Great BB gun. I happen to like the real thing in 357s & this is a great way to practice and just have fun plinking in back yard or chasing off critters, like chipmunks & squirrils.

Add extra clip with the original package. Also offer extra clips for reasonable charge. I like to have extra's loaded & ready to shoot where real, pellet or BB. Saves time & does not interrupt shooting rhythm.

Read the Instruction book and everything should be fime. Get a good quality pellet or BB when getting these niceer guns. The few extra bucks with pay off in the long run. KEEP THE GUN VERY LIGHTLY OILED as instructed & it will last a long time & give good service.

Solid construction. No weaknesses or loose parts. The hammer and cylinder are a bit sticky right out of the box, but they loosen up with use. Yes, the gat is plastic with metal parts, but it is very high quality plastic so dont worry.

Accuracy is shabby for a gun made by Smith and Wesson. Was expecting more. But not aweful

The only air revolver to my knowledge that offers high quality for such a low price. A must for people who dig the style and class of a wheelgun in this age of automatics.

exact replica of the real .38

designed to use pellets also

something you will want to shoot all day-great for indoor range

It loks like the real deal. Works like the real deal... or so I am told. It also has a relatively good weight.

Out of all.my guns, and I have many, this has the heaviest trigger pull of the bunch so I have a rough time dealing with accuracy downrange. I suspect a laser on the under barrel rail would help. I was also hoping it would have a metal frame but expected a plastic gun which turned out to be what it was. I also noted a what could be a safety issue. The directions say to put gun on safe before loading. This is physically impossible to do. The safety is also the drum release. To put it on safe you move it backwards. The drum release needs to be pushed forward past fire. So, the gun is no longer on safe and could fire in theory.

A fun gun but not the most safe gun. Also the only one of it's kind since the entire ammo drum advances, not just a disk at the back. Also only revolver zi know about that fires bb s. This is a big plus in states where a pellet firing pistol is forbidden in direct violation of the second ammendment.

Very similar to a Dan Wesson 8" bb gun I have. Love the look and it's just as fun to shoot! Easier to load and I got 160 shots on my first couple of co2's then the other pistol. Will have to continue testing it to see if that holds up. Comfortable to hold.

Accuracy is not as good as I'd like but then it's a bb gun and not a pellet gun so with that in mind, it's perfect for can shooting, just don't expect markmanship results. Again this may change after some break in time and if so, I'll update this post. Not very much metal on the gun but I'm appreciating the lack of rusting possibilities compared to my other pistols that I'm always worried about the barrels rusting if not properly stored. Trigger pull is pretty strong. I'd say it's about the same pull as my 1377, maybe a bit harder. The rear sight for vertical adjustment doesn't hold well. I had to stick a piece of paper under the sight to keep it up since I had to raise it so much to get the shots on the paper at about 13 feet. It doesn't seem to have a way to keep the sight locked while adjusting. Upward movement is stopped but the downward movement is floating so if you tap the sight it'll go down and not return to the full upward position. Hope that makes sense.

To my surprise, the bb's holder actually ejects out like if it had real shells. So that was cool to see and it does help you practice the ejecting of shells and reloading. Though I don't know if there are spare "clips" but it would be nice to have a handful available.

I am well pleased with this gun,works great shoots good and is accurate.I have many co2 guns,this one is one of my favorites.

nothing,I do hope they make the clips that you can get extra of.

something I'm looking for in this line,is way they can't make a single action western style gun like these. i'm a fast draw nut,i have the crossmen and daisys that were made years ago,this smith is good,make SAA this way. thanks.

i LIKE THE LOOK AND FEEL SEEMS TO BE MADE VERY WELL HAS GOOD WEIGHT LOADING BBs IS A SNAP AND I LIKE THE FACT THE GRIPS STAY ON THE GUN WHEN CHANGEING THE cO2 ACCURACY WAS VERY GOOD AT 20 FEET YOR NOT GONNS SHOOT GREAT GROUPS BUT I HIT A SODA CAN EVERY TIME AT 20 FEET THE CYLINDER POPS OUT LIKE THE REAL GUN DOUBLE AND SINGLE ACTION IS GREAT AND TRIGGER PULL IS GOOD THE REAR SIGHT ADJUSTS FOR WINDAGE POWER IN VERY GOOD I ONLY HAD IT A FEW DAYS SO DID NOT GET A SHOT COUNT BUT SEEMS I WAS SHOOTING FOR A GOOD WILE BEFORE THE BBs STARTED TO DROP

NOT A THING MAYBE MAKE THE REAR SIGHT FULLY ADJUSTABLE HOT JUST WINDAGE BUT I CAN DEAL WITH IT.

