Page 2 - Dan Wesson 2.5" Silver Reviews

The feel is very close to the real thing, the weight is correct, the trigger pull is not as good as the firearm, but it is not bad at all. It looks real, only till you start to be picky can you tell it is not real. Accuracy is good, so you can practice trigger pull with this bb pistol and when you shoot your firearm you will be in much better practice than if you had nothing to practice with other than your gun with snap caps. This gives you visual information as to where the shots are going. It's accurate, but shooting a snub nose requires a lot of practice and this is PERFECT for that. Try shooting it off of a bench with a rest and pull the hammer back for single action, it will group 3 inches at 10 meters and better than that. I'm a decent shot, but not great, and it is fine in the accuracy department. If you have an Airweight, it is larger than that gun, feels heavier too, but still similar. 6 shots too. Cylinder rotation is smooth. I also like Pyramid Air's great service.

Not really anything, maybe the grips but they are okay. They move a little bit when you handle the gun. They don't move much, but if you pick up the gun, and try to wiggle the grips you can feel the movement and hear the movement. It is very slight. I could likely shim and stop the wiggle but it does not bother me and does not effect the use of the gun.

The black Dan Wesson and all the markings can easily be removed. I used a fresh pot scrubber, the kind with a sponge on one side and the abrasive pot scrubber on the other. That will get it off, but it leaves some scratches. You can get those out too, if you want, with wet/dry sandpaper. I did not go down to the base metal, still was in the silver paint. Except for the barrel showing a small bb hole instead of a big hole, this looks like a firearm. The black paint is on top of the silver base coat in case you want to remove the Made In Taiwan, etc. Power is okay, I was expecting less. This easily goes through both sides of a heavy duty cardboard box that shipped a large item in it. That was from 10 yards. I cannot see the bb's fly as I am shooting it. Not too loud, and as others have said the co2 lasts for a lot of shots. I did not modify the gun for more power, it's fine the way it came. I may modify a shell or two and try to fire birdshot out of it, just for fun. Wear eye protection

Cosmetically on point with the real deal..AWESOME..a must have for collectors/enthusiast.

The grip of I'm not to fond of but hey its a sweet piece.. More power

Excellent simili. Heavy and looks like the real one. Should froghten intruders.

i love this gun best gun yet

not a dam thing

get it now !!!!!!!

Looks real, functions like a real one except no recoil when firing which I would guess is impossible to replicate on a revolver. But nice high quality all metal with nice rubberized grips that hide the co2. So very hard to tell if it is a bb gun or real gun.

night sights which I will be making.

Nice and heavy, well built gun.

Realistic look, feel, and loading of ammo.

More fps.

Preforms as advertised.

Very well constructed and the silver finish is 1st rate.Weight and balance is just like the snub nose my father taught me to shoot with.I would rate the accuracy at 5 out of 6 as the seems to be a few fliers.The shells seem to grip the BB's differently,some hard and some soft.I suspect this results in the missed shots.

The opening grip feels a little flimsy,always afraid I might break it.

The manufacturer has 25 count bullet available.I would recommend their purchase.Loading the BB's in bulk gives a totally realistic experience as you can shoot lot faster.

I put this up by my mother in law's 357 snub nose... you can't really tell them apart... and the feel... too real. The only way you know it's not the real thing is looking down the barrel...

Nothing!

Buy extra rounds... I have several and ready to load after firing.

Silver finish is very realistic and wears very nicely. I love the implementation of actual shells that you load and fire. The single and double action is a nice inclusion. The sights are very good.

The grips seem to have a rubberized finish, it will wear off on key contact points.

This version of the Dan Wesson is very nice and fun to shoot, however if you are looking for anything other than a close range target/plinking pistol I'd get the 4inch or larger barrel version for vastly improved accuracy.

Out of the box it looks as good as advertised. It feels like my 38 special, but a bit heavier. After sighting in (which was easy)I was able to group my shots within a one inch circle from 18 feet. That's the best I can hold right now. After oiling the trigger, hammer, and cylinder pivot with a long needle oiler, the action smoothed out some, but still is a little stiff. I'm sure the double action will smooth out as it wears in. I don't use the speed loader because I want the practice loading shells one at a time. It's giving me the practice I need for loading my 38. The revolver is surprisingly accurate for a snub nose. It's not only good looking, but a quality piece for the price. I like it so much that I made a leather holster for it.

