Did I order five or six?
I got a package I completely forgot about. Back when I had ordered the fully automatic BB guns, I had ordered a few other items that interested me. Some were on back order. This package was waaaaay on back order. So much so it was a very pleasant surprise when it arrived recently.
Of course I had to get it, it's just too cool. Very nicely done and licensed by Umarex. What's not to love.
I haven't been able to shoot it yet as it's too cold for CO2 outside and I don't have anything set up inside yet for indoors at the new place. It's all metal and 8 and 3/8 inches barrel make for a handfull. A nice red ramp front sight and nice finish make it a winner in my book. I can't wait to get this one outside in the spring.

Love it! You MUST do a range report on this one, but I'll probably just get one, anyway.

Sweet!!! The kitchen should be warm enough to test fire that beauty. The worst that could happen is that you put a dent in the fridge door.

Looks like those cartridges would fit mine. This is under my RV sofa.

"Looks like those cartridges would fit mine. This is under my RV sofa."
I think you are right Gene. I haven't gotten around to getting any of the others out, but I think that as much as this one is a "44 Magnum", the cartridges are all the same size and that would make it a model 27, .357 magnum. If I get a chance, I'll get out a few of the others and compare the cartridges. How do you like that legends lever action Gene?

With a lot of time on my hands, I just might have to figure something out. To be continued.

Re: Did I order five or six?
Wow that is really a very detailed S&W revolver! Top dollar for that one with pinned barrel and no lock. I have a .357 Dan Wesson CO2 revolver that uses same type shells. It is so realistic that real .357 ammo will fit the cylinder!! I made up some extra shells using some 357 brass by opening up the primer holes and also found a type of plastic rod to make more bullet heads.
Yes do a range report on that one!
