Heavy, feels nice in the hand

Cons
Mine will not fire steel bb’s , plastic bb’s are fine, but the steel ones do not come out .? It’s deffinetly not the air soft version, no orange tip and it says 2.7 (I think) Jules near the safety button ?! Any thoughts why please . Thanks

Well... The gun is quite impressive... Just one rather large problem developed after about 50-100 shots... The hinge that the cylinder is attached to... The cast cylinder area that the hinge rod goes thru has too much play in it making it wobbley... That makes it not ingage with the part that pushes cylinder up to align gor next shot... It wont push it because the play doesnt allow contact with the mechanism that advances it, just stays in last position... What a disapointmentI was hoping that I could enjoy as much as the colt revolver I bought... I have shot HUNDREDS from it without mishaps. No more revovers gor me... I'll stick to single shot from now o... No such problems... Less cheap mechanics involved.

Pros
When it worked... It was a great accurate, powerful gun

Cons
The cylinder housing and casting loosens and will not forward to mext chamber, rendering pistol usless, unless you roll by hand... The curewould he a brass bushing where the ejector rod passes thru cylinder AND ESPEBIALLY wheyecyle? Der is attached to pistols block just above the trigger and to the left... Thdt one is the WEAK LINK !!!! F ix that and no more promlems.. Ever.!!

I've enjoyed this pistol for several months now, and shot it again today. It's really very nice. I think the extra length in the barrel gives it more accuracy, at least it does for me, over my two other revolvers that have 6" barrels. I'm using a red dot on this one and don't find the gun heavy at all. It is muzzle heavy a bit, but it adds to the solid feel. It's right on the money off a rest, but OK two-hand as well. I'm getting about 12 loads with it, 72 shots on one cartridge. So far it has shot all brands of BBs with no issues. Never a jam, never any issues. I like it and recommend it.

Pros
Quality construction, accurate, nice trigger, SA and DA too. Revolver experience makes it a fun shooter.

Cons
I dislike the fiddly grip attachments on all of these pistols.

I've had my airgun for a little while now and i am satisfied with this gun. Its accurate and awsome to shoot. I had one problem with it. The hammer is loose... It wobbles pretty bad and it seems to hit the right side of the hammer when i shoot in single action. Idk im really trying to find a way to fix this because other then that it would be one of the best co2 guns i had. The hammer being loose like that really makes it a problem for me. I just hate taking it out and hearing the hammer and other people notice it too. All i hear from people is what is the clanking piece of crap. Get rid of that.. I dont take it out too much these days, but if there was a way to fix the hammer to sit on place i wouldnt be so edgy taking it out..

Pros
Looks real

Cons
Its honestly not worth the money with all the loose problems. I wouldnt recommend getting this unless there was a guid or easy way to fix these clanking noises the gun makes while holding it.

By BryanUSADecember 19, 2013

Upon first impression, I must say that this revolver is a beautiful addition to my collection. It is nicely crafted and very realistic with both weight and feel. It is an intimidating gun and I love the fact that the shells are removable. That really makes it a fun gun because it adds to the realism. I own the 8", the 6" and recently purchased a 2" for my collection and they all look great.

Pros
Came with a speed loader and case.

Cons
I would prefer that the barrel was wider to look more realisitc and it kills me to have so much writing on the gun.

By Cris E.July 30, 2013

I have had mine a week. Solid as a rock. Sad for the people with barrel issues. My hammer seems crooked too, but I think its in the casting of the part. Not really an issue for me. Super accurate too. Can ring the bell at 25 meters. I want them in all sizes and colors now. I'm obsessed with all airguns though, and want them all.

Pros
Weight. Accuracy. Happiness. So much fun to reload. Powerful.

Excellent shooter! Easy to change cartridges. Wish the cylinder swung out a little further to make the speedloader fit better. Other than that, nice pistol! Totally satisfied with purchase.

