Is the S&W MP B.B gun any good? Durable?

[sgt.rock]

I want to buy a pellet or B.B. pistol tomorrow, but not sure what to get. It is gonna be a CO2 12gram type. I see the M&P and wonder if they are decent for the money? I also see a "Vigilante" .357 look-alike. Any good?
Crossman C11 ??
Crossman C42 ?? P38 Look alike
Crossman 1088??
Chime in if you can and let me know what you like/dislike about any of the above models. Just want one that will last longer than a tin of pellets.

I have both. The one with the 18 round magazine and 8 round circular magazine. Prefer the latter. A new blowback model is supposed to be coming out shortly--Around $100.00 american--Umarex.

Do you find the trigger mushy or decent?

What do you b.b./pellet gurus suggest for a paper puncher and can/golf ball popper?

If you are lookjng for a CO2 pistol I would suggest looking at the Umarex line. They have a large selection and their quality is quite good.

I've had the smith and Wesson m&p45 bb/pellet pistol. It was surprisingly quite accurate and can shoot lots of bb/pellets per 12g co2

What about the Common Crossman pistols that are found at Canadian Tire? Anyone know of ones to look for or of ones to avoid?

I would personally avoid them. You can get similar priced Umarex models that are better quality...

I have the new M&P 40 BB pistol nice pistol but low on FPS will try and mod the Mag co2 cylinder

Crosman are iconic, loads of people like them. Personally, I don't even buy their pellets. You get what you pay for and it's worth paying for something like an Umarex.
I have their 1911 for sale, I thought it was in the EE area but can't find it now maybe it slipped off the listings.

I used to own the Crosman 1088, and I liked it at the time. Still, it was one of my first pistols and I didn't know any better. Trigger was mushy, velocity was pretty low, and accuracy was only good for tin cans to maybe 30 ft. Maybe I'm just jaded now that I'm playing with custom 2240s and my Webley Alecto that can hit tin cans from 5 times the distance.

Also, I would recommend buying online rather than at Canadian Tire. Their prices are sometimes double what it costs online. Good ones are:

I've ordered off of all of them, and never had any issues.

That's an excellent and complete list of the best online Ca stores.

They are good quality.I bought a M+p R8 revolver with an 8 shot magazine from Cabela's for 49 dollars.It shoots over 400 fps and has decent accuracy up to about 30-40 ft.It's well made and has an adjustable sight.
