Dan Wesson 2.5" Silver Reviews

Fit and finish. The safety is clean and does not distract from the presentation. The cylinder opens and closes smoothly. The double action is smooth (with a firm and steady pull) allowing for good second rapid shots. The sights are well made however I like the point method looking over them. It is easy to acquire second and third targets quickly.

The grip works well when shooting. Problem is opening it to allow access to the CO2. It is a mess if it comes off its track. Just be very gentle when opening it.

The speed loader simply does work. I would not let this comment keep you from buying it. I took a year to decide to give it a try due to the many negative reviews I read. My purchase was a good one and the 60 day return policy was very helpful.

Good for playing around

Great people to do business with

Pretty cool gun. Nice weight to it. Nice finish.

Fix the back of the handle that covers the co2.. It is very flimsy, and loose when the gun is 8n my hand. Make the brass fit tighter in the cylinder.

The shells kind of make it hard to flip close the cylinder. But I would recommend it. Very realistic to a real firearm. It's bigger than it looks.

i like the weight and the feel of the metal parts i also like the double action.

i hate the grip. its plastic and it slides around on the handle and feels like its always gonna come off

nice revolver but i wish the grip had a locking mechanism to hold it into the handle.

I Love the gun. Nice and compact easy to carry.

GREAT GUN TO OWN!!

This gun is great!!! It is the same size & weight as the real gun. This gun is what I expected it to be.

The only thing I really didn't like about it, is the Holster & the speedloaders could be of better quality.

This gun is definitely worth the money.

1. Looks and feels gorgeous 2. Shoots accurate out of the box 3. Definitely worth as a collectible

1. Too huge and hefty for a 6 rounds snub nose 2. The grip is way too fat for single handed shooting, but my hands are not big either to be fair

If the form factor of this gun could be reduced about 10-15%, it would be a totally phenomenal item for collecting as well as plinking.

This is one of the most Amazing Air powered guns I've seen. Bb guns are great for teaching kids firearms safety & responsible shooting Practices.

Only issue I see is the speed loader doesn't feed like the real gun.takes a bit of wiggle to load. Snap on holster should be on the outside for more accurate firearms training. As for the gun,it's Perfect!

First look and feel. Like someone else said, "don't look too close"

The grips. The grips are way too loose, they rattle and have fallen off while reloading.

The cylinder release was stuck when it arrived. Took quite a bit of force to release it. Once it released, it was fine. Accuracy is marginal but the two tone (black rear and silver post) make target acquisition quicker. I get about 25 rounds out of a CO2 cylinder. After about 10 rounds, the velocity drops and barely penetrates cardboard backing to a paper target. I will probably end up using this as a trainer for the family.

The looks and the weight of the gun are good, just don't look to close

craftmanship of the gun is pretty good except for the heavy trigger, loose hammer and plastic grips that rattle.

Can't hit a barn door at 20 ft. Shoots bbs all over the place so it is impossible to sight in for accuracy. Fun if your shooting balloons but terrible if your shooting cans and impossible if your trying to shoot bulleyes. When the gun is cocked the hammer sits crooked from the rest of the gun. Looks terrible to look down from behind.

grips too loose

We u8se as a training aid in our handgun classes.

Have the cylinder lockup at each chamber, like a real revolver.

I like the fabrication quality and functioning.

Haven't fired it yet but it's a solid,hefty feeling gun in your hand. Just that alone is worth the money

The hammer is a little loose feeling

No question about the build quality of the Dan Wesson. Top drawer. All steel except the handle. Great weight and balance and very good accuracy for a 2.5" barrel. Very realistic. I like the closely matched thickness of the front sight to the notch in the rear sight. Too many CO2 guns have a needle-thin front sight that literally swims in the rear sight, making it hard to place a shot. This revolver lines up the sights and fills the rear sight notch so that you know you are well sighted.

Just the handle. I think one side of the handle should pop off to access the CO2 port would be better. That way the handle would be out of the way when loading a gas cylinder. As it is, the handle needs to be held in the up position to keep it out of the way. Not a biggie.

Your Colt 357 magnum cartridges are too big to fit in this gun and Schofield cartridges are too small @ .055, .040, and .036, respectively when mic'd. You can fire Schofield cartridges but will not get full velocity because they are 4 thousands too small resulting in loss of air pressure and a low velocity shot. Get the Dan Wesson cartridges for this guy to shoot properly.

looks like the real thing. good for training.

The accuracy of this rifle is absolutely the best out of all of the rifles that I have. At 30 feet, my 16 shot groupings are less than the size of a dime. I also like the fact that there are quite a few add on's that are easily obtainable like sling and bipod. Though pretty much everything is made of plastic including the sites, it is remarkable how spot on this gun is.

I would easily pay $150.00+ for this rifle if the stock were made of wood. It is a shame that they did not take this gun to the next level like the Dan Wesson pellet revolver.

The only mechanical issue I have with the gun is that the C02 cartridges sometime leak when I add fresh cartridges and I have to back them off until they stop and tighten them back. For ammo Exact Diablo 7.33 grain pellets work well for general back yard plinking but if you want a good punch at 25-30 ft with really amazing accuracy, shoot the Sig Sauer zero point 10.65 grain copper coated pellets through it. After you run 64 to 100 pellets through the rifle, it becomes a beast!

I really like the quality and functionality of this revolver. The accuracy is very consistent at 25ft and 6 shot groupings are within an inch. The value of this gun is one of the best for the buck.

Not that I care that much because I don't use it and like to manually load the gun because it gives the C02 cartridges time to warm up after shooting 6 rounds but the speed loader is a bit cheesey in the way that it fits. The grip is a bit odd compared to the quality of the rest of the pistol but I get the fact that it has to open somehow to load the C02.

This gun is well worth the value. I would recommend purchasing a molded holster as well and wipe it down to remove the oils from your fingers after every use. For ammo I have been shooting the Exact Diablo 7.33 pellets through it with really good results. I have also shot Predator Polymags through it as well but the accuracy has not been as good. Buy yourself extra shells so that when you shoot, you can re-load and keep going without spending the time after 6 shots breaking each one open to add a new pellet.

I'm glad it doesn't have an orange barrel tip

I would make it where u cud put 3 bbs in each bullet and to mount laser or scope is not as simple as you make it look ..
