I had my 357-4-8 since October 2001 and 3200 shots.
I never had a problem with.
The trigger is ok.
The pistol grip and the outside of the 4"barrel are made of somekind of good plastic.
The co2 is good for about 66 shots
I am getting about 350 fps with the 4" barrel and 420 fps with the 8" barrel using Copperhead Pellets (With a new co2 at 20 degree C for the first 30 shots)

How is the 357 a semi auto? :? It’s  revolver, it even looks like one (not to mention functions too) :P

By p99 do you mean CP99 or CP sport, or the new CP99 compact? None one here seems to have the CP99 Compact, so if you want to be first.
:wink:
fyi CP99/ Sport are not semiautos either they're just DAO (CP sport) and DA/SA (CP99) the new CP99 compact has blowback feature just like the PPK and IS a true semi-auto :wink:


as far as power go 357 with 6in or 8in is more powerful than CP99/sport models

Buy my .357 6" :D

It's got a bigger clip than the CP99 (10 shots versus 8 ), it's more powerful and the accuracy isn't too bad either.

I put 500 pellets through it with no problems and managed it on only 5 powerlets so it's pretty gas-efficient. I just bought it from SIR two weeks ago but I haven't touched it since I picked up my Xisico B4-2. :oops:

Included is a hard shell pistol case, pellgunoil, an unopened pack of 500 crosman wadcutters and 25 Crosman CO2 powerlets. $75 plus shipping for everything. :)
