I have been told this is the case!

Next week should prove interesting as I have three on order.
On the basis I wouldn't be successful!

Bit like buses I suppose.

Did they mention a price?

[hedgemumper]

Great minds must think alike as that is one I have requested a quote on!

Sorry, tell a lie it is the w150. it was £115 and each inert .45 round is/was 75p each.

Did they mention a price?

Yes.
Two expensive and one very cheap!

I rather like W37a, or W42 - not that I need one as I have one I bought from an auction a while ago.

It was not an easy decision but I've just ordered the W150. After my earlier comments about Young Guns, I guess it had to be the 'Billy The Kid!'

Fast draw evenings at Bisley.
Can I use my custom SA6s?
Don't forget I sling .22 lead!

Funnily enough we have a Man V Man event at Basingstoke on Tuesday evening. It involves shooting balloons and running back (not with a loaded gun mind!) to the start. I have been given special dispensation to use the .45 as the rules limit pistols to 6 shots. I guess if the SA6 only loads up with 6 rounds, it's within the rules.

Just 6 .22 slugs loaded into the front of the cylinder.
Crosmans take on the Peacemaker.

The earlier Hahn revolver has a clever system to load lead balls.
The spring magazine loads six balls and another 18 pop in as you fire.

[gingernut]

Mine have actually reached my friendly local dealer!

[gingernut]

Collected
Clearly a Class Act from Umarex
Subject to firing them!

Kibworth have them in stock now, all 3 models, nickel white grips, shiny black brown grips and the distressed ? used look with faded brown grips,
quite fancy the shiny black , looks like a blued finish as per original, but at £170 will have to wait till end of month

Good performance.
One 370fps the other 400 +.

Hits 10m cans easily but also takes empty shotgun cartridges at that range.
Small saucepan at 20 yards.

Well over 70 shots and not emptied a cartridge yet.

Operates very nicely.
Excellent job from Umarex.

Very impressed with these revolvers at the range. For a bb shooter quite accurate and good power. The finish on the black one is unusual, looks like normal blueing but is on an alloy frame. Wonder how they do it ? Seems to have an electroplated finish underneath the blueing. The only slight niggle is the hammer sits back slightly from the "down" position. Also like the silver version. They could have had the grip standard size as original by using 8 grm CO2, but I suppose the general public worldwide do not have availability of these as easily as the 12 grm.

Has anyone tried using the Dan Wesson Pellet cartridges with the peacemaker yet ?

[gingernut]

I think someone on Umarex Boys has.
Involved a bit of plastic trimming!?

I find it odd that people experiment with expensive new guns.
Different ammo,scratching off markings,using blueing pens etc.
Taking them to bits for various reasons.

But then I am a bit dull and unadventurous.
