Page 4 - Colt Peacemaker SAA Nickel Reviews

The feel and operation are almost exactly like the Colt Single Action I have. The cartridge system Is great.

At the time I got mine I could not get it in pellet form. It is now available in this formate.

I would suggest the pellet format. The barrel if rifled which I prefer. A little more money and well worth it; Grips on mine are "black" which makes it easier to distinguish from the BB version with faux ivory. In either case they are fun. Get the holster belt as well. Fit is great for gun and cartridges and it is a good buy, I have two. Go for either and you won't regret.

Realistic looking, feels like a real six shooter

Would nice to have hammer sit fully seated.

Buy the extra set of brass for the this six shooter. Keeps the fun going.

Weight, balance, color balance. The sound when cocking the hammer, reminds me of the western movies "hold it right there partner"! Like how the actual BB barrel is recessed, giving the barrel the illusion of a larger caliber. The cartridges being actual metal are a plus, especially when loaded onto the belt loops.

Like most others, the option for grips. Maybe some type of color recessed into the front blade sight (yes, understand the original's did not have this).

Bought the whole package; pistol, extra cartridges, belt, holster. Always played "cowboys and indians" when younger and always had to be the indian (only had bows/arrows). No more indian for me! It looks great and is just plain fun. Since this is my first CO2 BB pistol, wasn't sure what to expect with range/accuracy (besides real weapons, only have two air rifles; Weihrauchs). Don't expect more than about 10-15ft, but within that range it can make very accurate shots. Also pay for the 10for10 so you know what you're starting with.

just about everything . a little slow reloading but that comes with the fact that is a good replica of the real gun

pellets work good in the gun besides bb's

Look, heft, and overall performance.

Nothing.

Potential buyers should consider what they are looking for when purchasing this pistol. It is a fun pistol with great looks, but for the money you may consider something different for the price point.

I have had several Colts revolvers over the years and Bluing on Colt S.A.A. CO2 is perfect. Just like the firearms. Actions is smooth. The action even has the Half Cock position as a safety like the real Colt S.A.A. Extremely accurate. It does shoots high and to left but just point low and to right it is dead on. Love the fake Ivory Grips.

Remove the safety. The half cock safety is enough for this pistol but you have to keep lawyers happy. How about a 4 3/4 inch or a 7 in barrel. Even a Buntline replica. Now that would be awesome.

Excellent replica pistol, worthy of being called a Colt Single Action Army.

Bought this gun because I always wanted a cowboy six gun. I wasn't disappointed! This gun has the weight, feel, and function of the real thing. A realistic SAA in every respect! On top of that it's pretty accurate with the right ammo!

Would like to see better grips, the plastic ones take away from the overall looks.

Buy extra shells so you can spend more time shooting and less time relaoding.Also read the four part blog on this gun, there's a surprise in it!

Weight, feel, BB shells make air gun realistic. Appears to be of good quality and should last for a long time with proper care. I have shot pistol about 80 times with one co2 cartridge. Works smoothly.

Trigger stop when in down position. Trigger should be able to go lower for realistic pistol look.

I've purchased every version of this revolver presently available except one (and I'll probably try to get them all if I can). I love this/these revolvers. They feel like the actual firearm in the hand, the are simply both satisfying and enjoyable to shoot.

Very little. Maybe that the cylinder spin a little more like the actual revolver but i doubt most will notice. The cylinder here needs to seal.

This is a smooth bore BB gun but at 10 t0 15 feet it's very accurate. Just plain fun.

With all the 5 star reviews it's hard to add anything new to what has already been said. However once you hold one of these pistols I believe you will be sold. The look, feel, and functioning, of this gun is incredible. The fact that it is a BB gun, is very accurate, and sells at this price point is almost unbelievable! The trigger pull is light, smooth, and breaks very clean. Just a really great value and an extremely fun gun to shoot.

Nothing at all on the gun itself. Although it would be nice to offer different grips as accessories. Also maybe offer it in a pellet version. Oh wait....they already have a pellet version.

If you order this gun, buy extra shells. Handling and loading this gun is almost as fun as shooting it, but 6 shells just isn't enough.

My gun exhibits a multi-hued finish that I find absolutely gorgeous! It is a pleasure to behold and a thrill to handle and shoot. If Umarex didn't have a flagship model, they do now!

This isn't so much a change that I would make as it is an option that I would add, and that is a version with wood grip panels.

