Comments:
The Crosman 38T is an excellent replica of the S&W K-38 Combat
Masterpiece. The model shown here is the .177 cal third variant
(1976-1985) with a plastic rear sight and plastic cylinder. All
of the Crosman 38 series of pistols have metal frames with
two-piece plastic grips. 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. The 38T can be fired
in both single-action and double-action mode. The single-action
trigger has a crisp break. This
gun is capable of very good accuracy, especially in
single-action mode, producing groups around 0.48". The muzzle
velocity (408 fps) is very good for a .177 cal CO2
pistol with a 6.0" barrel. Loading pellets into the non-removable pellet cylinder
is a bit cumbersome. The Crosman 38 series of CO2
pistols represents some of the best airguns Crosman, or anyone
else, ever made and they are still prized by collectors.
