fast and easy shipping to Canada! AAAAA+++++ for Pyramidair!! This Colt SAA is serious piece, very good finition, acurate, crisp trigger, really pleasant to shoot with!

plastic grips

you need to buy a lot of spear munitions

Very nice looking, shooting pellet revoler.

Hammer all the way down on firing & stay down.

Shoots very well.

Almost impossible to distinguish between this replica and my brother's real one. It is one of the most accurate pellet pistols I have ever fired! I normally assume a pellet pistol is fairly useless at targets more than 15 - 20 feet ... but this critter is good up to 30 feet, or more. I attribute the great accuracy to the rifled, longer, barrel. In short, I'm a very satisfied customer!

nothing

Although it is a little louder than most, it is still "back yard friendly" ...

Beautiful fit and finish. Very realistic replica. Smooth action and great trigger. Outstanding addition to my 5.5" SAA model.

None

Very accurate when I used RWS Meisterkugeln pistol 7.0 wadcutters. These pellets are very pricey but you get what you pay for. Less than a 1" group at 21'. It does hit slightly to the right of point of aim, a little Kentucky windage and your right on. Easy to load and a dream to shoot. In my opinion, a must addition to every airgunner's collection.

This is an AWESOME reproduction gun! It looks and feels almost like the real thing! There are no cheap looking lines that you see on 2-piece cheaper guns. And the nickel finish is awesome as well. I may buy a few more of these since they come in different styles. I didn't rat the accuracy because I collect replica guns, but I'm sure it is accurate, after watching the video about it. It comes in a nice box too! NOT the cheap clam shell plastic.

The grips. I know it would cost more for actual wood grips, but some of us are collectors, and we want it as authentic as possible. But I will say the plastic grips look good.

Be sure to see if there is a video about each gun you want to buy. If we all ask for more videos, I bet Paul Capello will do more for us. I tend to not buy a gun unless there is a video explaining the pros and cons.

this is my second colt replica. the first was a 5 1/2 inch barreled bb gun. I like them both. this one Is a lot more accurate at 20 ft. (rifled barrel an lead pellets.) QUALITY ! the fit and finish and operation of both are spot on. I am looking forward to a 4 3/4 inch barreled version now.

bump the pellet speed up to 450 fps or better. 22 cal would also be nice.

if you are a fan of the peace maker, these are great replicas.

The 7.5 inch rifled barrel was the most important factor in buying this gun.

The hammer does not rest on the firing pin, but that is common to all of the Peacemakers, I can live with it.

This is a great gun pellets and rifled barrel, what more do you need.

excellent fit and finish very realistic look and feel

nicer grips preferably wood

when I first got this gun I was disappointed with the function with the 30 additional cartridges I purchased ,after some playing around I found that if you seat the pellets a little deeper with a ball point pen the accuracy and reliability increased tremendously. after 200 rounds I can consistently tear a beer can in half with about 30 rounds. as another reviewer noticed it does hit a bit right unless you finger tip the trigger. just have a little patience with the cartridges at first and youll enjoy plinking with this gun.

barrel length, loading gate, ejector rod. weight. trigger guard.

get rid or hide the extra holes in the frame that the real one does not have, allow the hammer to go to full close. correct the timing for loading and un-loading. the biggest thing, fix the barrel address, it goes on the top not the side, the worst part!!!! make it more genuine. And get rid of the fake screw in the grips, its not a S&W it is a Colt, they did not have a screw in the grips. And sell the other grips, so you can change them back and forth instead of buying several revolvers.

NOT for kids !!! it looks real enough to a officer to get you killed!!! make sure that you do not walk around with it too much, your neighbors will call the cops on you. Lube her, and keep her clean. she is a fun one, it does come in a box, but no bag. if you get a holster for it, be sure to clean and keep the parts exposed to the holster well oiled and clean or you will scratch the finish.

Everything,I have eight Colt Peacemakers including the engraved version and whether it's a bb or pellet they all function like the original.

Offer a wooden grip, A higher power version for pest control and knock down power for long distance cowboy shooting.

That you can't go wrong with any gun in the line buy a lot of shells and preload them.

It's a very accurate copy and very well made. The thing is I may never shoot it. I like to collect. Well worth the money

I would like real wood grips but of course that would raise the price but I would be willing to pay for it.

What's not to like about these....Gorgeous nickel finish, extremely solid, all metal construction, hefty feel and excellent fit and finish. The scale realism is incredible, right down to the offset trigger and audible clicking as you cock the hammer. Looking at the muzzle end of the barrel, they even have the .177 rifled barrel recessed well inside the bore, with the end of the barrel having a realistic looking larger bore with exposed rifling. I love the thought that went into the pellets being loaded into the primer hole in each shell. This maintains realism even when loading/unloading the cartridges. Not only do these revolvers look awesome, but they shoot really well too. I have 2 of them and they are both dead on at 30 feet. This 7.5" rifled pellet version is quite impressive!! Pellet of choice seems to be the JSB Exact Express Diabolo 7.87gr. It will group an inch or less at 30 feet with these. I liked the first one so much that I bought another one with ivory grips.

Nothing that I can think of!

Although advertised to have "4 clicks" when cocking the hammer, it is actually a very distinct 3 clicks. Although the original Peacemaker had 4 clicks, this is a very minor detail in my opinion. The clicks are very distinct sounding. Also, from what I have read, the earlier, shorter barreled nickel Peacemakers had a more satin finish. The new 7.5" nickel Peacemakers have an absolutely gorgeous high polished finish. I absolutely love these revolvers!! I have been a center fire handgun enthusiast for over 35 years and these are top notch in my opinion.

