    Excellent, one for the list definitely. Good to see there is none of the normal Umarex rubbish where they make fake moulded on controls or give it a moulded in cylinder that does not turn.

    Wonder if they will release a pseudo colour case hardened finish ??

    There have been S.A. Colts in CO2 around for over 50 years, but the new one looks like it has more conventional lines due to the capsule being inside. If it shoots as good as the Crosman SA6 there will be some happy punters.

    That's one of mine!

    The new one looks very good.
    But the old one shoots .22 lead pellets which is always going to win in the tin can war.

    Hopefully Umarex will produce different versions like the real steel.

    Cant understand why Crosman havent done this.
    Their loss.

    I have a Crosman SA6 and like it very much,but it is not a very accurate replica of the original it's also a real pain to load and not particularly accurate!This new one looks to be a very close copy of the original and for me that's where it triumphs,despite being a BB firer.

    I am really looking forward to getting one!

    Had no problem with accuracy with the SA6's used at our club. Not a bad replica except for the ugly CO2 cylinder under the barrel. Like the feel of the old hog leg in the hand, carried one in .357 daily for self defence in Africa, but would probably have been out-gunned by the opposition.

    True, that would have given me 10 shots (always carried it hammer down on an empty chamber), but I am hopeless left handed. Finally got into the 20th century with a 9 mil.
