Page 3 - Dan Wesson 8" Black Reviews

The Dan Wesson is a good looking BB gun with realistic revolver action. It feels comfortable in my hand thanks to all metal construction. Weight and balance are excellent. This is the most accurate BB pistol I have ever shot. BB velocities are similar to those stated by the manufacturer. It begs you to fire six more rounds just when you are ready to put it away for the day.

Power adjuster would be a nice feature to add.

This is a mass produced product, and there can be problems. There were flaws with trigger group of the first pistol I purchased. PA swiftly replaced that with another Dan Wesson 8" revolver. The replacement pistol is not perfect, but it functions properly. Keep in mind that this is a BB pistol, don't raise your expectations too high, and you will be satisfied.

Highly realistic in balance, function, looks and feel. I like the metal construction. This is one heck of a deal for the price.

Nothing.

This is a great entry level trainer for anyone who has not been introduced to a double action revolver.

High quality, well-made, excellent balance, very good accuracy and power. This is one of the best-quality air pistols that I've seen in a while... especially impressed about it being metal, rather than a plastic toy.

Only concern is possible future loss on faux bullets and not being able to replace them when out of manufacture.

good weight, nice looking. need practice loading "bullets".i have small hands and it fits well.

These Dan Wessons are the coolest BB guns that have ever been made. I'm trying to purchase the whole set before Obama realises I like BB guns too.

You'll shoot your eye out!!

Nice looking gun, the right amount of heft and mostly constructed of metal. The gun works pretty well, and can be amazingly accurate for a BB gun with the right ammo. BB velocities are spot on with the product specs. This is a realistic and fun shooter, and the only BB gun I think I will hold on to.

Quality control for a mass produced item is always a challenge. The first revolver I had would periodically misfire and the trigger group would click and the hammer moved slightly before it fired. I returned it to PA for a replacement. The replacement trigger feels very different than the first pistol. The hammer is sloppy (forward and sideways wiggle) and stands off from the valve stem @1/8". The replacement pistol is easier to fire in double action. One would prefer that each pistol was pretty much the same.

I was not initially sold on this pistol when I first got it. Shot through two CO2 cartridges and it started to grow on me. Mounted a mini red dot on top and it started to be just plain fun. Handed it to my wife and she hit three plastic bottles at 10-15 yards in sequence. Now she is on board.

Looks real, Loads and unloads like real. Is accurate and a lot of indoor fun. I plan to try it on squirrels too outside, shoots a 1.5" group at 25 feet consistantly. I suspect from a rest, you could get 1/2" groups

Single action trigger needs to be 3 pounds and not 8

looks real, pretty accurate

Wow! What a fun gun. It looks so real and the loading of the "bullets" makes it feel real. I'm not a big fan of BB pistols but this one really caught my eye due to its looks. It feels good in your hands while shooting and is very accurate for a BB pistol.

I agree with others that complain about the grip. So many are made of plastic and just feel wrong. It does slip off easily for loading your cartridge.

I was amazed at the accuracy of this gun. You occasionally get a flyer but most of the time you hit what you aim at. This is a fun gun. Get yours now!

I like the looks and feel of this gun. What I like the most is how the bullets are shot it is jut awesome.

I would change the quality of this gun. I have had this gun for a little over a year now and what I hate the most is that the hammer is worn Dow and sometimes it does not fire. This Gun is very loose because it is held together by pins.

This gun is very near looking and it is very accurate but if I doesn't work then it is worthless. The gun should hold up if you don't use it a lot.

Accurate shooter.....enjoy handleing it. Just a joy to shoot.....

Trigger is a little stiff but on single action works nice. Wish the finish wasn't so rough more of a blue look than a painted one would be nice.

If you like shooting a revolver you need to pick yourself up one of these. Great teaching aid for people how haven't shot before. Going to start teaching a shooting class and this will be part of it.

the size and weight really helped me fall in love with this gun as soon as i got it. the realistic nature and model of this gun make it good for show and just messing around.

The first thing I liked about the gun was the look. It is an awesome looking gun. All metal except the grip which you would expect. The "real" bullets are very cool and easy to load with the provided speedloader. I was very pleased with the accuracy of the gun. I much prefer pellet pistols with rifled barrels for accuracy, but this one shoots hard and straight.

The grip is a bit hard to get off and on but I don't know what they could do to change this. The speedloader takes a bit of getting used to as it doesn't easily line up with the magazine due to clearance issues but not a major complaint.

For looks you can't beat the look and feel of this heavy, hard hitting revolver with "real" bullets. Get yours today!

amazing feels like a real gun

clip capacity

just a fun gun to have

the size & weight , I put a dot sight on mine and the accuracy ain't bad, about 1 in at 15 ft. its a fun bb gun to plink with.

This gun is very accurate using Daisy Premium Grade BB's. I shoot at 7 yards to 12 yards with a tru glo dot site 3/4 inch groups and tighter for a BB pistol is very good. I get 132 shots per CO2 cylinder using the Walthers. I drop a inch in my groups after 96 shots This is a great gun.

Nothing

If you want a great BB pistol buy one you wont be sorry.

Everything! Realistic, Fun, Easy to reload both BB's and CO2, this has become my new favorite airgun, surpassing my HD MP5 PDW by Umarex.

The hammer was a tad loose on mine - not sure if they're all like that, but I would like mine tightened up a bit...

This gun is so much fun - I have about a dozen or so airguns in my collection, and this one is the new favorite - you should but one today!

I don't think there is a more realistic bb shooter out there! the looonnnggg barrel is great because it increases accuracy and velocity. the ability to put a scope on it is a big plus, too.

i would have put on better grips, beacuse if you drop the gun, they will break (I don't know if the grips are rubberized because if you run your finger along them, it feels like plastic, but when you hold the gun, it feels like rubber). that's about all i would change.

You can expect to shoot through at least six cans, I did, and that was only on a 3/4 full cartridge! glass is no match to this gun, too! if you want to shoot as accurate as you can, be sue to use single action. if you want quick, spray- and- pray action, use double action!

BB pistol is easy to load and operate. Smooth when shooting single action. Fairly accurate for a BB pistol. Good sights. Good balence.

Not quite the velocity as advertised. 30 day limited warranty does not say much for the company's backing of their product's.

Too cool! What I have not heard anyone else say about this gun is the barrel seal setup. The entire barrel is spring loaded to keep the seal with the cylinder. This all but prevents gas leakage when firing. Pure genius!

In reviews the gun was shown in a box. My gun came in a cheap bubble pack. The "bullets" and accessory rail had come loose and put tiny scratches on the gun. These imperfections were easy to touch up, luckily. Poor packaging... Cylinder does not lock, can be rotated in either direction when in place. Does not affect function of gun, but not realistic.

The 8" shoots the fastest and hardest of all the Dan Wesson models. This thing is so fun I am thinking about getting the other 3 sizes as well!
