LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE THE REAL GUN

NOTHING

BUY IT

Attention to detail and the fit and finish are excellent. I have two of the Umerex Peacemakers and the Schofield is every bit the beauty as my two Peacemakers. Is a bit louder then the Peacemakers which is good depending on where you live I suppose. Fairly accurate for a plinker and just plain fun to shoot.

The plastic clam shell packaging is hideous and does this fine pistol a great injustice. A nice box would be a great improvement.

Did I mention the plastic packaging is awful? Pistol is awesome!

Everything...this is an accurate replica and an accurate shooter; my 9 year old son was hitting every bottle within 30 feet. If you are a fan of the old west, don't hesitate to buy one !

Real wood grips and not a big fan of the writing (safety) on the side but is small detail.

load the BBs from the front of catridge...I put bbs in a sm. bowl and push down till I hear a click....Easy;

I love this gun. Great plinker. Well made. Very satisfied.

The blister pack.....A fine gun should come in a descent box......Looks like it came from Wal Mart.

The fit and finish was nice. Everything worked as I expected. I purchased the nickle with the ivory grips and it also comes with the faux wooden ones. I like the wooden ones the best and have since replaced the ivory grips. The pistol shoots fairly accurate at 35 feat I can hit a large drink bottle every time. Not a tack shooter but acceptable. In my opinion great value for the money.Being nickle the factory disclaimer is barely notifiable on the frame..

The only thing that I would have changed is having a rifled barrel and making it into a pellet pistol.I have ordered the pellet cartridges that are made for this pistol but the are not available yet. They might change the accuracy some. I feel like I should mention the packaging, it is awful. Something this nice deserves better than a plastic clam shell.

First I would do the 10 for 10, I did and am pleased with the results. In my opinion it is worth the extra $10.00 so you will know the pistol is correct when shipped.No complaints so I can't comment on customer service.

This thing is absolutely gorgeous. From the nickle finish to the faux wood handles it's simply remarkable. It's quite CO2 efficient as well. I do believe I went through nearly 100 rounds before I noticed any drop in performance.

Not one single thing.

FYI, I've heard folks mention speedloaders. I found that the Wesson speedloaders work perfectly. It's a costly accessory but I found it really does help speed the loading/shooting process a bit. PA sells the Wesson speedloaders (without shells) for ~ $8, and spare Schofield rounds for just under $13, so $21ish may be a bit too costly of an investment for some but I think investing in the speedloaders is worth it.

Authentic Reproduction, Weight, Feel, Ejection of shells, ease of changing CO2.

Package it in a cardboard box. Get rid of the plastic "ClamShell", hard to get into packaging.

I bought the one with the wood looking grips and purchased the Ivory grips separate so I can change the look anytime I please. Also the cartridges for this also fit in the Webley Mark VI.

What a great shooting iron ! The Schofield arrived here 4 days ago and I think that I've only put it down to sleep , much to the amusement of my wife. The simulated wood grips and the nickel finish on this gun are like works of art. This revolver shoots accurately right out of the box. After the first dozen or so shots , I was getting two inch and less groupings on targets at 30 feet inside of the garage. The temperature in the garage ? (roughly 36 degrees F. Yep , it's winter here in Canada !) The weight of the Schofield is considerable , but that feature also provides a more stable shooting platform for launching the BB. The workmanship is excellent with very little seam showing anywhere. The top-catch mechanism , the break pivot point and the shell extractor all operate reliably and crisply. The trigger pull effort is very , very easy.

Real wood grips would be nice , but the simulated ones supplied with this gun are so well done that they're pretty convincing. That in itself is nowhere near a deal breaker. Outside of that , there isn't a thing about this revolver that I can spot that is in need of a major improvement. Maybe they'll come out with the 5-inch barrel , Wells Fargo version. That one would definitely be added to the collection here.

When I first pulled back the top-catch release mechanism to open the gun , it would not close up again. I didn't want to force it , so I pivoted the cylinder and barrel back and forth several times , each time actuating the extractor. I then held the barrel firmly pressing back towards the rear of the gun and it finally closed back into place. I discovered that the top break point was getting hung up slightly on the small triangular metal projection near the top rear just forward of the hammer on the gun. I placed a small dab of silicone grease on the top edge of that triangular portion and no problem at all since then. The very , very easy trigger pull action is something to be careful of. I had two shots go off unintentionally in the garage just by resting my finger on the trigger. That is definitely NOT recommended. You don't want to shoot yourself in the foot or injure an innocent bystander. If you're interested in the guns of the Old West , you've got to get yourself one of these.

As usual, for me, the collector's value dominates, and I credit this manufacturer for a fine reproduction job. Accuracy, which I found adequate, is of secondary importance to me.

It's a detail, of course, but it would be so much nicer if the packaging included a nice box (be it a cardboard one) instead of cheapening it in one of those hard-plastic blisters one would only expect from a Chinese knock-off.

I like it that when Pyramydair fulfills the order for the ''ivory'' grips version, it ships a gun with ''wood'' grips but encloses the ''ivory'' grips in a separate box as part of the same shipment.

This is a VERY NICE replica gun. I love the weight, fit and feel. The grips are plastic but thicker than most, giving it a more REAL FEEL when you hold it. I mainly collect replica guns, and seldom shoot them, so I left the accuracy star selection empty. Except for inside the trigger guard, there are no unsightly seams and it could almost pass as the real thing. The nickel finish is very nice. it could, and maybe SHOULD, deserve 5 stars. At least for the low price. I see similar replica guns go for way more, so I am very pleased with the price verses quality. Your going to want one of these!

The usual... plastic grips and clam shell packaging. But again... for the price it is well worth it.

I believe anyone who buys this gun will be glad they did. You may as well order a nice case to put it in. I will order the aluminum hard case for this one, and Pyramyd Air has the one I want, so check them out while considering this gun. It DESERVES to be stored in a metal, hard case.

I was the first to review the blued version and suggested putting the revolver in a decent box ,we will see, and adding a nickel finish. I suggested poly ivory grips or pearl, but at least the nickel finish is coming ,and hopefully a pellet version and a 5 inch barrel Wells Fargo variation. After shooting mine for awhile I offer two tips. shoot to point of aim not 6 oclock and don't put more than a finger tip on the trigger or it will shoot to the side you put your finger through.
