Umarex Peacemaker.....let's see shall we...?

[harvey_s]

I see the Umarex Peacemakers are now available for pre-order in the states inc. a US Marshals special edition.
Pyramid Air have them priced at $119 which is about £80.
I'll bet they don't go here for that...
What price do we think they'll get flogged for in rip-off Britain then?

150 to 200 quid here I reckon,but I hope to be pleasantly surprised!

[boozybloke]

Well the colt python retails at £110 - £140 so I'm going to out on a limb and say rrp of £119.99

Waiting for the Outlaws Special Edition.

Tried on my two Crosman SA 6s yesterday.
They are a hard act to follow as far as handling is concerned.

The co2 fitting on them isnt pretty but they also sling .22 lead.

But credit to Umarex for going for an Icon.
I guess £150.

[Binker]

£144 before VAT.

[laverdabru]

I'd guess £150/60.

Ball park figure...I would guess double the US price...maybe £160; but I hope it is less. Pyramid can sell a shed load (a very large shed), as they know they can shift them by mail order (Amazon.com likewise).

These look more suited to a specialised collectors market than some of the other (D/A) revolvers, so maybe not stock/sell as many in the UK. Let's hope the price is not as high as some other specialised modern collectables...like the Webley Mk VI.

The nickel one looks like it will not show up marks as much as the 'blued' one (i.e. as the cylinder rotates). Interesting from the Pyramid photos how the bbs are fed into the rear of the shell, and how each shell is loaded into the cylinder one at a time.

Yep, it's not quick to reload a gate loader, the trick is to carry 2

I have a lovely Pietta 4.5" which is basically the real deal with a blank fire barrel and cylinder. Looks great with blued steal barrel and cylinder and a colour case hardened frame with walnut grips. The Umarex version doesn't look quite as good but I bet it will cost half what the Pietta did and I'll be getting at least one anyway.

It always seems funny to me that you can not in the uk but most othere countrys buy a colt 45 clone made by Pietta or uberti that is made of good quolity steel and will shoot .45 .38 or .22 for not much more than we have to pay for what is really a munky metal .177 toy ok the co2 one is a lot more complecated that the real deal but it does make you think.

[short-carabine]

£190 at a guess. People will still buy it at that

[jassi]

I agree, I think we'll see it priced at about the price of the Webley.
Note that the Nagant revolver is priced even higher, so I can't see the Peacemaker being a low cost item.

[harvey_s]

The Webley VI costs $200 in the US and that works out at about £140.
Although most retailers here seem to punt them out for 35% more at £190 here...although the odd good egg has them on sale for £160.

On that basis adding 35% to £80 works out at just under £110...which although over-priced would be about Dan Wesson levels.

Personally, the cynic in me senses the opportunity for some blatent profiteering here in the UK by either the importer or the retailers or both...although I would like to be proved wrong

Ouch....£190/£200 for single action only

If they sell for £80 in the US (presumably at a profit), makes one wonder what they cost straight out of the factory before shipping/taxes - maybe £40 or less Purely academic, as we know the inescapable impact of various middle men that affect the price considerably before we see the product in the UK (importers/shipping/taxes/wholesalers/domestic post/retailers).

.....On that basis adding 35% to £80 works out at just under £110...which although over-priced would be about Dan Wesson levels....

I'd consider it at that price

Can you get a Dan Wesson for that price any more? They seem to sell for upwards of about £130.
