Page 2 - Colt SAA Pellet Nickel Reviews

Quality of manufacture and attention to detail

barrel and rifling

don't count on much accuracy. Stay fairly close to your target. Twenty feet or less.

Feels the same as my 357. Shoots very similar, but without the kick. Makes practicing for SASS Shoots easier and less expensive. I'm able to practice in my basement or garage.

I don't like where the hammer sits when it is down position. Other than that nothing.

All Airguns should be handled as loaded, just like regular firearms. Wear safety glasses while handling any guns. At close range air guns can hurt and be deadly.

A quality air-gun facsimile of the Colt SAA. Accuracy was pretty impressive. So this is a nice alternative to my real Colt 45 SAA for backyard plinking. Its a bit lighter in weight than the real thing, and the action is more toyish, but that's understandable. I also like the bright nickel finish so I can tell it from my real Colts at a glance which are all blued.

It uses simulated bullets which I believe are known as pellet casings. The load into the cylinder the same way as it's 45 Colt big brother. I've found that the casing fit perfectly in .38/.357 speed strips like those made by Bianchi. So that's a good way to carry extra rounds.

performed great.. solid construction, great feel and realistic handling characteristics. very accurate

have the hammer close against the frame

Wait and feel is just like a real one.

Nothing

Get some extra shell's you'll need them.

Had to have a replica of the gun that tamed the west. Beautifully crafted and looks and feels like the real thing.

I would like if they provided extra shells with the pistol. At least they are available for a reasonable price.

Check the exit hole of the shell casings. I had a couple with burrs that needed a light filing. After that the accuracy was acceptable.

very realistic. Beautiful gun. Very accurate. Love it!

Nothing!

Its has a little smaller frame than the remington 1875 so better gun for ladies or men with smaller hands.

The look, the weight, the authenticity. The smooth action and the cool factor.

Nothing of consequence.

I got one for Xmas and bought another a month later. Got a holster too. Backyard plinking is soooo much fun with this gun!! The weight and feel in your hand is surprisingly realistic. Tin cans dance at 10-15 yards easily. I highly recommend this gun!

I had sold some of my other hobby stuff and had a few bucks to blow, so I bought this Colt on a lark, just to have fun with. The rifled barrel sold me on this over some other similar smoothbore products. I initially shot it straight from the factory (which I never do) just to see how it performed. It was consistently shooting a little high and to the left, about 2" up and 1" left at 5 yards. Upon examination of the muzzle there was a little smudge of dirt or grease from manufacture, so I cleaned the barrel (it was far dirtier than I expected) with some Hoppes 9 cleaner, then did a quick crown. After just that little bit it was hitting Coke cans 6 for 6 at 10 yards. So for accuracy, 5 stars. I have shot both RWS R10 Match wadcutters (PY-P-1621) and Crosman 7.4gr pointed (PY-P-314) and both are equally accurate. I get over 120 shots per CO2 - you'll be glad you have the extra pellet cartridges to make it quicker to reload.

I like making my own grips for my airguns, and this one is not going to be very accommodating for that. For plastic grips, these aren't bad. Pyramyd would do well to have a recommended upsell of the pellet holders (the fake bullets). Just a few days after buying this, I had to order them. Take it from me - get yourself at least two packs of Colt SAA CO2 Pellet Revolver... cartridges when you order!

I hope in the future that Umarex takes into consideration for some of their products that there is another part of the hobby that is for customization. It would be nice if they were to make it easier for those of us who like to make our own grips. Clean the barrel before using it! Mine came greasier/dirtier than I would have liked.

I was impressed with the Peacemaker CO2 pellet gun. I am averaging 70 - 80 decent shots per CO2 cartridge. Accuracy at 12-15 feet has been 1.5 inches. The weight and feel are PERFECT.

The sights need a LOT of work. I understand they are replicating the original but............ Shiny/blingy on shiny/blingy is bad. I couldn't even tell what I was aiming at (and neither could any friends that tried it). Yes, Orange paint on front and white paint on the rear. The rear notch is hardly there. If you wear bifocals, good luck. The gun should be made USEABLE!

I first tried flat wad cutter pellets and had some jams. I switched to domed pellets (7.4 grain) and it ran smooth!

I was surprised how realistic the weight of the gun was. The gun is very fun to shoot.

I would like a real wood grip.

Get some extras cartridges, Keeps the fun going at a much nicer pace when you have more than one shooter.

Nice-looking gun. Seems to be well made.

Being new to airguns I didn't realize that the gun didn't come with everything I needed to shoot it. I knew I would need to buy pellets but I did not know I would need Lube in the cylinder before I could shoot it. So I can't give a review of how it works right now.

I just love it

I can't think of anything

Buy it and try it

The grips. The new flat black grips don't feel so plastic-ey.

The grip medallions. I really don't like these bigazz medallions. They make a really nice replica look like a toy. I wish PA had some more add on grip options. Not crazy about white grips on a nickel gun. Looks like Hopalong Cassidy.

I have several of these pistols and like them bigly. I shoot the heck out of them. Not much else to do during the lockdown. I have had two fail on me, both with the weathered finish. It seems to me that the nickel finish ads some hardness to the die cast aluminum alloy. They just might wear out a little less quickly.

Feels like and looks like the real McCoy. I have shot 1,000 rounds and it has been very consistent. I have to aim about 1 inch to the right at 10 feet to hit the bullseye, but that is a minor thing to me.

Good as is.

I get 85 to 110 shots pet CO2 cartridge depending on the pellets used.

It looks authentic...

recess the hammer and a extra set of shells would be nice...

Simulates original CSAA, balanced, durable, fairly accurate and fun.

Wish the hammer fully closed upon cylinder frame, Not a functional problem at all.

Can be reloaded without shell ejection.

Great copy of the Colt 45

Removable cylinder then it is a working copy if you go go all the way!

Great copy of you shoot from the hip or fan for speed it feels close to its big brother COLT

Everything

None, but it would be nice for the cylinder to drop out.

A lot of fun
