Colt SAA Peacemaker Reviews

The look

Nothing If it worked

I could shoot my gun only once, then the trigger got stucked, and when I put the second Co2 bottle and tied it up with the tool the gas went out completely around the seal.

The gun is exactly what I hoped for. The build is phenomenal, and it has weight to it, which surprised me. That definitely let me know it's the real deal. First time purchasing, and was not disappointed by the gun or the website.

Definitely the synthetic grips. They feel and sound extremely fragile. I don't plan on dropping the gun, but if I would, i'm sure the grips would break or get scratched. Possibly looking into custom made grips. While powerful, with it being a CO2 pellet gun, the shooting accuracy is a bit off, but not too extreme. Still enjoyable.

Definitely a must buy for any wild west reenactment (that allows guns), personal display, or just a fun time shooting in the backyard.

The look, the details, the weight, the trigger, the ratcheting sound... the entire package is a very good replica execution. Almost knocked clean out of the park... almost.

Accuracy! Mine is way off on point of impact versus point of aim. Like half a foot at 10 meters. It shoots 2 inches to the left and as much as 4 inches high! Now, the barrel is accurate, I get 1 inch 6 shot groups at 10 meters. It is just not properly aligned to the fixed sights, a big mistake for fixed sights gun! On half cocked, the cylinder port does not line up centered for loading like it does on the real deal. Therefore it is not fully exposed, you have to revolve it just a hair more to load a casing. You over shoot it when the cylinder comes loose from it's detent to revolve, this makes loading awkward and tedious. Should have moved the loading gate portion if need be so that it lines up appropriately with the cylinder ports. Also I was very displeased the casings are not brass like I have seen on many videos! They are the same nickel finish as the gun. I found this a big miss on a simple but highly effective and super cool detail that should be capitalized o

Maybe pay for the 10 for $10 on this one? I'm exchanging mine for another after long debate. I do not find the huge point of impact versus point of aim to be acceptable. I have to aim WAY off target essentially guessing about where it will actually hit. I have conferred with other owners who say theirs are quite spot on. Mine is not. I am a seasoned adult shooter, the gun is the issue.

The overall quality and craftsmanship is outstanding.

Nothing

The first one arrived defective . Sent it back , and received one that works . All shipping costs were paid by PA might I add .

I would somehow make the trigger look in the fired or closed position .

This is a win/win situation with this gun being both beautiful, fun to shoot and easy to maintain. I've owned genuine Colt SAA's over the years and I will say this: Umarex has designed a real gem of a copy. The heft, feel and shooting fun are all there but none of the bad things like cleaning the cylinder etc. Just load, aim and shoot all day in your own backyard!

Grips could've been made out of a more-dense resin so they didn't "sound" so thin when they make contact with tables, desks etc. They are well-designed and fit exceptionally well. They just don't match the build quality of the rest of the pistol. The Nickel finish is beautiful. I can't get over how nice it is. I really like how thw "safety" blurb is well hidden on this finish and 7.5" barrel. Much nicer than on the 'Weathered" models.

Get extra shells so your friends can load 'em as you shoot. It keeps the fun rolling!

Everything

Cylinder pin need to nickel and a 4 3/4 inch barell.

I collect reproductions of antique firearms as I cannot afford the real things and this Colt is a fine addition to my collection. It has the heft and almost the look of the real thing. I do plan on more such purchases. For other collectors I would encourage them to consider this Colt as an addition to their collections as well. Unlike a non-shooting reproduction this arm can be enjoyed in the collection and in the back yard.

The price is a bit steep. It is worth it but still a challenge to some would-be owners.

Be ready to enjoy the heft and loading and unloading and actual firing of it. This is an all around enjoyable arm.

Superb revolver for one without adjustable sights. That's why I bought two of them. Great accuracy at 25 ft. I shoot approximately 200 rounds a session, 3 to 4 sessions a week. 50% of the time a can chase a soda can and hit it 5 out of 6 times. At my age (87) that's not bad.

High quality construction; fit & finish; realistic operation; reasonable power/velocity; excellent (rifled barrel) accuracy @ 20 - 40 feet with a wide range of pellet weights & shapes; functionality of pellet 'cartridges'; CO2 consumption (~60 - 70 well powered shots per CO2 cartridge); ease & reliability of CO2 installation/removal and the over all authenticity and functionality of the pistol.

Find a method to allow the hammer to rest fully against the frame when its not cocked, even if the degassing option of pulling the trigger and pressing the hammer against the frame was lost - you can still empty a partially used CO2 cartridge by simply unscrewing it. Offer this pistol in .22 caliber with a velocity of 495 fps (so it will still ship to Canada) and I expect it will become a top seller in short order.