Pros

Dan Wesson is a really good pistol. Looks like the center fire pistol. Natural pointer. It was very accurate out of the box. Very powerful. It is worth the price. I have always loved wheel guns:-). I plan to buy the Snubbie next.

Pros
The price was just right. Authenticity is outstanding. It handles just like a real one. Single Action trigger was okay. Love the wide hammer easy to thumb it back. Really liked the shells and speed loader. Love the fact that made replica with different barrel lengths. If you love to shoot revolvers this is one pistol to buy.

Cons
Double Action trigger was stiff. I'm hoping that is will improve as it breaks in. The attachment for the scope mount isn't easy. Too Bad that hey didn't make it with convertible barrels like the old Dan Wessons/

Does it shoot metal bb or plastic bb because I bought one of these and it only shot plastic bb and does this one have a orange tip

asked Emmanuel

yes this one shoots metal bbs. no it doesn't have an orange tip,that would designate it being a airsoft gun, wich is what you probably have allready purchased. there are several vidios on youtube about this gun. this is where i get imformation on items i haven't experienced. i hope this was helpful.

Jerry from USA

It is full metal, the handle is also wrapped with some very tough rubber for a good grip.

Chris from Canada

Yes the whole gun is a nice durable metal. The only thing that isn't is the grip. The grip is a nice abs sorta plastic that feels good in your hand. I hope this helped you and the gun is absolutely wonderful

dillon from USA

kenneth from USA

yes it is metal- as far as i know- steel. the gun has some weight to it. hope this helps.

Michael from USA

was the gun brand new and not refurbished and does it have a orange tip on it?

asked Ronald from USA

Ron, This particular air pistol is not refurbished and does not have an orange tip because it is not an airsoft gun, it fires steel bbs. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

Scott from USA

Does the Dan Wesson Co2 revolver shoot medal bbs and pellets?

asked David

David, The Dan Wesson Co2 revolver shoots steel bbs only. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

Scott from USA

Am I able to use these guns off of this site to play Airsoft games, and be able to shoot some one in good sport with out hurting them badly?

asked Tyler D

Tyler, We have plenty of airsoft guns on our website, however, the Dan Wesson co2 bb 45 Revolver Air Pistol is not a toy. It fires steel bbs and could lead to serious injury. One way to spot a airsoft gun is its orange tip. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

Scott from USA

Does this gun ship to New Brunswick,Canada ?

asked ryley

Try checking out at the sight and if there is a restriction you will get a warning before you purchase the product. There are a lot of different regulations for all different countries and they are always changing, so we have set up an automatic warring if there is a product, based on your location, that is forbidden. Shipping price always changes, but you should be able to see the final price before you complete your purchase.

Scott from USA

I saw one review where the owner said he was using .177 lead balls in his gun. Is this recommended? Will they damage the gun if used?

asked George from USA

Lead ball can be used, and provide pretty much the same accuracy as steel BB. There are also a few vids on YouTube that detail how to increase the power. It's not all that hard, but requires disassembly of the the CO2 cartridge chamber and parts of the trigger assembly. Not too hard, just have to be careful not to let parts fly

Thomas from Mexico

I'm general lead balls in a smooth bore barrel will provide less accuracy, so I wouldn't recommend it. I get great accuracy with the daisy zinc coated BB's in mine with an electronic point sight mounted on it. The lead won't damage the barrel. However, so it's worth a try. In reality, no two guns will shoot the same with the same ammo so it's worth trying different types to see what your particular gun likes.

Jared from USA

is this capable for .177 pellets?

asked gregory from USA

No, it only shoots BB's.

Scott from USA

How durable is this?

asked mason lee

Very sturdy. You can drop it 1000 times and it will still work fine.

james from USA

do you ship these guns out to south africa and if so how much will the full price be of shipping a 25 pack of gas and the gun cost if you do ship to south africa do you have a courier or post?

asked kyle

Try checking out at the sight and if there is a restriction you will get a warning before you purchase the product. There are a lot of different regulations for all different countries and they are always changing, so we have set up an automatic warring if there is a product, based on your location, that is forbidden.

