Dan Wesson CO2 Reviews

Small but very easy to use and very accurate. My friends look at it and think it’s a real gun

There’s nothing that I would change

I liked this package very much, but now that it's purchased, I find myself in a real dilemma deciding which grip I most prefer. They both look amazing, plastic for sure, but wood is costly and considerably expensive tooled and detailed. The plated finish looks fantastic when I'm able to keep it free of paw prints, all well for display, or the times I carry around a polishing cloth. I myself believe a battle worn finish to be more preferred for daily use, but in searches didn't find that choice listed.

Wood grip options, of course for the wealthy buyers (me not included), and battle worn finish availability. I don't consider myself as being finicky, and I find this product an exceptionally designed and built replication, looking good, feeling good, and functioning well.

I haven't fired the gun yet and based the four-star accuracy rating purely on barrel length. Overall, this piece is very much welcomed to my collection, and I would recommend others to consider purchase. On a hit and miss target purchase scale, (not necessarily firing wise) she's a bull's eye!

nothing

no

Very disapointed looks nice but hammer and triger action are very lose not happy with it at all!I am guessing its accuracy is so bad because of short barrel but i have other guns with short barrels tgat shoot great.

Tighten up action its so lose you think they forgot to tighten something up.

Do not waste your money i would rather own a daisy red ryder what a waste of money!

Revolver handles and feels really good in the hand and the best part it can use dual ammo lots of fun to shoot.

Not a thing would like to see it done in a all black finish.

Don't try and modify the pistol like the utube videos show it does not improve the performance and voids the warranty just enjoy it for what it is.

'funny' gun. I like the possibility to install some small accessories on the top say light (thats what i install) or laser.

nothing

I like the Cartridge system. Infortunally, there is no standard. So, you have to payattention if you have different guns. The Dan Wesson and the peacemaker use similar system but the Cartridge Don't fit exactly.

This is a beautiful replica. If you are a person that appreciates nice looking guns in general, this gun is an excellent piece. If this gun did not shoot anything at all, it would still be a nice item to have in a collection. It looks, feels, and handles like the real thing. However, I have found that this type of gun is a perfect adult toy for indoor play. This particular gun will shoot bbs (with bb holding bullets- included), it will shoot pellets (with the pellet holding bullets- included), and it will shoot darts. ( I found it much easier to load the darts into the pellet holding bullets if you first remove the small rubber insert designed for the pellets - it is easy to put the rubber insert back in for pellet use). This gun is not designed for long range accuracy, but you don't really need that for basement competitions. An all around nice package.

After thinking about this question, I really couldn't think of anything I would change.

If you decide to shoot darts from this gun, you will probably notice that a dart can simply slide out of the bullet that is holding it. I fixed this by putting a VERY SMALL amount of silicone type glue (I used E-6000) in the "feathers" of the darts - DO NOT GLUE THE DARTS INTO THE BULLET. Simply let this glue dry completely before putting the dart into a bullet. The glue simply gives the darts enough resistance in the bullet to keep it from falling out. If done correctly, you can shoot all 6 darts in succession. I don't really know of any other gun that could do this. Darts usually have to be breech loaded in single shot guns, so you can only shoot 1 dart at a time between loads. Most guns that have magazines or wheels for bbs or pellets do not have the design for darts. I personally like shooting darts because they can knock over a piece of wood, and stay in the wood, so there are no ricochets, especially if you use a piece of wood for a backstop.

The realism of the looks, feel, handling and use of the gun makes it a WINNER! I have a S&W Model 60 357 and I wanted to use the Dan Wesson 357 CO2 version to practice handling, sighting and shooting. The cost of shooting at the 357 at the gun range and buying time and bullets has kinda taken the fun out of shooting. Now in my own back yard I'm able to practice loading, aiming and shooting... and the savings of not going to the gun range has paid for everything and then some!! It's also GREAT to be able to shoot BBs, Pellets and Darts. It's a no brainer IMO.

The grips are very "plastic" feeling... taking them off and on to the change the CO2 is not a good experience. Trigger pull for double action requires too much effort, so using single action gives me much better results.

If you like revolvers then you will love this gun... If you like handling bullets and loading 6 shoots at a time you will love this gun... If you like shooting convenience and you have a back yard (or someplace nearby) you will love this gun... If you like to save money, BB's and Pellets are a heck of a lot cheaper than buying 380, 9mm, 38, 357, 40... well you get the point!

This is a great gun for the money. You can't get any more realistic looking then this. It loads ammo and the co2 cartridge easy and I got about 100 rounds per cartridge. You get two hand grips with it, the black polymer and the wood grain plastic. The only thing is the accuracy. When I first put 100 rounds through it my groups at 15 yards was were 5 inches apart. Now after 500 rounds the groups are only 3 inches.

Nothing.

In the picture and the ad it shows you get a speed loader. I did not get one.

This is a really nice product. So realistic ! And very reliable.

Not much, if anything

Good looking revolver and it met my expectations.

None

You won't regret for getting this product you will surely love it.

Loved the whole gun just everything was good

Wish there was a wood handle for it

Beautiful, all-metal body (but see below). Definitely collector quality, and I really like the spinning action and authentic-looking bullets. The style and shape of the grips are perfect for my hand. Feels great. Good realistic balance.

Aside from a perfect shape of the grips, they are made of the cheapest plastic I can imagine. In the pictures, it's impossible to see the quality, but these grips are akin to toy guns you find in a 99-cent store. Horrible. To replace the CO2, you pull the rear part of the grips backward. There are two shallow tabs on either side that hold the section of grip to the gun. I am 100% confident these tabs will fail after probably only a few CO2 changes. I searched for accessory grips to hopefully change these out, but I can only find grips in the exact same style ($20 accessory). Additionally, the plastic is not robust; it is very thin. I'm afraid that if the gun gets accidentally dropped even one time, the grips will crack. Why on earth Dan Wesson will sell such a beautiful airgun with such lousy grips is beyond me......

Bottom line, gorgeous revolver, but the poor quality of the grips is forcing me to return it. And remember that this revolver is only rated at 318 fps, which is pretty anemic. I knew that when I bought the gun, but brushed it aside because I really liked the looks as a collector's item. Thankfully Pyramyd Air has a 30-day return policy. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how the gun shoots. I am returning it in unused condition.

My favorite, however, the plastic handle squeaks and gives the impression of failure.