This pistol performed flawlessly with every (lead) pellet I fired through it from 6.9 grain hollow points to 11.57 grain pointed pellets, the accuracy was scary good out of the box and after ~ 300 - 400 rounds through the pistol its noticeably better. I'm talking 0.5" groups at 20' and 0.8" groups at 40' from a bench rested position, pellets used in addition to the 2 types mentioned above were: 7.4 grain wadcutter/hollowpoint/domed/pointed; 7.9 grain pointed/wadcutter/domed; 8.4 grain wadcutter/domed; 8.6 grain wadcutter/domed/pointed; 9.26 grain hollowpoint/domed and 10.65 grain hollowpoint/domed. This pistol is in no way pellet fussy. A few drops of air tool oil on the working/moving parts (cylinder; trigger; hammer & loading gate) will produce the liquid metallic clicking sounds of a well oiled precision machine which this pistol is, it also made an already smooth action a little more silky. A drop or 2 of pellgun oil on each CO2 cartridge will keep your seals and internals lubed.

My first six shots. I took at about 95 feet away, hit one can out of six, second round of cans at about 55 feet away, hit five out of six but it was windy also so who knows without the wind it is possible that I could have hit the 6 th can!

They sent me a refurbished gun I think it was just like the left handed black holster did contain scratches, I would change their quality control people. I did order a new gun, but it did shot rather good so I am not returning it, I am satisfied with it. There was nothing wrong with the way the guns shot!

When I shot a standard pellet at the cans one lodged into a rock block so it was a exite standard lead pellet so be careful these pellets don't have to be lethel pellets or shall I say hunting pellets to be dangerous, and wear safety glasses, and stand at the safe distance when shooting these guns!

Just about everything I like; the value for money spent is through the roof ! This is absolutely beautiful and feels so good in hand; I prefer these larger grips and they do not look out of place. I have the Schofield coming soon Yippy Kai Ay !! Ger cha one and have some fun !!!!

I would like to see the option for wood or rubber grips; don't feel the safety is needed; overall, this is just fine like it is !

Yeah, when u pull this out of the box, it is on safe; take it off safe and pull the hammer to half cock to rotate cylinder clockwise. This has 3 clicks just like a clone with a transfer bar would have (non Ruger). Do not take these out front or let your kids take them out side in the front yard. they are very real looking. Perfect for basement and backyard. If you love old west firearms...treat yourself to a few of these fine replicas.

The nickel finish on this handgun is remarkable in its quality. Overall, the appearance of this handgun is an eye catcher. The workmanship on this handgun is excellent and it feels so solid when you cock and fire this gun. After four shooting sessions with this gun, I am getting at least 60 full power shots per CO2 cartridge which I think is very good considering the pellet velocity. Everyone who I've shown this handgun to has been very impressed. For the price point of this gun, I think the trigger is very good.

Thus far with the only pellet that I have tested in this gun, the point of impact at 10 meters and 20 yds has been about 2 1/2 inches to the left. Since there is no adjustable rear sight, one just has to learn to hold that far right of the intended point of impact. Otherwise, I find that it shoots pretty consistent.

My last two shooting sessions with this gun has been pop cans at 20 yds. No hold over is required ( ie, it shoots flat at that distance ) and it will hit the can pretty consistently if the shooter does his part. This is a fun and productive handgun to shoot.

Very well made and realistic. Handles nicely and is well weighted. Action is smooth and positive.

I don't see that anything requires changing.

Look, feel,very realistic, beautiful!

The hammer doesn't close all the way, i have 2 other peacemakers they are all the same

This is a faithful reproduction that looks and feels like the real deal. Very accurate within 30-40 feet! It looks right at home in my right hand full holster rig!

Wood handles would be welcomed, but the plastics are better than most

I found pellets are slower to load than BBs, and I had to use a loading rod to insert into cartridge tightly, if not pellets will not have max velocity. Extra cartidges a must!

seems to be a well made quality product. looks great,

nothing

Very very nice fit and finish! Very realistic replica, smooth action and clean/light trigger, good power, I love it! Make this purchase with Pyramydair is a breese, without complications or delays and very fast shipping to Canada, many thanks to you!

Plastic Grip

If you buy it, You must order extra shells to extend your fun

I like this Gun it is beautiful and it fits very good and very handsome.I`m very satisfied with this Gun!

Finally, a 71/2" model in nickel. Had to scarf up one of these. The weapon itself is flawless for a BB gun. Functions well and accurate.

Wish that hammer rested on the frame like the Colt SAA. Otherwise I would not change a thing.

A beautiful pistol like this practically sells itself.