You will have to find a supplier their to buy Co2 from.

Scott from USA

How does the revolver have bullets if its for bb's

asked Person

To Whom It May Concern, Each shell is loaded with one steel BB. The shells are loaded into the gun's cylinder. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Sincerely, Airgun Depot Customer Care

Steve from USA

do you have 6 inch dan wesson bb revolver?

asked harry

No, sorry we do not have a Dan Wesson 6 inch revolver.

Scott from USA

how many BB will come with this air gun ?

asked Abdullah

Includes: Revolver, Detachable Weaver Rail, Speedloader and 12 Shells *Each shell is loaded with one steel BB. The shells are loaded into the gun's cylinder.

Scott from USA

How does it shoot? Does it perform excellent? Will it last a long time? Are you pleased with the speed of the BB? In summary, what do you like and what do you dislike?

asked Denny Knudsen

Do the hammers feel loose on ALL the Dan Wesson co2's? I just got the 6 inch silver and when it's not on safety or cocked back, the hammer is fairly loose. When fired, it doesn't seem to actually strike very hard (not that it needs too). However, it makes it look weak and the looseness is very apparent as it connects.

asked Jay

I have exactly the same issue with my 6" silver revolver. It seems common for this series (from 2.5" to 8") but does look odd especially when I compare to a cheaper Crosman pellet 357 revolver which has a very sturdy hammer.

Vladimirs from Canada

I used to own 44 mag. Dan Wesson. At that time I was in my 20's. I hated wheel guns, so I of disposed it. SUCKS!!! Stupid of me. I think it also have a interchangeable barrels if I'm not mistaken. My question is CO2 wise, I have encountered so many problems w/ the rubber seal even when using pellet gun oil. Like the MP5 HK, Umarex Glock looking bb gun, and colt. I do love the looks of this gun, I just hope it will not end up as paper weight just like my other ones. Has anyone encountered the same problems as I did?

asked Jojo from USA

The problems you encounterd with this gun are very common to co2 pistols with a srew type seating device. There are things that you can do to help alleviate this. First the pellgun oil on the seal does help the seal from sticking to the cartridge, but it also makes it soft and plyable,this is good. try not to over tightin the seating screw, as this will damage the seal. After puncturing and seating the catridge back off the seating srew 1/4 turn, this allways works for me and I dont have seal problems.I hope this was helpful.

kenneth from USA

when you will have silver Dan Wesson Co2 45 Revolver Airpistol?

asked Enver

I am sorry but we don't have any orders for Silver Dan wessons any time in the near future.

Scott from USA

can you add a laser site or other optics for accuracy.

asked marshall

this gun doesn't have any rails for mounting lasers and other optics.

Scott from USA

is it a multi shot airgun or a single shot n hows the working mechanism of the gun

asked neil

This gun can be fired multiple times without cocking the gun. that's all multi-shot means.

Scott from USA

This gun can be fired multiple times without cocking the gun. that's all multi-shot means.

Scott from USA

Scott from USA

When will there be more of these and where would i be able to get one?

asked cody

Hello, unfortunately, we ordered more of the dan wessons in February and we still have not received our shipment. We really don't know exactly when we will have them in stock again.

Scott from USA

do you have it in silver

asked jake walker

No.

Steve from USA

How many bullets can it fire with each canister of Co2

asked Alexander Christensen

The description says it has a high efficiency power management, you can believe it. I've consistently gotten 96+ (12 speed loads) high velocity shots. Absolutely the most fun and real action air pistol I have fired. You don't need to over tighten the CO2 and I've learned my lesson (other air guns) on keeping seals lubricated. Enjoy!

