Colt Peacemaker Revolver

I was raised on single action revolvers. It started out when I got a pair of cap guns resembling Peacemakers for my 6th Birthday. I cleaned up the neighborhood. I ridded the community of bandits, bank robbers, rustlers and other two-legged varmint. It sometimes got me in trouble, but I was fearless and well armed. Later on, I got my first real gun. It was a Ruger Single Six. A few years later, I afforded a pair of Colt SAA in .45 Colt, followed by a few more. I still have 3 of these. These days, I don't get to the range much. I had bought a few air guns, mostly the CO2 type. I can shoot these in the house using a good pellet trap which I have 3 of them. The other day, while ogling and cleaning my precious Peacemakers, it occurred to me that Umarex makes these in .177 cal pellet, CO2 powered. I did some research and turned around and ordered one. I was a little skeptical, but the price was not prohibitive. On the day it came, I fell in love. This CO2 powered Colt SAA by far exceeded my expectations. I am amazed by its accuracy. On mine, the sights are right on. The ejection rod is functional but not really needed. In fact, when the gun is canted, muzzle up, the cartridges fall out by themselves. I dropped the first one on the floor, not expecting this. I got used to it. On the real Colt, the base pin can be removed in order to take the cylinder out of the frame for cleaning. On the Umarex replica one needs tools to do so. But with this gun that is not really necessary, and I do not recommend you mess with this. Just leave the cylinder in its place. I also ordered more cartridges to supplement the 6 silver colored ones it came with. I bought 3 sets of the gold/brass colored ones. They function just like the silver ones, but they cost less. Now, these cartridges do not resemble the actual .45 Colt ammo. Instead, they look a lot like .357 Mags. This does not bother me. If I want to show off I stick the Umarex into one of my Western style holsters/belts the loops of which are filled with .45 Colt cartridges. This revolver looks and feels like the real thing, and it weighs and balances the same. The grips are not like any I ever saw and laid my hands on, but they are very nice looking. I just pretend they are custom made which they are, in a sense. Cosmetically, this gun looks amazingly like the real thing. There is one visible deviation from the real article. On the grip frame, right where the hammer and the frame meet, there is some black in color polymer type insert. I guess this has to do with it being a CO2 powered replica. There is nothing one can do about this. I can live with it. I tested it on my 8 meter range in my shop. I use RWS Meisterkugeln pellets, the only ones I ever use as they have always worked for me, for decades. My first group of 6 shots were right on target and I could cover the hole with a Nickel. I guess I was a little flakey from all the excitement about this new gun. The next day, I shot 3 more groups of six rounds all of them I could easily cover with a dime. Well, I have decades of experience with all kinds of air guns and fire arms including US Army MP Corps for nigh 8 years. Overall, I am very very pleased with this version of a Peacemaker. I can only recommend to all who have knack for it. You won't be sorry.

This bad boy is worth every penny. The best simulated peacemaker experience you can have sans the real thing. Heavy, accurate, fun, and Fuggin CHEAP!! My only grip is the hammer doesn’t fully seat making fanning a little rough on the non dominant palm. Questioning whether I should grind and de burr a little bit or just leave it be. Must have if you like BB guns or just guns in general.

I held one of these in my "saved for later" cart for 2 - 3 years. Finally bought it, and am really happy I did! Easy to use, nice .177 pellet power. Feels solid. Great fun. AND so much easier to keep this on the shelf for quick access to shoot the stupid deer that eat our flowers. Not as accurate as your basic Crossman pellet CO2 air rifle, but accurate enough to sting those rotten daylily munching marauders.

Stunning pellet pistol! The accuracy of the Colt Peacemaker is captured quite well and is quite remarkable. The.weight and feel are captured aaccurately, as well. Loading pellets into the cartridges is not easy, but the accuracy of the pellets are well worth the effort. All parts are fitted well. What a pleasure to hold and shoot. I am well pleased with this pistol. Remember to get some air chamber lube for the protection of the air system and enjoy this solid representation and this Colt Peacemaker. Buy with confidence!

So far a great shooter. No problems. Easy trigger pull.. very accurate out to about 25ft Very authentic looking .. Nice weight and feel. Best choice I’ve made so far in selecting an air pistol..

I just received the revolver yesterday and I honestly can't believe how incredibly close the quality, feel and realism are to the actual Colt Peacemaker. I can honestly make that claim as I once owned the real deal. The only visible differences are the length of the grip (the Umarex model is longer so as to accommodate the CO2 cylinder). The hammer is set a small distance away from the cylinder frame due to it being CO2 powered, and from my memory, the cylinder on the actual Colt 45 could be freely rotated (spun), whereas the Umarex version cannot. Yes, it can be rotated but not spun. None of this takes away from the gun at all. I'm truly amazed at how very very close it is to the original. One thing for sure is that if you want the original Colt Peacemaker 45, be prepared to pay over $2200 for it. I can't comment on how well it fires as I haven't used it as yet, but I'm quite sure that it will shoot fine based on Umarex's reputation for producing excellent quality CO2 powered guns. OK, I do have one complaint and that is how the gun is packed in the box. Not the gun itself but in the way they just jammed the paperwork inside the box. The manual is badly bent out of shape. They could have placed all the paperwork lying flat in the box behind the gun. But it is still readable. I dinged it a star because of that. But I do like the box and how great the printing on the box is. If you want a piece of the old wild west at a fraction of the price of a real peacemaker, go for it. I'm sure glad I did. I'm so excited about this that I might just get a holster so I can once again practice the fast draw. LOL EDIT: I finally got to shoot it. I felt like I was loading the real Colt. Fired perfectly with a very light trigger. AWSOME! Be aware that as one can easily fire it prematurely if one is not familiar firing a gun with a feather trigger. WARNING: Keep your finger outside of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. Like I said, it does have a light (feather) trigger. Well done Umarex.

Very good quality

This thing is a very good buy! Looks fantastic and action is smooth feels very durable . Grip feels good in the hand. I think it deserves a two thumbs up 👍 .
