    When I have ordered from them the only thing that I got from them was a knock on my front door a few days later when it arrived in fact the only way that I was shore that the order had gone through ok was by looking on my C-card site where it said that the money had been paid out.

    Other people will say that they got emails from them etc but I got nothing the only email that I ever got from them was when I ordered the colt python on pree order and I got worried after a month of nothing but they just said still awaiting stock to arrive and a week or so later it just arrived not the best communicators but trustworthy I would say.

    Got a message today saying the pistol has been shipped so they have them in stock.
    Sometimes I sits and thinks, but mostly I just sits.

    This is made me very jealous..

    My girlfriend loves revolvers, and many years ago I bought her an Airsoft Peacemaker just for show.. It was a quality (And expensive) gun (Tokyo Marui I think) but I went for the long barrel (Cavalry edition) and I think it looks hideous as its just too long.

    Much of it was plastic, and it wasn't very tactile due to the way that the Airsoft mechanism works.. And whilst she, loves it, I know she is disappointed by it as she wants the shorter one (I can think of too many jokes which could be inserted here)....

    If I could, I would change it for one of these.. I would have to sellon the Airsoft version and in truth, with UKARA and VCRB laws, I havn't got a clue how I would go about doing it.

    But I am going to keep an eye on this thread as I would consider getting her one of these....

    it will shoot steel BB's lead BB's and pellets quite happily. The pellets are the most accurate.It is quite easy to load the shells without removing then from the pistol. Its not as accurate as I would like but the sights are not exactly target sights. I think the cylinder is a bit small for a .45 peacemaker; there is a bit of a gap between the cylinder and frame and the walls of the cylinder are not thick enough for what are basically .357 cases.

    they no longer automatically send the tracking numbers out by email, you have to contact them and they will forward it by return. They have English speakers on staff who are polite and extremely courteous, in fact I have had better worded replies from versandhaus than some UK dealers I have used.

    I have always paid them using my natwest visa debit card. For this service there is an extra 4.4% added to the gross total (VAT is always added at their rate of 19%) but unlike the above poster I have never been charged extra by my card issuer for a euro payment? I know of others who have used transferwise with great success, as they arrange a bank transfer payment on your behalf and charge a flat fee of (I think) £1.00. Shipping for me has always been a flat fee of 16:65 euro, equates to approx £12:20 sterling, i'm fairly certain this gives you up to around 5 - 6 kilo before being charged more so it's worth adding a few items to make up the weight and get your moneys worth

    Every time I have used them it has been completely straightforward and trouble free but you MUST take the time to download the English PDF instruction AND READ IT PROPERLY. I have ordered from them on several occasions and every item has arrived well packaged and safe and usually within 5 - 6 days of being ordered and paid for.

    Back to the thread - I took delivery of my umarex SAA 2 weeks ago from them, can't post pics on this thread but click THIS LINK for my UBC thread. By using versandhaus I have acquired my pistol much sooner than waiting for the vast majority of UK RFD's to get them in stock, it was delivered straight to my front door and for at least £50 less than what my local RFD's are asking as a pre-delivery price. I am not knocking UK RFD's - they are obviously waiting for the their UK distributor to give them the green light (Armex?) but it is odd that these are coming to here from Umarex in Germany yet the USA get them before we do? My point being we are a lot closer!

    Sorry if this as been asked before but is there no restrictions on importing co2/airguns? does the parcel just turn up with no declations etc?
    I have read that most airsoft cant be sent and ends up waiting at customs for more details.

    Generally speaking, CO2 pistols just come into the country and are delivered with no problem. Best if you can get a tracking number so you can follow progress.
    Occasionally something can be held up in customs, though I once received a parcel plastered all over with AIR GUN sticky tape and it still just sailed through
