Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman Fortify Single Action Army CO2 BB Revolver is a single action only trigger, so you will have to cock the hammer back before each shot which does take away most of the trigger pull length and weight, making it short and light and easy to shoot. Perfect for slowed down accurate shot placement, but less effective as an action shooter.
Accuracy: First up for our velocity or fps test of the Crosman Fortify Single Action Army CO2 BB Revolver, we shot 5 rounds through our Chronograph. The slowest fps was 359 and the fastest shot hit an fps of 376, this result averaged 369 fps which was a bit under the claimed “up to” 420 fps from Crosman, still a usable velocity for shooting pop cans and the likes at 30-40 feet away. The temperature in the Sea Can was about 20 degrees Celsius which is around 68 degrees Fahrenheit, so a good temperature to get middle of the road performance from a CO2 Airgun like the Crosman Fortify Single Action Army CO2 BB Revolver. We then placed our paper target on the pellet trap 30 feet downrange and using a semi rested shooting position (hands rested on a sandbag up front and sitting on a stool in the back), we shot 10 rounds into the target and was able to get a respective 2 inch shot grouping shooting in Single Action of course. We did notice the Revolver liked to shoot a bit to the left but in terms of hight it was right on the mark.
Build Quality: When it comes to the build for the Crosman Fortify Single Action Army CO2 BB Revolver, there is not a lot to write home about. It is basically a mostly plastic gun with some metal parts internally like the barrel, trigger, hammer and CO2 area. The Crosman Fortify has that lower cost Airgun, two halves, screwed together build which generally looks better on the side without the screws showing. As it is mostly plastic it is very light in the hand at around a pound or so. Overall there are not a lot of moving parts so it should be reliable enough just because of this. All the mechanical components do what they need to do and feel solid enough.
Realism: The Crosman Fortify Single Action Army CO2 BB Revolver at a glance looks a lot like a Colt Single Action Army Revolver, it has the same shape and size but the weight is very slight. The lack of actual bullet holes in the cylinder looking from the front of the revolver also takes away from the realism. We guess we are really used to the new generation revolvers with working cylinders and real loadable shells but these guns are more expensive and hold less ammo as they are genuine to the 6 shooter capacity.
Pros:
Cons:
Comments: The Crosman Fortify Single Action Army CO2 BB Revolver is a completely new concept in design over what we have become use to in todays Single Action Army Revolvers. We want to hold our opinion on it till we actually shoot it as that could make or break this one for me. Maybe if it is a really fun shooter then we can excuse some of the shortcomings it has as a Replica Revolver but we guess we will see in a little bit when we get to our Field Test Shooting Review for it. For under $100 it may be worth it to some to try out especially if you don't already own a Single Action Army Revolver in your Airgun collection.

In this performance Field Test Shooting Video of the Crosman Fortify Single Action Army CO2 BB Revolver, I find out what the velocity in fps is using a brand new standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge shooting 4.5mm Steel BB’s through my Chronograph. I then setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and shoot 10 rounds into it in Single Action to see how tight of a grouping I can get out of the box.
