Almost everything. The M29 reminds me of a Smith & Wesson K22 Combat Masterpiece that I owned many years ago. It has a comfortable feel and the looks are classic. This replica is a work of art. I keep a micro-fiber cloth with the M29 in a soft case so that I can clean fingerprints off of the frame after use. The finish is superb and deserves care so be sure to wipe after target practice This replica should be in your collection.
Things I would have changed:The trigger pull is very hard and I find it difficult to achieve accuracy due to the ability to fire it with a steady hold while I pull the trigger. My Wheeler Trigger Pull measures 9 points 12 oz on double action and 6 pounds 13 oz in single action, so the reviews are accurate. I'm sure this is comparable to my old K22, but I was much younger and was able to achieve accuracy against a hard trigger pull back then. I will definitely need to adjust the trigger pull weight before judging accuracy of the M29. I deliberately left no accuracy rating, since I can't evaluate that until I make adjustments to the trigger.
What others should know:My test results were pretty good using my Caldwell Crony. Using Umarex Hormandy Black Diamond Steel BBs I measured a Max Velocity of 412 fps and an average velocity of 401 fps with an SD of 6.05. Using the pellet cartridges from my Colt Peacemakers and H&N 5,71 gr, Trophy Green pellets, I measured a Max Velocity of 381 fps and an average of 375.83 fps with a SD of 5.61. Respectable performance, in my opinion. Be sure to use a quality BB like Black Diamond steel BBs if you are looking for good velocity. Garden variety BBs averaged 373.83 fps, almost 30 fps lower than quality brands. I think Dirty Harry would be proud of this 44 magnum replica. It is heavy but the heft is what you would expect from a quality replica. I love it.

Looks and handles like the real thing.
Things I would have changed:The barrel----why in blazes won't the manufactures make these with rifled barrels?? BB guns that cost $200 plus? Doesn't make sense to me,( don't bother responding, I know this one doesn't cost 200, but some do) .
What others should know:Is quite accurate for a smooth bore , with pellets, but has to be better with a rifled barrel.

It's nice replica with a beautiful finish and good sights. It shoots pretty accurately too.
Things I would have changed:My biggest issue with it is the cylinder latch or lack of a meaningful one. The cylinder tips out if it’s leaning even a bit and stop functioning or completely tumbles out if you touch the trigger. There’s no detent dimple on the end of the ejector rod so it does nothing to keep the cylinder in place. Sort of a shame that a detail like that would be overlooked or “costed” out.

Well Umarex does it again! This pistol is very nice. I recently got the Colt SSA from PA I was so impressed with results with pellets 1.5 group at 10 meters. I went for the Smith Also. Both use same shells. I went ahead got extra pellet shells for both. On the one I received the dark black/blue finish is excellent for a pistol in this price range. Action tight and great trigger. Adjustable rear sights a real plus!! Shoots pellets much better with H&N Sports the best so far with 1.0 group rested from 10 meters. No fliers. Black diamond BBs about 2 to-3 group. I am impressed with how well a smooth bore can shoot pellets. Does not shoot pellets in the 4.51-4.52 mm range very well. Groups open up. So I stick with standard 4.50mm. Down here in Florida its hot with chance of hotter. So indoor shooting back on track again. Getting about 60 accurate shoots per Co2 then starts shooting low. Outside no beer can is safe at 30 feet "They make my day".
Things I would have changed:Wish it was 6 inch barrel. Grips plastic but wood grips would be expensive. For excelent smith wood grips I have paid over $100 for my S&W Mod 19s. So got to live with these.
What others should know:Clean Barrel good first. Oil it down in front of hammer and any other moving parts. Makes finish pop. Grab up all the pellet shells you can afford you will need them. First day with pistol too much fun. If you shoot the real S&W revolvers this is Definitely the next best thing. Great trigger time and so much cheeper.

This is without a doubt the most accurately duplicated replica airgun Umarex has made as of yet. The only real noticeable discrepancies that I have found so far is that the barrel trades are on the wrong sides and should be reversed from what they are, and the grips would have been nice if they had been real wood grips. However, with that said. The gun is like holding the real gun. The look and feel of the gun is better than any of my replica revolvers yet, and do to the length of the barrel it is fairly accurate for a BB gun. I do have one big beef with this gun though, and that is the guns finish. It's no where close to a black finish at all. It's more of a gray finish like the Dan Wesson 715 has, only not as dark. Personally, I would have rather seen the gun in a blued color like the Colt Peacemaker had at one time, or a silver or chrome finish. It is what it is though and it's still a great replica of the M29 that I have now added to my replica collection.
Things I would have changed:What I would have changed? The finish of the gun for sure. The gun is far too nice not to have a truer finish on the gun. The grips would have been much nicer if they would have been real wood, and I definitely would swap sides with the gun barrel trades. Last, a pellet version as an option or just made the gun a pellet gun. It amazes me that Umarex doesn't use anodizing as an option to color their guns to give them a longer lasting and truer color, and why can't they offer the option to have real wood grips. As a replica collector I'd gladly pay extra for that option as I have foregone the cost to put real grips on all my replica .45's and the wood options for my rifles. No real collector wants to have plastic or resin parts on their replica's unless it's a part of the gun as is in a real gun such as the lower half of the Glock.
What others should know:As for anything else. Well, I think I just about covered everything except for maybe the bullets which are a nice edition due to the fact that you can load them from the rear eliminating the need to remove them each time you need to reload them with a BB. They are the same shells as used in the Legends Cowboy lever action rifle. So if you have one it will give you 10 extra shells that you can use. I only wish Umarex would make updated shell replacements for the BB guns that used front loading shells. Also, if you use pellets in this gun be careful because it may not shoot some of them and get stuck in the shell or the barrel. The last thing I failed to mention are the sights. Fairly standard as in the Colt Python and the Dan Wesson 715. The only exception is that the M29 front sight is notched out and has an orange piece of plastic that is suppose to represent the acrylic sight on the real M29. It is a very nice touch and gives the gun a more authentic look. Kudos to Umarex, nice gun.

The finish , the attention to Acuracy of the real thing. For overall appearance. Its well executed.
Things I would have changed:Having owned many of the real weapon, I would say lower that rear sight( to tall) white outline it, if possible. Use standard screws, not Phillips on the side plate and offer real wood grips as a option
What others should know:I have the 5 inch on order. Wish they could give us a 61/2 inch barrel, but not a deal breaker. If you want something thats real weight and looks at a good price, then this is it. I am happy.

+Looks cool +Nice weight
Things I would have changed:-Hard trigger pull -A bit overpriced imo
What others should know:Not the biggest fan of this gun. It has a very heavy trigger pull and mine came with scratches. The outside is just paint. Though it still looks nice the practicality is not there and I just got a bad deal with the paint. Very nice and heavy though.
