Page 4 of 7 - Colt Duke Weathered Reviews

Weight Feels good in the hand, looks authentic except for the writing on the barrel...

The only thing I don't like about this gun is that the handle is way too slick feeling, if the grip had a weathered feeling to it I'd give this replica a 5 star rating

It looks and feels like a authentic 45

Making the grips out of wood and a metal duke emblem

I like everything about this product. I've been a cowboy action shooter for more than two decades now and I own several of the real Colt .45 Peacemaker SAA revolvers and this particular product is the closet replica to the real deal that I've seen yet. It feels like the real thing, it handles like the real thing and other than not having that .45 caliber kick, it shoots like the real thing! I have found the revolver to be very accurate and for those who have commented about not being able to adjust up/down sighting, if you know anything about the real Colt Peacemaker, one can file the front sight to get the exact specs one is looking for which is exactly what I did and the revolver is dead on sight now! I highly recommend this weathered model for ayone wanting a nice Colt Peacemaker replica that they can shoot and have fun with.

I don't know that I would change anything other than the safety switch at the bottom of the cylinder frame.

The reason the hammer is not all the way depressed is because by doing so it releases all of the CO2 gas from the cylinder. When the cylinder gets low, press the hammer forward while pulling the trigger and that will expel the excess gas remaining in the cylinder that is too low to fire the pellets.

As an old west actor and a member of SASS for years, this Colt SAA Peacemaker is THE best replica of any real Colt Peacemaker I've ever seen. I personally own a pair of 2nd Generation Colt SAA Peacemakers and when I put them next to this replica it's hard to tell the difference in appearance, weight and its mechanical operation. This is a must have for cowboy gun collectors and anyone who enjoys shooting the old west six-shooters. I would definitely recommend this Colt replica pellet six-shooter without hesitation. This is one nice piece.

Wood grips would have been nice but these grips are just fine and of good quality. The only other thing I think I would have changed is I would not have designed the little safety switch under the frame just forward of the trigger guard. This gun in real life is a single action revolver so the safety is actually built in since one is required to pull the hammer all the way back in order to fire the revolver.

I think the only thing I would say that others should know about this particular Colt SAA Peacemaker replica is it is a "MUST HAVE" for anyone who enjoys the old west six-shooters and the quality of this particular replica is top notch in my opinion. I don't think you'll find a better replica in appearance, weight and operation of this six-shooter. Colt did great designing this replica six-shooter!

A very faithful replica of the Colt Single Action Army Peacemaker, with similar feel, handling and nearly identical operation. This would make a good procedures and handling trainer to introduce the SAA. Very accurate laterally - I hit a 2" wide target at 25 feet consistently - but the vertical impact point is off a bit and cannot be adjusted, given the fixed sights. This is a really fun cowboy gun and plinker, but not a serious target pistol. Weathering looks quite good, as if this air gun has had extensive carrying and use.

There is no need for the mechanical safety, since the original SAA never had one. In my example, the safety was VERY stiff and hard to operate - it took a small screwdriver to switch it off the "safe" position for the first time, and it will never be switched back on. I bought three extra sets of cartridges to have on hand, and they seem rather expensive at $10 per set of six.

Although this airgun replicates a .45 caliber firearm, the cartridges are actually about .38 caliber. I first grabbed a rack from .45 ammo to hold and store the loose cartridges, but had to switch to a .38 caliber. Ammo loops on a gun belt need to be sized for .38 rounds to work.

Everything about it!!

As many others, the 'half cock' of the hammer. Not a big deal but if it could be engineered to fully drop, it would enhance the appearance.

A real value!! Quality build! As a lifetime single action 'nut', I've owned several. Currently have two, Colt .45LC pistols and I'm a member of SASS. Comparing it to my Colts, I'm very impressed with the complete similarity!! Weight, action and feel of the pistol is identical. So far, I've put more that 500 pellets thru the pistol and it just gets better!! Accuracy is superb, once you get to know the trigger. Sight picture @ 15 yards is a perfect 6:00 hold. Destroys Diet Soda cans off my back deck!! . I'm very pleased and will enjoy plinking with it for a long time to come!!! 5 stars in every category!!

Looks and feels good, I was surprised at the weight when the Fed-Ex driver handed me the box. It looks right at home with my Western-style holster and gun belt. It's a fun shooter, definitely worth the money.

Nothing.

The safety on my unit was difficult to operate at first. I put a couple of drops of oil on it and it has loosened up with use. Also, the trigger pull is very light; be careful. I bought one extra set of shells (it comes with six), if it's in your budget you might want to get at least 2 or 3 extra sets.

I am a 75 year old USAF veteran and have owned & shot firearms since boyhood, including a Crossman pellet pistol which I still own. I am totally impressed with the "Duke Colt" and would recommend it highly to anyone interested in a new age pellet pistol.

Absolutely nothing.

A little pricey perhaps but well forth the price when workmanship is considered. I have owned the "Duke" for a very short time so I cannot speak to its durability and hopeful that it has a long lifespan and trouble-free performance.

Lots of fun to shoot. Great weight and balance. Easy to load. Looks great - very authentic.

A little more power.

Looks good, feels good in your hand. Fit and finish are very nice. Like the Logo's.

The hammer looks like it is on half cock all the time. Shells are gold in the pictures but are silver when you get them. The Shells don't fit very well (loose) so the gun rattles when you shake it.

Generally very nice collectors pistol.
