    Will do, got 2 tins of pellets from yonks ago to try, wadcutter and round nose.

    First impressions, very heavy compared to some of the other makes and the trigger doesn't feel like 5lb 9oz single action as quoted on some of the reviews.

    Nearly bought a Peacemaker at the same time, but will wait to see if they bring out a rifled barrel version

    Those Steyr's are a nice looking bit of kit and a nice price too

    Got to say, i am tempted to buy one.. I have just bought a 357 (BB) in 6" and really like it.. But i now fancy a pellet revolver and fancy the 4" version just so its not a duplicate of what I already have.

    Is tye 4" version as highly regarded as the 6"?

    Totally forgotten how to shoot a pistol

    Changed front blade for the widest one, after trimming off the burr so it would fit.
    Rear sight elevation works opposite to everything else, turn anti-clockwise to raise it. Wasted first co2 cylinder, couldn't get it to snap shut by hand. Found easiest way to close it, was to press down on the bench. Loaded wadcutters right to the front of the mag. No jams at all. The Rubber grips feel good in the hand too.

    Bloody hell, this thing throws the pellets out with some force. I ended up putting ear defenders on to protect my ears from the pellet strikes on the backplate.

    40 good full power shots, then the next 10 start to drop as the mag is being emptied.
    Don't go passed 50 or you'll end up with a phutt and a pellet jammed just out of the mag, think this was shot number 55 if it happens, just use the supplied cleaning brush down the barrel to push it back into the mag.

    Trigger isn't bad at all, found it easier to hold towards the bottom of the grip, then finger inline with the trigger.

    Reckon, had I waited longer between shots, all 50 would have been similar power, but, hey, it was good fun
