this is the first review i've done on any gun so i'll try to cover all points as best as i can.
upon receiving my S&W the first thing i saw was the blue abs case with the usual folding plastic hinges and the S&W logo
first appearances
on opening the case the outlay was nice and didn't look ''cluttered'',the pistol looked well made and definitely gave the appearance of a quality gun.
lifting the gun out of the case i definitely got the idea that this gun was solid,well made and a proper handfull but as it is german made you can't expect anything else.
the only thing i could see being a problem would be for the user with small hands,the grip is a fair size and i would think a small handed user would have problems getting to grips with it.
first shots
loading the co2 capsules up and loading the magazine is quite straightforward but do read the instruction manual regarding the capsule loading,the gas is cold and can cause cold burns.
the sights on this gun are very good and you get 3 different thicknesses of foresight blades.i found the thickest blade aided accuracy.the adjustment was quite positive.
if you wish to use a red dot/scope then 11mm/weaver rail adapters are available.
the best feature by far is the trigger,straight from the box it is smooth,light,predictable and very comfortable with its nice broad trigger blade.
i could say its the rekord equivilant in a co2 package?
the accuracy is very good,20 shots all in a £1 coin size circle and would be better with a red dot sight.
conclusion
for around the £100-£110 price mark i'd say this was a very capable co2 revolver and certainly the best co2 gun from the case.
big points are the trigger,sights and the option of having 4'',6'' and 8'' barrels.
the longer the barrel the more accurate it is i suspect but the 8'' barrel would be very muzzle heavy so i'd recommend the 6'' as a start point.
bad points
the chunky grips not been suited to small hands,i'd say there is only 1 bad point........its not available in .357 magnum :D
