Colt Peacemaker SAA Pellet Revolver, Nickel

So I bought 2 of these. OMG what fun, If you want to try CAS or already do and want to actually shoot in your backyard, this is it. The weight and feel are very similar to my Smoke wagon 357 CAS pistols. If I had these years ago I would place in the top ten always. Way too much fun with these.

This gun looks and feels right. It handles well and the accuracy is all you can expect with the primitive (authentic) sights. Even my wife likes it!

I have one of these with a weathered finish and different medallions - otherwise they are the same. NRA Basic Pistol Shooting courses require the demonstration and subsequent firing of the three general types of handguns: Single Action Revolver, Double Action Revolver and Semi-Auto. This pellet gun with its "cartridges" goes a long way toward fulfilling the SA in the classroom and can be shot when a firearm would not be appropriate. It doesn't replace the mandatory live fire requirements but in the classroom it does more than a "blue gun." For the practical purpose of sending a pellet downrange accurately there are plenty of air pistols that do a much better job, several at lower price with decent adjustable sights and much faster reloads. My top rating is based upon its use to me as an adult training device. Several Double Actions from AirGun Depot fulfill the same role. Same for some CO2 "blowback" semi-autos which are primarily smooth bore BB guns. In practical shooting terms using CO2 to operate a slide (blowback) is just a waste of gas. But for introducing novices to this type pistol it can be very effective and reduce the amount of live rounds needed to achieve the course requirements. As noted elsewhere grips for a CO2 gun have to allow quick access to the CO2 bottle and as such are generally the weakest component, some more so than others. These are among the weakest and most prone to damage from carelessness. Handle them in a deliberate manner, keep 'em out of harm's way when dismounted, don't get it a rush and they should last.

Looks and feel great. You can't really do the spin they they do in the movies, it's front heavy. And it feels small in my giant man hands.

I don't own the real thing but from what I can tell, this is as close to the real thing as you can get! Fit and finish are excellent. Weight and balance is amazing. It shoots really well. Mine seems to be shooting to the left a bit but that's only the first 24 shots. I haven't cleaned the barrel yet so I'm hoping it will get better once I do.

It's darn cold outside. Too cold to practice Cowboy Action Shooting. So a CO2 powered Colt SAA was just about perfect. Shooting in the basement during the cold winter months. I wanted a pellet version and when I saw a refurb for a great price I jumped on it. The revolver arrived and there isn't a mark on it. Perfect condition. Works great and is amazingly accurate. At 25' I can keep all shots in a quarter! I purchased twelve extra cartridges which make reloading much easier. Just wish I had bought two at such a great price. Fun gun, well built. Feels like my real Colt revolvers.

This is a well made pellet gun. Weighs and feels like a real colt. Great for practicing with. I would recommend it to anyone.

An exact copy of the famous 1873 Colt SA Cal..45 at a fraction of the cost and you can shoot it inside the house...Out of the box at 20 feet I could hold a group about the size of a quarter by the point cock and fire method of old Cowboy shooting style. It like the the Premier Super Match Pellets. The gun is easy on CO2 consumption, got over 100 shots out of the first Caplet. Even the last shot in the caplet gave good accuracy, the power drop of was hardly noticable. If you have always wanted a Colt SA, but could not afford one this is the time for you to enjoy the look and feel of holding and shooting one. Do not be hesitant to buy refurbished from AGD, I can not tell the difference from new boxed guns, except in the check book balance figure. I have the BB model as well as the NRA Commemorative 2d Amendment model and all are good shooters..We have a target trap set up in my sons game room and we shoot the Colt SA instead of throwing darts. .Shooting inside is important fo me since I am 88+ and can't get out to the range like I used to do........What a hoot so shoot!!!!!.

Very nice replica pistol out of the box. Great four click cocking, just like the firearm. Same weight, same grip, same great looks. I'm really happy I bought this one along with six extra shells. Not sure I will shoot it often however. It has some 'features' I'm not crazy about. For one thing, the loading experience isn't as much fun as I thought it would be. Maybe as therapy, but not as fun as say a Dan Wesson or Colt with speedloaders. Same process, but the one-at-a-time kind of got old for me. It will be a one at a time CO2 cartridge experience as opposed to the two or three I use with my other revolvers. Shoots 3 inches high out of the box using RWS Basics. That's just not right. I'm going to add a piece to the front sight to make it more accurate. Removing the rear grip to access the CO2 is easy, but the locator tab at the top of the grip is flimsy. Hope it lasts. I prefer a separate wrench instead of the built-in wrench in the handle. CO2 use is maybe 60-70 good shots at 75 degrees in my garage. Overall a looker, not a target gun. Buy it because it's cool, not because it's a great shooter. You're a daisy if you do.

Feels like the real thing. Shoots a little high but easy to get used to. Fun to shoot. Hint, buy extra pellet cartridges!

I am very impressed with the fit and finish of the revolver plus the weight giving the gun the feel of the original Colt. Add to that the fun of loading a realistic ammo load to revolver six chamber ( I bought 12 extra shells with the gun) and that enhances the vision of loading & shooting the real Colt. As for shooting the .177 pellet packs a accurate wallop from about 60 feet from my target. This gun is no toy & its capable of small pest control in my case chipmunks. I find that after about 36 rounds wallop & accuracy drop off on one co2 load. but if you wish you could stretch it out to 50 rounds to pop cans. I so far have run a little over 100 rounds & am satisfied with its performance.

I emphasize pellet because it does make a big difference in accuracy and therefore entertainment. I've loved this gun from the time I picked it up and felt it's weight till I found the right pellet for accuracy. Your pellet may be different from mine but I found the light pellets to be less accurate. Shooting out to 10 yards is fun now that I placed a paint dot at all of the points of the sights. Most pistols as most of you know are good for 5 yards. I guess short 3-5" barrels are hard to make accurate. idk. Cartridge replacement is a neat affair that lessens the image of a toy gun. Replacing the pellets is a slow affair that needs to be enjoyed. Relax slow down and take your time this is for enjoyment it's not a race. No speed loaders here. It's my therapy and it's effective.

I bought a refurbished one and this is one of the most beautiful airguns I have ever seen. Accuracy out to about 40 feet is good. So, you can't go wrong with this one. Showing it off to friends and they could not tell that it was an air pistol. I really love it.

After seeing an article on this pistol in Gunslinger mag. I decided to give it a try. What a cool air pistol. It is easy to use and is so accurate. I really enjoy shooting this more than my real pistols. The package arrive early and all that I ordered was there.
