    I'm glad the umarex zinc coated steel BBs worked better for you mate..

    I did think that our sponsor would be doing the spare shells for these but couldn't find any on their site !
    a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
    This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

    Thank's guys,the reason I ask is because I have seen a number of youtube reviews of them shooting 5 shot strings over a chrono' of well over 400 fps and in a couple of cases over 435 fps at an outside temperature of 20 degrees C.

    I just wondered if UK owners were seeing the same figures,because if so, I would be more inclined to buy one myself.

    Faster fps equals more interest in a bb gun in my book!

    ATB.

    Despite my reservations about these revolvers I just went out to my local-ish gun shop and came home with the blued version!

    I have to say, after shooting it I am more happy with it than is reasonable for an adult with a bb gun!

    I was surprised to find that at 5 yards if I wait between shots it will generally put 5 out of 6 bb's through one side of a proper steel bean can and surprisingly accurately too ,where I am it's currently about 12 degrees C!

    The overall finish of the bued gun is very pleasing,but it really was a toss up between the blued and nickel finished version that was also available in the shop.

    I think I'll pop back there in a few days and add the nickel one to the collection!

    They are pretty good
    Don't forget there is an Antique one and a US Marshal model.
    It's also best to have a pair of nickel ones

    I think you're right!

    I've also found myself somehow surfing the net for western gun leather!

    Please let us know if you find reasonable priced leather. My Nephew bought a nickel one recently, so a holster rig could be a great birthday pres' for him.

    You won't go far wrong with a John Beattie rig.

    I have one and can attest to the man's skill and friendly service.

    Is it possible to fire this SAA in the "fanning" way? i.e. holding the trigger and using your other hand to pull back and release the hammer. In the same way the real SAA can be used?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanning_(firearms)

    Not saying I'd want to do it, just curious if it's physically possible.
