Page 13 - Colt Peacemaker SAA Nickel Reviews

Just had this one day and I am impressed! The fit and finish is excellent and it has a great feel. The first CO2 cart was a little wild but it settled in quickly. I was shooting really decent groups at ~18 feet in the basement and that was with some old oxidized copper Crosmans. I found I could load the BB''s into the cartridges easily without ejecting them.

Nothing at this time

It's great fun to shoot especially if you are a fan of single action! A great value IMHO.

Nice replica having shot the real deal. Nice weight and shot ~ 144 BBs on one CO2 cartridge. Very accurate and fun to shoot. Nice having allen wrench in handle for CO2 cartridge changes. Impressed with feel and overall ergonomics.

Do have a problem. When half cocked, cant always rotate cylinder to unload/load cartridges. Half to cock, un cock several times until it will rotate.Hope this will work its self out as its very frustrating.

Extra Cartridges on back order, but appreciate Pyramyd shipping the gun. Lets hope loading issue works out after a few more hundred BBs.

Wow! Solid construction, beautifully finished, faultless operation. I really believe this is a superb product. Accuracy was good, with 7 yard groups keeping all shots inside of two inches and that includes those I pulled or failed to get good alignment with the sights. When I did my best, it would group a cylinder full of shots using standard Daisy BB's into a tad over an inch. The sight picture was pleasing. The contour of the front sight caused it to appear as a silver bead when settled into the notch in the frame rear. I used a figure 8 hold with the bull being the top half and the bead the bottom. The regulation was close, but after a lot of shots I could determine it was actually at about 11 O'clock about 3/4" out of the center. No tin can would survive that. I may very well find a different brand of BB that will improve upon this. I am very pleased.

I am cautious about using the provided Allen tool attached to the inside of the left grip panel. It is provided to tighten down the screw at the base of the grip for piercing the CO2 cartridge. It may be adequate, but I will use a separate tool rather than risk breaking my grip.

The finish on this gun is awesome. The surface is polished mirror smooth, totally devoid of any seams or marks. The "bluing" is a deep mixture of dark purplish blue with rainbow hews at different light angles. It is not mottled but has all the coloring of a heated case-colored application. The plastic grips resemble Ivory pretty closely. The action has a very solid feel and smooth movement. There are very positive stops at each chamber of the cylinder. Timing is right on. The mechanics operate almost identically to the original colt revolver. The trigger is very smooth, somewhat long but lighter than expected and very predictable. When cocking the gun the smoothness of the action is awesome: no catches or roughness at all. I made 60 shots before I perceived the slightest decline in power and continued on to get 72 satisfactory shots before the velocity was obviously waning. The provided "shells" that hold the BB's are also top quality and very realistic. This gun is worth every penny.

Very well done. Accurate for a bb gun. Probably the best of all the bb guns and I have most of them. The Tangfolio,Sig,Colt 1911,Luger,Uzi and Broomhandle.

Nothing!!!! Keep on making more models. Probably get everybody one of these first.

The hammer does not fall all the way down. Do not think there is something wrong with yours. The pictures show the hammer does not rest all the down. I have the nickel one and the blued one coming. The blued one is blued in this first lot. I hope they continue this and not go black as the pictures show.

Wow.. simply wow! The fit and finish and action is everything it was promised to be, and it is an absolute joy to shoot. I completely agree with Tom when he said in his review that this gun is a keeper. I really can't say anything more or better than Tom did in his blog review, but I can 'second' it. If you haven't read his blog review, you should.

I don't know I would change this, but this feature is a little odd. They've permanently attached a short co2 hex wrench to the inside of the grip half that is removed to load the co2. It is kind of cool not needing to carry or keep track of a separate hex wrench for loading the co2, but I think I will still use a separate hex wrench anyway. I'd hate for something to happen to the grip.

Here's a tip to cut down on reloading time. I tried using a .177 pellet pen to help load the bbs into the shells without removing them from the gun, but the design of the pellet pen meant that 2 bbs come out at a time instead of 1. I guess pellets are longer, and the pen grabs the skirt of the pellet. Anyway, I pulled back the rubber sleeve on the pen and cut off the ring of plastic found there. That fixed it! Now the process of reloading is to pull the hammer back to the first notch, open the gate, and gently press a bb into each shell using the pen. I know, this 'cheat' takes a little of the authenticity away from the experience. But if sometimes you don't have a lot of time to shoot, this sure helps.