Thomas from USA

With each 12g Co2 canister I've managed to fire off on average 73 to 79 shots, after that the gun will either skip shots (the BB will stay in the shell) or shoot low pressure shots. Not as many shots that I would have liked to get per each Co2 canister compared to other guns, but still a much better gun out there none the less.

Sergey from USA

Around 75/canister if the gun is shot same day.

Stavrosx

I've never actually counted, but I would say 50 - 60 shots before the BBs start dropping. I shoot targets, and it's very obvious when a canister is on its way out. Hope this helps. RC

Randall from USA

58 shots and counting

Ken from USA

Can this pistol shoot 6mm paintballs? (Note: These are supposed to be the same size as a 'standard' airsoft round)

asked adamt

No this is a .177 cal BB gun. it will only shoot the smaller metal bbs.

Steve from USA

I HAVE BEEN DOING omega research on this revolver , my biggest question is , can u put airsoft bbs into the tip of the shells besides putting copperhead bbs? Like for instance crossman .20 or .25 bbs? I was looking forward to be using it when i play airsoft with my team and it wuldnt be pleasant shooting my friends with metal bbs :\

asked brayan from USA

This gun will only shoot the metal bbs and not the airsoft bbs. Please play safe while playing airsoft as metal bb guns can break skin and cause real harm to those you would play against. This can also get you in alot of trouble with you local law enforcement as metal bb guns count as a real weapon in some areas. I would recomend taking a look at some of the airsoft revolvers that we have to offer, you can find them under the airsoft tab and clicking airsoft pistols link.

Steve from USA

can it also shoot pellets?

asked matt

Nope, bb's only.

Conor

No, it cant becasue this is only for bbs.

arturo from USA

No this is a bb pistol.

Steve from USA

Do you think it would be suitable for small game plinking? Squirrels, perhaps?

asked Jesus

I wouldn't use this for squirrels, but perfect for plinking.

Conor

while this is a vary nice gun it is not really sutible for hunting or pest controll if hunting or pest control is what your looking for then i personaly would recomend the 1377C American Classic Air Pistol from crossman i own one and i have used it very efectivly on squrls and racoons.

William from USA

Can you please calculate shipping to South Africa Sasolburg 1947 Thanx Jacques [email protected]

asked Jacques

Thank you for you interest. For question about international ordering/shipping please email us at [email protected]. This so we can better help you.

Steve from USA

Hi, how much does it cost to ship it to Italy? Thanks a lot!

asked M. Nannini

Is this a fun weapon to shoot?

asked Wayne

Yes, absolutley this is very fun to shoot with because it shoots like it was a real weapon.

arturo from USA

Yes, these guns are awesome and fun, if you can handle the low(er) power compared to the real thing! ;)

Carter from USA

is this a good gun to shoot from a far distance

asked luis

The farthest you could hit something with this would be 30yds or so.

Conor

good for short and middle, i haven't try it on long range yet but this is still a great gun for this price

Jimmy from USA

Here is a general question or two for any DW CO2 Revolver owner ... have you seen or heard anything at all, even an ugly rumor, regarding the 8" in silver? (Chrome-ish?) And, secondly, are there any of you who would give up your 8" in exchange for a 6" if it were possible? I am wondering just how much in love with the 8" you really are. You can tell that the version that I would much rather have is the 8" in Silver. But, so far, I can't even determine if there even is such a beast. So, any comments would be appreciated. John

asked John Emm from USA

I would exchange my 8" for a 6", I think the chrome / silver finish looks great, While I'm very happy with the 8" i think a slightly smaller barrel would be more comfortable and they are too close in size for me to justify getting both, I think I will get the 2.5" in silver when it is available.

Rohan from USA

We are looking at bringing in more of the Dan Wesson pistols early next year. I'm not sure if they have 8 inch in silver but we will look into it.

Scott from USA

I spend alot of time on various forums on air guns at present there are no plans that I can find for the 8" chrome, I have the 8" gun metal speckle tone gray version at least this is the color I call it. If you can get one of these I highly recommend it. Gene C
