CrosmanFortify CR45 CO2-Powered BB Pistol

I got this for my 8 year old and he loves it. Wanted a different style from what me and his older brother have. If you know how to shoot it will hit the target

If you keep your expectations in line with what you purchased, then this a very neat BB revolver. Here's what works: the spring fed reservoir, the "loading gate" safety, single action option. This is what could be better: trigger weight, sights (although then they would not be period accurate), less plastic. If you look at what could be better, there are options on the market that address most of these, but at a considerable price increase. For me, this little revolver fits the bill if you have reasonable expectations given the price point. It looks good, feels good in the hand, holds air, and is relatively accurate.

Love the pistol. It’s about as accurate as you would expect shooting bb’s

Love this little shooter!!!!! After putting a dab of white paint on the front sight she’s a winnah !!!

This broke after a couple of months with very little use and not abused. VERY disappointed.Has a good feel to it and seems high quality but the C02 valve breaks after approximately 20 hours of use. If its a defect - shame on crosman. If its a design flaw - shame on crosman.

Christmas present for my 10 year old he enjoys it, sights are terrible but 🤷‍♂️

Feels grossly cheap. Got it to compare to the early model Hahn 45. They definitely don't make them like they used to.

Lately I have been watching a lot of old westerns on Prime video. This BB pistol is not a realistic replica of a frontier six-gun, rather than being a true revolver it is an all plastic co2 pistol fed with an inline magazine housed in the "ejector rod". What this pistol reminds me of most, especially with the light weight and cheap looking white plastic grips are the various Peacemaker style bb and pellet pistols sold by Crossman in the 1950s to early 70s. In that era television and the movies served up the mythical old west on a near daily basis, creating a demand for pistols similar to this. The Fortify is lightweight and, so far, reliably sends a BB downrange accurately enough for shortish range plinking. As a single action only pistol the hammer is fairly stiff, it is no target pistol, but if you adjust your expectations, it is very serviceable and enjoyable shooter. If you put it in a holster, make sure it is not too tight or the finger stud on the "ejector" magazine can be pulled down when you draw, spilling some of your ammo. I bought a cheap soft leather holster made for a single six and after breaking in it works just fine. Some have mentioned the seal failing quickly and the gas leaking out, my advice is to be careful not to overtighten when installing co2 and do not keep the pistol loaded with a pierced co2 cartridge for too long.
