Recommend a handgun for me?

[kingston73]

I have a John Wayne Colt SAA smoothbore, it’s fun but I’d like something maybe a little more accurate. I’d like either a blowback semiauto or a double action revolver, I think I want a rifled bore (unless they aren’t any more accurate) and I’d like something realistic.

Im thinking right now maybe a 1911 or a dan wesson revolver but there’s so many options and I’m really not sure where to start. Any suggestions are welcome.

Crosman Vigilante .357 probably the most accurate $50 pistol. Rifled barrel and good accuracy at 10-15 yards even 25 if you do your part.

You can even take a 1022 barrel and chop it down to whoever length you like to make a longer barrel for it (will increase power as well).

Second the Vigilante suggestion that you can buy for only $36 with free shipping by being smart and surf for the internet deals.

If you can get the older very similar CR357 version that's slightly more accurate than the current Vigilante and were clearance at Wal-Mart for only $12 OR was it $15 few years ago. Then they upped to $40 before being discontinued. Not to be confused with the current $100 model that takes cartridge shells to load each pellet that's not at all that accurate.

Of you have the funds then the Umarex S&W 586 and 686 will edge it out for 4-5x the price. Even the full sized Desert Eagle as well.

I really Don't recommend blowback pistols for accuracy sorry.

I like shooting my dan wesson 715 4" pellet gun. It does ok out to the 10-15 yards i set up at in the back yard. Wife and daughter like the single action.

The shells are neat - I went ahead and bought enough shells to cover a CO2 cart. It is more accurate than my sig p320.

That Umarex is way too much. I really like the look of the Dan Wesson but I’ve seen a few bad reviews of them. The Crosman looks good, bit ugly but better accuracy would make up for that. Did the older ones have all metal construction? Am I right in that the new ones have plastic barrel shrouds?

The Crosmans including CR357 plastic with metal rifles barrel insert.

The full metal ones aren't as accurate but really look real and if looks and metal is more important toto you than having the best accuracy then buy the metal ones instead.

I use one of my CR357s to plink at water bottle caps out to 25 yards. Try that with a metal OR blowback one.

I give another vote for the Crossman vigilante. Mine is accurate out to 25 yards and shoots Around 425 ft./s. I only paid $35 for mine. You can’t beat It for that price. They have went up a little bit recently though.
