Ace in the hole Colt

Umarex certainly is offering their SAA in seemingly endless finishes and configurations,which is great as for decades there was a much lamented gap in the market for a convincing Co2 replica of this iconic handgun.

I do hope,however ASG bring out an SAA in competition to the Umarex.So far their MK V1 Webley and Schofield seem slightly better constructed,thought out and more robust!

If ASG were to make an SAA to more robust standards than the Umarex version and with a removable cylinder I think it would be a big success!

I think Umarex hold the Licence from Colt so that ain’t going to happen.

Bazs sight on my Custom shop looks cool.
I need to do an accuracy test now.
Which was a bit pointless before!


I am warming to my Crosman Sheridan since I realised that it actually prefers bbs and performs well with them.
Makes sense for a Crosman.

I wonder if the Colt licensing pertains only to the name rather than the design?

I would imagine any patent of the original design expired decades ago?

Regardless,let's hope ASG or even Umarex are in licensing discussions with Ruger!

Oh! and let's hope a Co2 version of the Bisley appears,too!

I guess name only as you say.
So in theory we could have a Taiwan clone.

Fingers crossed we will see other western models from the more imaginative manufacturers.I like my Sheridan Cowboy very much,too,by the way,I use bb's exclusively in mine as well.
