Crosman T4 OPTS air pistol Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The look and feel of the gun are excellent (All plastic exterior and weight slightly below the real deal). A noticable T4 printed on the side of the slide as well as a gray colored rubber grip differentiate it from the Glock it resembles (and does not claim to be an exact replicate of)
The barrel ends a bit past the slide for the barrel extension to attach itself to (The regular T4's barrel does not protrude as much) The extension is of wider caliber and does NOT improve accuracy. (Although it does make for a cool-looking exhaust of discharged co2 condensed vapor)
The Red Dot sight is of professional quality and grade. It comes in 11 steps of graduated brightness (nightime through daylight) and there's no need to remove the clear scope cover to use it. Calibration is simple and requires only a flat screwdriver tipped device (no manual or thumbnail calibration, so windage and elevation is not really as simple as "on the go") You should be aware that your line of sight in relation to the center of the sight varies the projected location of the red dot. Calibration should most likely accommodate your constant shooting style rather than each target's particular condition.
The Flashlight Works comes with 2 screw-on ends, either a regular push-on switch or with a pressure activated switch meant for the mounted configuration. One drawback is that a side mounted flashlight won't fit in the case unless dismounted first. (Making that a problem with the adhesive mounted pressure pad)
Drawbacks:
First of all, 450 ft./sec. is not THAT fast or powerful on a short handgun's barrel. A BB will bounce off an empty plastic soda bottle (CAREFUL!!), and a pellet will more often graze it than penetrate it (and not clean through at that).
The 8 round revolving-cylinder like "clip" is awfully designed. A magnet meant to hold BB's in place (less they slide right through) makes loading them tricky. Then, the "clip" is just DROPPED into the gun. There's nothing precise or accurate about the loading mechanism. BB's tend to fall outside the clip and inside the clip's chamber, or the clip can just wobble about inside the chamber falling in all the wrong ways and allowing no other solution other than rattling and shaking the gun (loosening more BB's) to get it to fall in place before you can cock the gun. Forceful cocking could result in further jamming the gun.
Pellets, though they fit more snuggly in the "clip", sometimes fit too snug to fire, and the "drop-in" loading mechanism results in oft improperly aligned barrel and clip, resulting in dented pellets stuck in the clip.
The co2 loading magazine is also slightly awkward to load and unload, rarely though sometimes resulting in wasted gas. The push-in release was curious enough to find without being illustrated in the manual, and it's operation is still off conventional.
Trigger pull is way over the norm, requiring you to pull back about 9/10ths of the way before firing (and it is a LONG draw)
Accuracy is great for a handgun, increased through the red dot sight, though the co2 release is also not superbly built and putts out 1 pellet instead of shooting it every 1 or 2 clips. Otherwise, there's a good turnout in the number of shots, handling over 5 clips per cartridge
