Crosman CCP8B2 Vigilante CO2 Air Pistol .177 Cal 6-Shot Revolver

The Crosman CCP8B2 Vigilante delivers reliable CO2-powered performance in a dual-ammo platform that accepts both pellets and BBs. This 6-shot revolver combines the familiar feel of a traditional firearm with the convenience and economy of compressed air operation.

What Makes This Different

The Vigilante stands apart from single-shot air pistols with its swing-out cylinder design that loads six rounds at once. The dual-ammo capability eliminates the need to choose between pellet accuracy and BB convenience. Variable pump mechanisms require constant effort, while this CO2 system delivers consistent velocity shot after shot until the cartridge is depleted.

Key Features

• Swing-out 6-shot cylinder accommodates .177 caliber pellets or steel BBs
• Single 12-gram CO2 cartridge powers approximately 40-50 shots
• Fixed front sight and adjustable rear sight for precision targeting
• Textured black polymer grip panels provide secure handling
• Double-action trigger mechanism allows rapid follow-up shots
• Manual safety prevents accidental discharge during handling
• Picatinny rail section enables optic or laser mounting

Field performance centers on consistent 435 fps muzzle velocity with lead pellets, dropping to approximately 465 fps with steel BBs. The revolver mechanism cycles smoothly through all six chambers without requiring manual indexing between shots. Accuracy remains consistent within typical backyard plinking distances, while the adjustable rear sight allows compensation for different ammunition weights and shooting distances.