It's finally here .

Would like to see other grip options like pearlite , stag, horse and eagle. Blue and weathered finish , and 4 3/4 inch barrel

Get one , the long barrel hog leg is here!

Recently I came across a video review on one of the Colt SAA Peacemaker C02 revolvers and it caught my attention. Up until that point I thought they were just a cheap plastic replica. Later that week I saw that the new 7.5" Pellet version had just been released, so I decided to give one of them a try. I purchased the 7.5" with imitation wood grips. I've had a grin on my face from the moment I first took it out of the box. What a quality piece!!!! The degree of realism and detail that they put into this revolver just blows me away. I still can't believe what you get for the money spent. Extremely realistic, solidly built, hefty feel and gorgeous highly reflective nickel finish. I am impressed at the thought that went into this design. It did not disappoint on the range either. I set a metal soup can up at 30 feet and proceeded to sink 5 shots into a tiny hole less than an inch in diameter, only dropping one shot a little low, this was offhand. I absolutely LOVE this revolver!!!

I have looked this revolver over from top to bottom multiple times, and honestly I cannot think of a single thing I would want changed. I have heard others mention that they would like to see the hammer sit completely forward at rest. On the shot the hammer does close completely, and springs back to the position shown in the pictures after each shot. It is designed that way and doesn't bother me a bit. I am not a big fan of the safety disclaimer on the barrel, but on this new 7.5" nickel version it is much less noticeable than the other models to date. It is more forward and on the underside of the barrel. It is also difficult to see on this highly polished nickel finish.

As others have already mentioned, the velocity on the 7.5" pellet version is going to push over 400 fps with 7 grain pellets. I was shooting pellets of almost 8 grains and getting 370-390 fps range. I was able to get 66 good shots on a single C02 cartridge too. Something to note....the description for this particular revolver states "4 clicks" when you cock the hammer, it is only 3. While this might deviate from the 4 clicks on the original Peacemaker, they hit a home run on this replica and to me this is a very minor thing. I like mine so much that I just purchased another one, this time with the ivory grips. This is a quality piece that will not disappoint!!!

This pistol is awesome! Very realistic! Nice action, perfect weight!

Only issue with realism is visible spring from ejector. Takes away from look of pistol.

Received the 7.5-inch Single Action Army Colt pellet air gun today. Shot 3” grouping right out of the box from 30 feet – great start! Used premium Crosman lead wadcutter pellets. This Colt replica weighs about 2.25 lbs. when loaded and I like how it feels - good balance. I like the longer, cavalry-style 7.5-inch barrel. I have four of the 5.5-inch barrel UMAREX Colt BB replicas and they are fairly accurate at 30 feet. I am looking forward to finding out if this longer barrel is more accurate after it’s broken in. Shooting pellets rather than BBs should help and the barrel is rifled. I suspect it will ultimately be more accurate than my smooth bore Colt BB replica pistols. Loading the CO2 cartridge after popping off the left grip is easy and the built in hex tool for tightening and piercing the capsule works great – nice piece of engineering! The nickel finish is chrome and previous nickel 5.5 models were more of a satin finish. I like this bright & shinier chrome version much better. I am glad that the “warning” information is printed under the long barrel and doesn’t blemish the looks of the pistol. The shorter barreled versions have this printed on the topside of the barrel and it detracts from the handsome revolver. The grips are dark walnut, brown plastic – look and feel great!

Engrave the Colt markings rather than paint on.

A word of warning: it doesnt take much to pierce the CO2 capsule and I barely heard a Phhhffft”! Screw too tight and you’ll break it. I know because I broke my first 5.5 barreled model trying to insert a “dud” CO2 capsule. For looks, feel, performance and fun this replica air gun is hard to beat!

Just arrived today. Glad I waited for the ivory grip option, it looks great. The 7 1/2 incher looks like the real deal. Oddly , I have several Colt Firearm versions of the Peacemaker in 4 3/4 and 5 1/2 versions ,but no long barrel versions. This Peacemaker may change that. The long barrel looks like you could reach and touch your target

Chrony results are the same as the 5 1/2 incher, once again would like to see higher velocity. I would have put small silver Colt medallions in the upper part of the grips like the firearm version. A small gripe. I got mine today and the box has the picture of the version of the wood grip revolver , I believe it should come in a box showing the correct grips. Would like to see a bright blue and a weathered version, as well as horse and eagle type grips as an option, hopefully other barrel lengths to come as well

If you don't have one , you should

The build and finish is outstanding, the dark grips, the built in Co2 wrench. The power, accuracy and shots per Co2 Great!

Nothing at this point!

I actually received one of the first of these guns directly through Umarex a couple of days ago in the weathered finish, I like the nickel better. I wanted to get some info out since the performance is all speculation up until now. I own two(2) 5.5" BB versions(One Blued, One Nickel) and I own a 5.5" Pellet version in Nickel. The 5.5" Pellet does shoot in the mid to high 300's FPS as described. The 7.5" Pellet is a different story. The manufacturer claims 380 FPS but the barrel is 2" longer. I chrono'd mine today, 78' day, using RWS 6.9 gr Super-H-Point pellet. I shot six rounds with a High of 455 FPS and a low of 437 FPS with an average of 447 FPS. This make sense with the longer barrel, basic physics. This is also really accurate. I was shooting 12 gage shotgun-shell casings consistently at 10-12 yards. I also was able to get 72 really good shots per one Co2. This is a great gun for your collection. I tried many pellets but the RWS 6.9 Super-H-Points performed the best!
