Read First Before Buy Crosman Stinger AirSoft Pistol Holster

First off, I ordered this pistol and got exactly what was pictured--a two-tone dark tan and black with a black holster. Mine, however, came with around 200 or 300 6mm yellow air soft BB's--probably about .12 grams each.

DURABILITY: 10/10
I have used this pistol yet in an air soft war, but I have fired around a little less than 100 rounds. So far it works great. It hasn't jammed once, and everything seems like it is well-made. The pistol and the clip are made of a very hard plastic. The pistol has some metal on the inside of the hull. The holster is made of a sturdy vinyl with a Velcro strap.

PUNCH: 6/10
This gun packs a decent punch for a spring-powered pistol. To test the punch, I held the tip of the barrel about five inches from my lower arm (a few inches above my wrist)and shot myself twice within 30 seconds. The pain lasted between 15 and 20 seconds while I rubbed the area with my hand. I now have a very ugly, purple welt that is about 1/4 inch in diameter. Take my word for it, this thing is a beast at close range!

ACCURACY: 7/10
The Stinger P9T has a "hop" feature that is always on. If I want to shoot something that's 50 feet away, I have to point the sights about half a centimeter below where it should be. As far as horizontal accuracy, I can shoot a target from 50 feet away and the BB will be no more than an inch off. This is good for a gun with only 230 fps shooting a .12 gram BB. I imagine that if you use heavier ammo, the accuracy will improve to at least a nine star rating.

DESIGN: 10/10
The Stinger P9T is a very well designed pistol. All the levers and buttons are in a comfortable position, and the clip is easy to load. I can switch the safety off, fire a round, switch the safety back on, and eject the clip all with my right hand. The only thing I need my left hand for is cocking the pistol. The trigger is in a normal position. The clip release lever is accessible from both sides of the gun, so if you can still eject the clip with a left-hand grip. The safety switch is on the right side of the pistol, so you can only access it with your index finger with a right-hand grip. The pistol has an orange tip that signifies a non-lethal weapon. When the safety is on, you see a white dot; when it is off you see a red dot.

MAGAZINE/CLIP: 8/10
The clip is well designed and fits in the pistol like they were meant to be together. The clip easily fits approximately 15 6mm BB's. You can stuff 16 BB's in, but that might lead to other problems, so I recommend sticking with 15 max. To load the clip, you pull the spring down, via a tiny plastic stub, and "hook" it in a little notch that holds it down. Towards the bottom of the spring is a hole in which you dump the BB's into while the clip is upside-down. After the 15th round is pushed in, the spring automatically pops out of the notch and pushes the BB's towards the top of the clip. The only reason that I rated the clip with eight stars instead of ten is because there is no reservoir on the clip.

HOLSTER: 6/10
The holster has a loop on one side that can fit a three inch belt through it. On the opposite side is a Velcro strip for the Velcro strap to stick to. The pistol fits snugly into the holster, and will not slip out on its own even without the strap on. On the bottom of the holster there is an opening, so you can see the orange tip and look down the barrel while the pistol is holstered. You can slide the magazine into the gun while it is holstered, but you cannot eject it because the clip eject lever, safety switch, and trigger are blocked. I rated the holster with seven stars because the Velcro strap was about an inch too long and the holster is a little too tight. My brother got a two-tone camo and clear Stinger P9T, and his holster fits my gun perfectly, and the strap is a perfect length.

Overall, this is a great gun for the price. I am going to have fun using this as a side arm with my shotgun. I hope this review helps you find the right air soft gun and happy shopping!
