shooting, this is hard to beat. I paid $28+tax and this feels just like a normal pistol. I think this would be a valuable training tool for anyone learning to shoot, or veterans who want to keep their edge in the comfort of your own home. Also, BBs are dirt cheap and reusable, if you can find them

Réplica exacta

I've had two of these now. The first seemed to be broken straight from the get-go. Got a couple weak shots off before it started making a rattling noise when shaken and a broken plastic piece fell out of the magazine slot. I returned it and got another.The second gun has so far survived, but I dropped the clip at some point and broke it. I was able to repair it with a slide I fabricated from a bit of magnesium and a file. I would have preferred to just buy a new clip, but they don't seem to sell replacements, at least on Amazon.I admit it's fun to shoot and feels nice in the hand and the accuracy is acceptable for a BB gun -- as far as I'm concerned. Just don't expect it to last for too long!

I got the gun and was so excited, it's almost exactly like a real one, realistic weight, shape, handling, you even cock it with the slide and it has a clip. I was very pleased with the construction, it felt very high quality. It wasn't too hard to pull the slide out, and the clip drops out smoothly, allowing for a tactical reload if you have extra clips. The plastic grip was slightly rough but I was so excited that I didn't really care. But from the moment I first fired it, I started to hate it. Without fail, every shot I took, it jammed. The spring inside the clip tries to jam as many BBs as possible, usually about 3, into the barrel in the time it takes you to cock it, which leaves the slide unable to return to its fully forward position, and the gun jammed. Sometimes the clip got stuck, but whether it was easy or hard to remove, when you did, most of the BBs that got stuck inside just poured out. There's usually 2-3 still stuck rattling inside as well, sometimes took just a couple seconds to get them out, sometimes took 5 minutes. I truly hate this gun, and would never recommend anyone buying it. To finish off, I wasn't really expecting flawless accuracy but in truth this gun is really a 50/50 bet whether you hit your target or not, and that was from just 10 feet away. I was looking for a mostly realistic gun that I could casually plink around with in the yard without having to worry about the power and cost of CO2 and always buying more canisters. Options for pistols like this are pretty slim, I may just switch over to CO2, at least those are known for being reliable, even if they don't function like a real gun.
