Umarex Colt Peacemaker Revolver Single Action Army Six-Shooter .177 Caliber Air Pistol

I was raised on single action revolvers. It started out when I got a pair of cap guns resembling Peacemakers for my 6th Birthday. I cleaned up the neighborhood. I ridded the community of bandits, bank robbers, rustlers and other two-legged varmint. It sometimes got me in trouble, but I was fearless and well armed. Later on, I got my first real gun. It was a Ruger Single Six. A few years later, I afforded a pair of Colt SAA in .45 Colt, followed by a few more. I still have 3 of these.These days, I don't get to the range much. I had bought a few air guns, mostly the CO2 type. I can shoot these in the house using a good pellet trap which I have 3 of them. The other day, while ogling and cleaning my precious Peacemakers, it occurred to me that Umarex makes these in .177 cal pellet, CO2 powered. I did some research and turned around and ordered one. I was a little skeptical, but the price was not prohibitive.On the day it came, I fell in love. This CO2 powered Colt SAA by far exceeded my expectations. I am amazed by its accuracy. On mine, the sights are right on. The ejection rod is functional but not really needed. In fact, when the gun is canted, muzzle up, the cartridges fall out by themselves. I dropped the first one on the floor, not expecting this. I got used to it.On the real Colt, the base pin can be removed in order to take the cylinder out of the frame for cleaning. On the Umarex replica one needs tools to do so. But with this gun that is not really necessary, and I do not recommend you mess with this. Just leave the cylinder in its place. I also ordered more cartridges to supplement the 6 silver colored ones it came with. I bought 3 sets of the gold/brass colored ones. They function just like the silver ones, but they cost less. Now, these cartridges do not resemble the actual .45 Colt ammo. Instead, they look a lot like .357 Mags. This does not bother me. If I want to show off I stick the Umarex into one of my Western style holsters/belts the loops of which are filled with .45 Colt cartridges.This revolver looks and feels like the real thing, and it weighs and balances the same. The grips are not like any I ever saw and laid my hands on, but they are very nice looking. I just pretend they are custom made which they are, in a sense. Cosmetically, this gun looks amazingly like the real thing. There is one visible deviation from the real article. On the grip frame, right where the hammer and the frame meet, there is some black in color polymer type insert. I guess this has to do with it being a CO2 powered replica. There is nothing one can do about this. I can live with it.I tested it on my 8 meter range in my shop. I use RWS Meisterkugeln pellets, the only ones I ever use as they have always worked for me, for decades. My first group of 6 shots were right on target and I could cover the hole with a Nickel. I guess I was a little flakey from all the excitement about this new gun. The next day, I shot 3 more groups of six rounds all of them I could easily cover with a dime. Well, I have decades of experience with all kinds of air guns and fire arms including US Army MP Corps for nigh 8 years.Overall, I am very very pleased with this version of a Peacemaker. I can only recommend to all who have knack for it. You won't be sorry.

I was hesitant to pay the same I paid for my Heritage 22lr Rough Rider. (real deal) But it ended up being well worth it. Weight is same, the sites the same, identical.. Thats why I wanted it, practice with it, and go to the range with my 22LR and shoot better. This is accurate, quiet, and awesome trigger. Very light. I just load the pellets into the cartridge, no need to remove, actually way slower.....Only negative is...when you put the safety on, it LOCKS everything. Should be only the trigger. You have to 1/2 cock the hammer, and load, then carefully pull trigger and let the hammer down....Make SURE you are pointing into the ground. I had a pellet come out.. I now, Make a point, to load it, and dont point and aim, until I am ready to shoot, only then FULLY pull the trigger back to shoot....safety 1st. I recomment it though...

I have genuine Colt Peacemakers. With the exception of the grips being about 1/2 an inch longer this BB gun is virtually identical to an actual Colt. My original Colts are in a fitted case and this gun fits perfectly. It is about the same weight and balance. The barrel, cylinder, and frame are the same dimensions. It even has the patent years on the frame. The hammer when cocked makes the four distinctive clicks of the original, but the sound is slightly deeper. Loading and unloading is the same as on an original.One thing you have to keep in mind is that this BB gun has a hair trigger. There is no discernible "pull". The slightest pressure fires the gun. So cocking the hammer while drawing could result in a BB embedded in your foot! I suggest you don't cock it until it is safely downrange.You can fan the gun if you like. That tends to be hard on the mechanism of any gun, though. The balance is good for twirling the gun. I suggest you practice over a soft surface, especially since the grips are very smooth.I set up 6 cans suspended from strings and at 7 yards found the gun to be very accurate. With a two-handed grip I had no misses. One-handed my accuracy was good, but the sights on the nickel finish are very shiny and I had a bit more difficulty keeping them exactly aligned one-handed. I actually got several cans from the hip! Fortunately, because it's cheap to shoot BB guns I was able to try that and a few other things like a fast draw and fanning. I don't waste money on real ammunition for things I'd never do in a real life scenario. It's great fun.This gun is as close to the real thing as you can come with the benefit of being far cheaper and inexpensive to shoot.I have two of these and they are equally accurate and function identically.

My son wanted this so bad and seeing that Umarex licensed from Colt it seemed as though it would be pretty legit. He spent money he saved up as well as Christmas money and we ordered it.WOW, it's got some real weight to it like a real revolver. I was thoroughly impressed because I was expecting an upgrade from a walmart toy yet it feels like a .38 special revolver. It shoots nicely, it isn't too loud, obviously no recoil, and looks good!He REALLY likes it! Highly recommend if you're on the fence.
