Its single action is the most accurate and smoothest way to shoot the gun. The inner handle on this gun is gun metal, and the screw is metal and not spring loaded. - The grip is quite comfortable. - The gun has a very "well built" type of feeling to it, when I opened the box I knew that the gun was not poorly made. - Since the barrel is rifled, shooting BB's out of the gun can actually effect the rifling of the barrel and decrease the overall lifetime of the gun. If you are looking for a gun to shoot in the backyard, or to kill a rat, or just to simply try out a BB/pellet pistol this is a very good gun."
"The two-piece black plastic handle grip is easily removed for replacing the CO2 cartridge, but the two halves seemed a little loose on the frame and would rattle slightly when in place, which I found annoying, so I added black 3/16-inch diameter stick-on foam dots at each of the corners of the handle frame on both sides and the plastic handle grip now fits snuggly with no movement."
"You need to put some pellgun oil on tip of each co2 canister before piercing, that lubes gun and creates a better seal. I seen numerous reviews talking about it not being accurate "Wrong" Airguns are very picky about which pellet they like and each gun even the same exact gun can like a different pellet. .177 pellets come in different sizes and weights IE: standard is 4.5mm I found my gun liked the 4.51 mm H&N 8.64 gr and it did not like the Crossman pellets at all."
"The other gun came with extra cylinders that shot only pellets ."
"It is really fun to use, and grips feel nice, sights are clean, and the gun design is really cool!"
The Vigilante features and all-new tactical rail system, adjustable rear sight and a heavyweight full metal frame. Full metal frame, with tactical rail system and adjustable rear sight.

"The grips being removable to put the cart in doesn't reattach real tight. Tight enough to not just fall off, but does feel a bit loose when gripping it. "Advertised" shows a bit higher fps than the tests I've seen. About 60 - 70 total shots per cart when it would start to lose power. starts to not have enough power to push the pellet out of the clip and down the barrel. (IF the plastic tongs were to break that hold the grip in place, a rubber band wrapped around the grip spanning top to bottom. would hold it in place & tight, as well would not interfier with hand placement and grip). Poly-type barrel shroud with Weaver upper & lower rails. (Top back & Bottom front). Plastic BB & Pellet clips. Metal push button & "hook" into Poly-Type shroud area to keep barrel locked in place. Double action is a lot heavier trigger pull. The test reviews show 87.5 db's 3 feet from pistol being fired. Noise level does drop as more shots are fired from the cart. (DO remember though, this airgun pistol does have the size & look of an actual firearm. Loading... Push button to release the "hook", barrel breaks down, filled clip rests on a pin. Would cause premature wear on the detents, which would make it no. longer rotate on its own with each shot."
"The grips feel kind of cheap, and its kind of a hassle to install the CO2 cartridge. Also I killed a possum that was under my truck at about 45 ft distance with one head shot."
"Now, if your shooting at 25 yards, forget it, it is after all a pellet gun."
"may be 4 stars ?"
"Bought this for my 12 yr old for Christmas."
"It doesnt leak at all like some other pistols."
"LOOKS BETTER THAN IS, CANT HIT SQUAT AT 10 FEET., PERHAPS OTHER HAVE HAD BETTER LUCK."
19 shot drop free metal magazine for quick reloading. Powered by one 12 grain CO2 capsule housed in the grip.

Although it does have a fairly noticeable plastic feel, the gun still maintains a solid build and can pass as real. Accuracy and Power: I set the gun on a tripod and marked a piece of wood at the point where my sight was aimed. At 100 feet the drop was measured as 2 inches, and at that distance the BBs also started to slightly curve with the prevailing wind."
"Item is great, I liked it and ordered and did not read anything at all because some reviews were good."
"There are many loose dogs around here and I have been attacked several times by the packs."
"The lack of a rifled barrel and the use of BBs means that it just won't be accurate enough for hole-through-hole accuracy at extended ranges. I get about 140-160 shots or so before the trajectory starts to dip to the point where normal sight alignment becomes unusable for shooting tin cans. Put a drop of pellgun oil on the tip of each CO2 powerlet for longevity. I find the cheapest place for powerlets is the crosman 40 pack at walmart and the cheapest bbs are the copper coated 6000 packs which I are the same price here and at Walmart last time I checked. If you shake the gun and hear the bbs rattling inside, take the mag out and try again. Most of the skills transfer over.... sight picture, trigger control technique, etc. Also, I would consider getting a more accurate single shot pellet pistol for some bullseye style shooting to compliment this gun which is better for practicing rapid fire."
"I really wanted to like this, it worked for like five minutes, if that and it kept jamming - hasn’t worked since - after reading more reviews, I put oil on the tip of the CO2 and it won’t fire for nothing !"
"Purchased Item failed at first trigger pull, exhausting Co2 while jamming firing mech."

"Not as quiet as I anticipated though, being the only downside to this product, considering it's called the "silent cat" , therefore, I moved from outdoors to indoors to avoid complaints from neighbors, but hopefully will quiet down a bit more after putting more pellets through it."
"Scope works good for his use of varmint hunting. I had never used it in the 4 years we have owned it, my husband using it all the time."
"Four stars because I had to purchase an aftermarket scope and do a trigger mod."
"I call it my rabbit eradication system."
"The gun is by no means loud but is louder than the traditional pump air rifle I had as a kid."
"UPDATE 4/30/16 After about 150 Gamo pellets the scope went bad."
"He wanted an air riffle to shoot the rats that invade the chicken coop and steal their food LOL!"
