  • Code: 17612 · .177 · 426 fps
Out of Stock
This Dan Wesson CO2 pellet revolver is extremely realistic and has won a huge following. The swing-out cylinder holds 6 shells. Load one pellet into each shell. When you've shot all 6 pellets- use the gun's ejector rod to push out all the spent shells. A speedloader is included and makes reloads a cinch. Consider mounting the included Weaver rail and putting a dot sight on your Dan Wesson pellet revolver. You might see a significant increase in accuracy! These revolvers are fun to shoot, but they also have a very practical purpose maintaining firearm proficiency. If you can't get to the range or you can't find loaded ammo for your Dan Wesson firearm then this pellet gun is the next best thing.

I purchased the 8" version to complete my collection. I now own all the models in both pellet and bb, including all of the 715 pellet models. The first thing you need to do is get rid of the shells that come with the gun (i.e. the type you unscrew the tip and insert the pellet, then you screw the tip back on) Use them for target practice or a paper weight. You then need to order the pellet shells that go in the 715 model. Several companies put out these shells and they are all the same (Dan Wesson 715 shells, Bear River/Black Ops exterminator, Crosman SNR 357 Pellet shells to name a few) These are rear loading shells and there is no reason to remove them from the cylinder. You will increase the FPS by around 75-100 FPS. Shooting 7.0 RWS Basic wad cutters I average 450FPS, a high of around 500FPS, but most of my shots were in the 400's. The only reason this got 4 stars is that the pellet shells that come with the gun are horrific!!

Pros
Once you use the correct pellet shells, this gun shoots hard and very accurate. I put a pistol scope on mine and from 16 yards all the way to 25 yards, I can hit empty/expended shotgun shell casings (I emphasized "Empty") on a consistent basis. From the standard 10 meters you can shoot nickel size groups with an rare flyer. All the Dan Wesson guns are a lot of fun. Also the finish on the 8" pellet model is like a satin black with a nice sheen, in comparison to the 8" BB version which is light a flat gray/black.

Cons
The Pellet shells included with the gun are a complete waste of money!! The grips could be improved similar to the grips on the 715 models, but I don't see that changing. The 715 model is much more authentic to the true Dan Wesson. This model is more like a traditional Smith & Wesson (cylinder release), but they don't make an 8" in the 715 pellet version.

This pistol equipped with a dot sight will put a pellet where you aim it. I can get sub dime sized groups at 21 feet. The fit and finish is great except for the wobble in the hammer when not cocked. The shells work ok but I don't understand why they would design it so that it has to be disassembled to load a pellet. Why not a push in from the rear like the Umarex type. Also a bit more power would be nice...you would expect a pistol with an 8 inch barrel to get around 500 fps with light pellets.

Pros
Very accurate.

Cons
Slow to reload shells.

By Andrew from Canada on 2014-07-19 13:33:51 Things I liked:This Revolver is just plain Fantastic, The quality of material & workmanship is second to none, The only thing(or two) that would be the cherry on this sundae, is having it available in .22 as well as giving it an increase in muzzle velocity to at least 495fps. This gun was put out on the market with very little available in the way of accessories, Extra "Shell's" won't be available 'til sometime in Sept,. and no word as of yet on spare "Speed-Loaders", The availability of a holster that fits the gun like a glove is a Big Plus, although I would of made it more "MOLLE" friendly with other ways of attaching it to your gear other than a "Belt-Loop" that doesn't look like it could take very much abuse. Things I would have changed:Increase the muzzle velocityt, for such a fine looking Air Pistol the stated m/v should be correct(or at least very close to it), The Air Gun Market is in Desperate need of a .22 caliber offering that has more than single-shot capabilities, Other than the Daisy 622x that was a fantastic .22 caliber "Repeating" pistol,I know that if a pistol like that was available I'd probobly buy half a dozen,LOL,Well at least 2, This pistol vamped up a little bit would fit that niche quite nicely, Maybe something for the boys in the design dept to consider. What others should know:I found that the "Shells" are not pellet fussy, and pellets of varying length may be used without fear of "jamming", Try and stay in the 5-8gr,. range, anything higher and you'll start lobbing your rounds at your target, with that being said, I found this pistol just loves Crosman Premeir Super-Points in lead with 6 shots covered by a quarter at 10 Meters(off-hand), In "Alloy" H&N Baracuda Greens came out on top over H&N FTT Greens, The Crosman SSP's at only 4.0gr,. gave me a great m/v approaching 500fps, This is what I mean by Increasing the M/V for this pistol, as an example when I shoot my Crosman "Vigilante" with the same pellet my M/V is well above 500fps, approaching 530fps, and with excellent accuracy. All in All The "Dan Wesson" Pellet Revolver is an utter Joy to own, shoot, and I'm sure it will become the showpiece of anyones collection. Plan on buying Spare Shells, and speedloaders, Once you start shooting this beauty, You won't want to stop.

Pros
Extremely Realistic!

Cons
Time it takes for re-loading shells