VERY GOOD GUN FOR THE MONEY SO GO OUT AND GET ONE

I dont own the real S&W r8 but this gun has got the feel and looks of the real deal that i see advertised.I love owning a wheel gun that i can use for practice shooting.Good sights. The grip is not over sized feels good in my small hands

a spare bb clip would would be helpful

good service I recieved my order 3 days after placing my order This product is at best made up of polymor plastic material. also the trigger pull is stiff but manageable GO GET ONE!

Good weight and feel. Well constructed.

This would make a far better pellet gun as steel BBs have little penetration and ricochet in all directions given the low fps from a weak seal (use cardboard for a backstop). Pellets would have a higher fps due to a tight seal thus penetrate better and not ricochet as they'd flatten on impact. The trigger is so heavy that rounds go left or right depending on which hand you favor. The pull needs a LOT of lightening. Oddly enough the double-action is smoother

At 7-10 feet with paper targets on cardboad using double action it's good for skill sharpening.

Excellent heft and good value in its category.

The looks are impressive - but of course, in this range of prices, it's an all-plastic affair, so although it's >, to a degree, it is. It will not happen, but one can still dream of how magnificent a metal version would have been.

the power is good it shoot well accuracy is prety good

is abut 90% plastic makeking it look moor like a toy.

not bad for the price it up to you.

It has some nice weight to it. It's also every bit a true revolver since the entire clip does in fact advance as you shoot. It also fires double and single action. I was hoping for a metal frame but can't complain since it's the only bb revolver i know about on the market. Wnt accuracy at a distance, it has a place under the barrel for a laser.

The loafing directions are a bit in conflict. To put the gun on safe you pull the safety to the rear. To load you push the safety forward past fire. The direcions state to put the gun on safe then load. This physically can't be done. If you put it on safe you can't load it.

The m&p stands for military and police, but I can't see a military or police force that would use a revolver over a 9mm semi-auto. This seems more like a home defense type of gun since it does require frequent reloads.

The looks and the concept. At a short distance this is a really cool looking pistol I had high hopes until I opened the package and used the gun. I do have to say even with the cheap build the trigger was decent on this gun but the poor build quality makes me wonder how long it would last.

The overall build quality is not up to par with other Umarex licensed pistols. There is very little metal on this gun it is a lot lighter than it looks. Mine came with the rear sight almost unattached from the gun and the sight adjustment screw was all buggered up from the factory. This gun really worries me is this the direction the Umarex pistols are heading if so it's not a good one. I did not expect the quality of some of my other higher end Umarex guns but I have other low cost Umarex pistols that are much much nicer for example Colt Defender, Beretta Elite II, Makorov, H&K USP these all cost less and are much better made than the S&W. Also come on Umarex it's and 8 shot bb revolver and you can only give me 1 clip that could not cost more than a quarter to make. Accuracy of this gun was average at best for a bb pistol none of them are that great other than my Beretta Elite II but this S&W ranks down toward the bottom.

I had this gun pre-ordered for over 2 months and was really had high hopes. Those hopes quickly faded when I started to play with the gun and see how cheaply it is made. If this is the next wave of Umarex pistols I am going to get on the hunt for some older models on the Pre-Owned market. I was really surprised that S&W would license this product it kinda shows me that even the better companies will sell out for a price. I do want to thank Pyramyd for there customer service and return policy. I did learn a lesson wait for some reviews and don't be the test pilot your subject to crash and burn. Tim A.

i jost gat my today it shot very well an it prety powerfull

it abot 90% plastic moor matel needit

is not a bad gun for $69

Double and single action. Swing out cylinder. Accuracy: I had to make a couple of adjustments on the elevation but once done I kept a two inch group at 30 feet.

An all steel construction would've been great, but I didn't buy this so much as a replica as to just have a revolver type handgun to go with my collection. You can buy heavier steel guns, but it'll cost you a lot more.

I went through the police academy in the fall of 1980, became certified and went to work for a small PD in Michigan. My first duty weapon was a Smith and Wesson model 15-2 - .38 revolver. This gun brings back memories of that weapon. It's just a lot of fun to shoot.
