A very nice replica and surprisingly accurate too!!

[@jezzermeii]

You sold me this, and I'll be using pellets. I'll be sure to tell Vector Air when I collect it! I've been inspired to have a tentative go at pistols after the Paris Olympics. I have always used rifles until now but think this would go down well at my local range. Thanks a lot!

@@simonnoble7589 Hi Simon! I'm all good, thank you for asking. Been lately working on my HPAd Sig Sauer Canebrake (now at around 820fps/11.5fpe with 7.7gr pellets). And after an hour or so, when today's work is over, my four weeks of summer vacation begins.😁 How you been?

[@tarmacdemon]

Morning all looks an interesting gun I was impressed by the free standing shots not one miss and good grouping all in the kill zone .

[@nigelharvey3676]

Good morning Andy your reviews are outstanding I just want to say it would be nice if you wish British Olympic shooting team good luck as you are ambassador to the shooting community 👍👍👍

[@brorjordas1979]

Can but wonder how long the inner barrel actually is on this one. Not really impressive fps numbers (for a magnum(?) pistol😂)..

[@biggusdickus5986]

Yes because its just a copy and regulated power.

[@CaptDAR]

Including the forcing cone this smoothbore barrel is 5 3/4” long. As this 4.5mm version is adapted from the Airsoft version Umarex/Wingun probably used the same valve to keep their costs done.

[@CaptDAR]

Andy hope you don’t mind me making a suggestion. When carrying out your reviews you always cover FPS, power and accuracy tests. Could you not add on trigger weight pull tests for both SA and DA. I’m sure VA will have a suitable professional gauge. Many replica enthusiasts would appreciate this addition. From one of your critical commentators 😊

[@AAROnair]

@@CaptDAR I do have a pull gauge, ironically Vector Air has borrowed mine in the past, Occasionally i do include the pull weight, but I am mindful of the time restrictions of the video. I will often use it if the trigger feels exceptionally heavy, as will be evident in this weeks video. Stay safe.

[@CaptDAR]

@@AAROnair many thanks for your reply. My Competitor in DA ran the gauge out at 11.5 lbs so I suspect about 12 actual. Internals are being worked on as we type. Quality finish of the trigger mechanism parts is poor to say the least. Lots of polishing needed. Hope it’s worth it.

[@KeithPrince-cp3me]

Getting one!

[@DeeCee-nb6ev]

That red dot just looks wrong on that gun, being a different colour doesn’t help. Not very Dirty Harry either though i did notice you forgot you had fired six shots every time. 😁

[@Flukey_1970]

very good! I am sad to say ive owned a ton of CO2 pistols but ive never bought a revolver. I am going to add one to my collection. that was very impressive freehand with the red dot

[@CaptDAR]

Would have been if it was offhand. Ie, single handed. (The term freehand is incorrectly used) but he was using Weaver Stance.

[@Flukey_1970]

@@CaptDAR lesson learned haha. I did just mean rather than a bipod or rest on a bench. Single hand or two hand in that wind with what i presume a smooth barrel was impressive grouping for a co2 pistol etc

[@CaptDAR]

@@Flukey_1970 my apologies

[@RalfyCustoms]

Mesters, say no more mucka 😂

[@a5teroth]

They're going for around £200 or so. Lovely looking pistol but should be at least 500fps in my opinion. My £35 Daisy Powerline 415 is more powerful than that. Another great video by Andy though.

[@engineeredlifeform]

Dammit, that's a nice looking revolver, and I do have a weakness for wheel guns (Umarex S&W 586, Umarex Tornado, Umarex TR50, Crosman SR 357) and I keep eyeballing satin finish steel revolvers,.... with that red dot it looks like something from an 80s SciFi action movie. Another to add to the list.

[@x19man1]

I have the ordinary 629 version and its a very nice gun, but wildly inaccurate in double action mode due to the weight of the trigger. Good fun though.

Hi Andy from another Andy. Due to watching your channel I've started a collection,much to the chagrin of her that must be obeyed! My collection is pistols presently but am thinking in investing in a rifle for target stuff. Please correct me as a newbie but it would appear that you can only be as good as the gun and and scope with the only other ability required is to control breathing? Am I misinformed? Many thanks for the great channel,best wishes.

[@paulkopacz5051]

That's the most accurately made (looking) airgun revolver I have ever seen. The others just look odd. I understand that you are limited in power due to your laws but if that could achieve 500 FPS, I would absolutely buy one. As it is, not so much.

[@keithnorman3519]

I would look closely at the shells being interchangeable as the shells in the M29/44 they are slightly bigger in diameter. I’m a little disappointed in these reviews when you aren’t checking that shells etc actually do fit. The shells in the Barra 1866 for instance are NOT the same as the colt s/a army they are slightly shorter. So please do these little details it may save someone a bit of cash.

[@CaptDAR]

Best compatible shells to use are the Umarex SAA silver pellet shells.

[@fliesarenegade]

Andy, things have to be said... Watching your show is destroying my home economics...

[@sirbollocks609]

Hi Andy, this needs a full length rifled barrel as opposed to a 2.5" barrel followed by the rest of the barrel as a 6 mm spacer, Andy please start feeding this back, i dont expect pin point accuracy from these replicas but when i can use a catapult with more accuracy its a joke, the smooth bore version performs better than "rifled barrel" due to the self stabilizing nature of the diablo, please if you have any weight at all get them to stop doing this, i am refusing to buy from now on due to this, and i really wan one.

[@CaptDAR]

Problem for a while now as it’s a cost saving exercise by Umarex. Easy enough to change out the barrels anyway as I do.

[@sirbollocks609]

@@CaptDAR many thanks for replying, now this is interesting, where do you source the barrels from. I dont have a lathe so i cant reshape something like a crossman barrel to fit the bushing at the cylinder and the spring at the muzzle.

[@HEIN103]

Not for I don’t understand the point in this type of replica

[@Desperado3248]

Umarex has pretty much abandoned the US replica handgun market . They poorly rolled out the S&W 29 in 8 3/8 in bb version only. They should have offered a short barrel 31/2 and the 6 1/2 inch rifled barrel versions, and maybe a 4 inch Highway Patrolman, and a 5 1/2,barrel 1917. But they didn’t band the S&W 29 is fading into oblivion. This model you are reviewing is no better. A big bore bb, blaster that should have been a 22. Typical Umarex. Maybe it will thrive in the European market, but I see little of interest here

Useless barely moved the target...Umarex haven't a scooby doo what people want....like having a blunt knife.

[@CaptDAR]

Stay safe and shoot safe you say at the end of this rather poor review of this iconic revolver. You were using steel bbs which we all know are more than capable of coming right back at you. Why no ballistic glasses worn? This 6 shot revolver, yes 6 shots and not seven as you seem to think. Pulling on an empty cylinder is a beginner’s mistake. Just count correctly. Now this 6 shot revolver is produced by S&W’s Performance Centre of which you made no mention. You probably don’t know this as you never mentioned the removable barrel weights. Now I’ve owned one for several weeks now and the trigger in DA is terrible. Very very heavy. Is that why you took every single shot in SA? Im sure your watchers would have like to have seen you shooting in DA. After all it’s what a revolver is designed for in real steel use. As for referring to your free hand shooting which is a term used by the inexperienced. Proper term is “offhand” but you were using Weaver stance.
