Everything. It is a real fun to play with it.

To be more accurate and precise than the BB version.

This pellet version shoots more different pellets, within 1.75 inch group, than the BB version. However, it is not more precise or accurate than the BB version. With H&N Match Green 5.25gr, the BB gun had a 1.25 group on 12 shots without flyers. The pellet gun had the same group with one flyer. With the Field Target Trophy Green 5.71gr, both had the same result, 1.75 group with 2 flyers.
With the Crow Magnum HP 8.8gr, the pellet gun had 1.5 group in 12 shots without flyers. With Baracuda Green 6.64gr it had the same group but with 2 flyers.
The BB gun had 1.75 group in 12 shots and one flyer with Black Diamond.
This comparison was at 24 feet in a grip rested position. I got 78 rounds per CO2.

The weight and balance feels good in the hand, and the trigger is not to bad. The accuracy is pretty good, even with the simple sights on SAA.

It needs better handgrips, the stock grips are to smooth to get a good hold.

As others have said, buy as many cartridges as you can. Also buy a pair of shooting gloves if you don't already have a pair. Accuracy is not bad, I can shoot a 2 inch group at a 25 feet. I get 50 to 60 shots with a single CO2 cartridge, and I have fired well over 1000 shots down range with no problems. I use a drop of PellgunOil on the CO2 cartridge every 200-250 rounds, and a drop of silicone chamber oil on any moving parts every 1000 shots. My pistol is not pellet sensitive, I shoot mostly RWS Hobby and Beeman Hollow Point Coated with it. I am very happy with my purchase, and would do it again. I also bought the holster and cartridge belt, along with 42 cartridges to fill the belt. I buy the CO2 cartridges in bulk also.

The look, feel and weathered/used appearance of this SAA is excellent. I bought the weathered DUKE pellet version.The one I received shoots straight and accurate in contrast to some reviews I read. It is powerful enough for plinking and target practice. Also fairly quiet.

The cylinder could revolve more smoothly like an actual SA pistol firearm.

I am really happy with the purchase and it's fun to shoot. It's probably not powerful enough for any kind of small game or rodent control, at least not a clean one shot kill. The weight of the gun and the feel in your hands is just like a real SA firearm. If your a fan of single action firearms and want to practice without using your true firearm then buy one of these to use at home in your garage or back yard ( neighbors/local laws permitting ) The are very quiet if compared to any Break-barrel and most pellet guns.

The gun looks and feels amazing. Did not rate the accuracy of the gun because I have not been able to shoot it due to the weather.

Nothing.

One of my favorites. It looks great, feels good to hold. The cocking action is great feels like the real thing.

Again the disclaimer white lettering on the right side of the barrel. A bluing pen will make it somewhat better.

I like the feel & the look & accuracy my friends love it too :) The only thing Im worried about is dependability 20 to 30 feet dead on lots of power

Nothing

I get at least 60 good shots mine is very accurate and good power for 15 to 30 feet buy as many cartridges that you can afford I have a 18 and lots of CO2 cartridges

The color , weight and feel of this Colt is spot on . I love it .

This is a "Must Have" gun, if you only have one, or a half dozen revolvers. It is an authentic looking replica of the real thing. It is really fun to shoot and does not make a whole lot of noise. You will probably get nearly a hundred rounds out of one co2 cylinder. The sights are rather small and it was not easy to make out the sight picture with these old eyes. I could not get really accurate groupings at any distance out past 6-7 feet. At 21 feet I could stay within 3 inches "most of the time" and that was with the aid of a rest. I will have to try some sort of paint/finger nail polish/white out, ect. to enhance the sight picture and perhaps get better groupings.

I would say better sights, but then you would not have an accurate replica!

Make sure you purchase at least a dozen extra bullets (2 packages of six), to make your shooting experience more fun, so you are not continually reloading bullets every 2 minutes..

I liked just about everything. I have several of these Colt saa pellet revolvers and all them shoot great.

Make the hammer close all the way.

Buy lots of extra cartridges they always come in handy.

Got my Duke Colt today and immediately started playing with it. At 5 yards using a single hand grip I was able to shoot 6 shots in about an inch with POI being very close to POA. I backed off to 10 yards and with a single hand grip I got 6 shots in about 3 inches. Moved to 8 yards and did a two hand grip with a rest and shot 6 shots in about 1.5 inches. This gun is far more accurate than what I expected from other reviews. I am very happy with this gun. I expect it is more accurate than I am now and as I get used to the gun the groups will get smaller.

I would love to see this in 22 caliber. With the hammer at half cock, the cylinder will not spin freely, it seems like it is hanging up on something. When rotating the cylinder by hand there is a spot between each round where you have to use some force to get the cylinder to move to the next round. Hopefully this will smooth out with use. Please get rid of that useless safety.