The metal breech seal should be smoother so the cylinder can advance more freely. The front sight should be blackened to avoid glare. These are very minor, but would help tighten shot groups.

I smoothed out the breech seal with 400 sand paper, and oiled it with a synthetic oil. Blackening the trailing edge of the front sight with a Sharpie pen made it a lot more visible. This piece is so realistic that caution should be taken handling it in public.

Weight, feel, look, replication, how the ammo is loaded into the cartridges,

Nothing

Be careful with this firearm. It may be a co2 air pistol but it is powerful, enough to shoot an eye out. Overall this is a nice piece to add to your collection. Absolutely identical in the weight, feel and look to the real deal. Be careful!

Have one for myself, got this one for my daughter. A nice practice revolver, fun to shoot , the shell firing system is great

A little more solid feeling action, shorten gas valve to make profile like on the new Webley a ringer for the real firearm. should come with 12 shells ,and I would switch to an HKS type speedloader ,this one is bulky and awkward. Would increase fps

A must have

Cartridge loading ,fairly realistic, metal construction and finish

Action could be more precise, need to shorten co2 valve to make profile behind the trigger look more realistic. Should ship with 12 shells

Pretty nice practice /action air revolver, HKS S&W K frame speedloaders work with these shells

I use this BB revolver to practice when I can't get to the range to fire my 357 snub nose. It has a nice look and a very good feel. Of course, it does not have the kick of a 357 but it gives good tactical practice. And it you can't beat the price of Ammo ..... very economical. A good choice for home on the range training. It's a good purchase.

Just remember that this is a BB CO2 revolver; how you fire it and how fast you fire it will affect BB pattern. I am still breaking this pistol in, but I believe that if you practice with this revolver regularly, grouping will improve. Airguns kind of make you work hard at following through on your shot.

This handgun is the most realistic training aid I have ever had the pleasure to work with. the weight and feel in the hand give the user all the tools to learn proper handling of a firearm.

The grips are comfortable but rubber would be better, even if it were a coating over the plastic.

Get one. its worth the price and you will not be disappointed.

Nice weight and balance. Crisp single action trigger. Beautiful finish and appearance. Extremely accurate.

The grip is a little loose, but the design is very clever in terms of appearance and function. Not an issue for accuracy if you follow proper technique.

I love this CO2 BB revolver! People complain about the accuracy of the 2.5" version, but it shoots as straight as the shooter! I use it as a practice piece for my 4" .38 Special, and the shorter barrel forces me to use proper technique. The double action trigger is a little sloppy, but in single action it is very crisp! It's an excellent and realistic training piece, 100% reliable, and LOTS of fun to shoot! Highly recommended!!

Just about everything. Looks, feel, handling and just plane fun to shoot.

I would prefer a similar grip to the Colt Python.

Get extra ammo as six shots go fast when your having fun.

This is a great gun. The weight and balance are perfect. I like loading like a true revolver. Smooth trigger pull with the same kind of staging you feel with a 2.5 inch S & W 357 Magnum.

Plastic grip is a bit "lightweight." Always wonder if I'm going to break something when I change CO2 cartridges. Not as accurate as I thought but fine for purpose - practice.

This is a big gun for a guy with small hands. I bought it to replicate the double action feel of my carry revolver, Ruger 357 LCR. Feel is pretty close, but the size is not close.

The Dan Wesson 2.5" BB Revolver has the look and feel of a gun that shoots a real 357 Magnum. Because it is mostly metal, it is pretty heavy but that makes it also real solid. It is especially clever how BBs fit into 357 size shells and the BBs load very easily with the special easy loader. I like how it can be shot either double action or single action by cocking the hammer. It is a fun gun to shoot!

I wish that it shot pellets instead of BBs.

Not quite as accurate as I would like but passable considering it is a smooth bore BB pistol. However, maybe I just need more practice ;-)

very realistic, nice weight, accurate, smooth, very well made.

the reloader is a bit weird at first but it dose work well once you get the hang of it.

reloading is a bit slow, buy the extra shells. but that is just my opinion, I am use to a 16 round shooter.