Accuracy? Who cares! This isn't a competition or hunting gun; it's a show piece more than anything else that just so happens to shoot fairly accurate from 20 feet away. Whether you're a collector or an enthusiast, you need to have this revolver in your collection.

Of course I like this gun, because it is a Colt, and it works like a real SAA. I might be prejudice because I have been engraving Colts for years, and now have the pleasure of making the BB gun fancy. Conrad

I can't think of a thing that I would change, except adding more engraving.

Great replica, although not a true 45 cal. It does'nt matter it's a great looking Airgun . Nice finish,great weight. I own five different colt peacemakers, they are all great especially the nickel & blued engraved limited edition colts

I'd pay more for wood grips, and the hammer should drop all the way down.

If your a collector like myself, just get one, you won't be sorry. My collection is approaching 100 Airguns displayed in what's been called, " Bens Airgun Emporium"

Realism, weight, operates like a real colt peacemaker, (shells, ejecting rod, gate for shells). Long lasting co2 life, accurate, durable. Built in allen key in grip.

Only thing minor i would change is have the hammer move completely forward, but thats not even that big of deal considering it was made to accomplish the operation of the co2.

Very nice look and feel. Both of mine are very accurate with both bb and crossman pellets. Shot a fry pan from 38yrds no problem. Have to admitt that they will make you feel like a kid again and you will be fast drawing before you know it!!

Make them in 22 cal also.

Buy a belt and holster right off the get go. Only the black has both right and left holster. Don't shoot your toe!

Real Guns and BB/Pellet Guns

Recess the barrel opening a few inches so a sound activated laser could be inserted into the barrel. I believe that the hammer fall and C02 sound could very well activate the laser such as a Laserlyte or Surefire Laser application.

I will be purchasing a second ColtSAA CO2 Revolver, Nickel. The video is OK but it is interesting that while Shooting the Revolver for the first time the Revolver wasn't rotating every time but the shot was observed to have taken place. Also the Decibel level of 97. I amazing, I believe the decibel meter is really displaying a inaccurate reading.

Excellent accuracy for a smooth bore C02 gun. Fit and finish is unbelievable. Only had it a couple of weeks and I've shot it hundreds of times. It's my favorite air gun now.

Not a thing.

Like this gun. I bought 12 extra shells with it so i have 18 rounds ready. Great fun to shoot, accurate especially for a BB gun. It's got plenty of weight (even may be a little heavier than the actual Peacemaker Though it's bee years since I held one).

The only thing I'd change I think is (as others have said) I'd like some higher quality grips. I'm already planning to try and get the John Wayne models (in pellet).

Just that I'd get some extra shells, as it's fun to have them ready.

Realism. Weight/heft. Size. Color. The blue color is very authentic, not just a black paint. Even the frame has a bit more of the silver color underneath showing through, as if it were color-case hardened. The coloring of the barrel and the frame is not an exact match, which is a GOOD thing and VERY AUTHENTIC to a real blued Colt SAA. If you search Google for pictures of the Colt SAA firearm, you'll see what I mean. The grips are nice hard plastic with authentic off-white coloring. Like all CO2 guns with a removable grip panel the grip can be ever so slightly wobbly when installed. I compensated for this by adding a small sliver of black electrical tape over the notch at the top of the grip to give it a tighter fit when installed. Now it no longer slips at all. Gun shoots pretty accurately, about what I've come to expect from a smooth bore BB pistol. I shoot soda cans at about 15 feet and only miss every so often.

Nothing really. Maybe also offer in a 7.5 inch barrel cavalry model.

This gun is VERY authentic to the real deal. The cylinder movement & single action hammer/trigger is precise. I know some folks have mentioned that the hammer not resting fully forward against the frame is bothersome, but did you know that is how a real Colt SAA was designed? Quarter cock is the "Safety" position on the real firearm and how Colt designed it to be carried when loaded. So the fact that the hammer rests in this position does not bother me in the least. Also, I'm not sure if the internal workings are the exact same on this replica as a real Colt, but if it is, you MUST ALWAYS cock the hammer ALL THE WAY BACK before letting it gently back down again. Never lower the hammer from half cock after loading, or pull the trigger when in half cock. Doing so on the real firearm can damage or outright destroy the trigger/hammer notches. The owners manual never mentions this anywhere, so it's either an oversight, or this gun is designed differently on the inside.
