Comments:
The model shown here is the third variant with plastic sights and cylinder in
177 caliber. The frame of the gun is all metal and was
manufactured in 1979. The United States Air Force used the
Crosman 38C and 38T for weapons training in the early 1960's to
simulate the standard issue S&W K-38 Combat Masterpiece. This
gun is capable of very good accuracy, especially in
single-action mode. The non-removable pellet cylinder slows down
reloading. The guns in the Crosman 38 series represent some of
the finest replica pistols every produced.
Performance:
