I just purchased a Crosman Classic 1377 and was really excited to get shooting with it. I intend to hunt and eat squirrel. I was originally going to get the .22, but I think they were either out of stock so my next choice was the .177. I have seen videos of people hunting with this and have heard the reviews. However, I just read that the product contains one or more chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects. I also bought some pellets and didn't realize they were lead until I brought it home to look at. I am going to take them back and get non lead pellets. Unfortunately, not only do the lead pellets contain this chemical, but it says that his Air Pistol contains it as well. Why the hell would they make it like this? This is completely ridiculous. I wanted to do some hunting and now I am scared to because I don't want to poison myself with this.
