Some shooting results...
I went down to the theater today which is underground and is the quietest part of my home to test this out when I had a solitary hour. I fitted a new co2 cartridge and loaded six copperheads into the brass rounds. I have an old dartboard on the wall and attached the target to it. I walked across the room some twenty feet away and fired a cylinder's worth and reloaded and shot again. I think at the distance indicated that the flyers are my fault. When I concentrated, I got two in the bullseye and one round through the hole of another. The rounds fly so fast with new co2 that I cannot track them with my eye. That's something my old Crosman .177 pellet SAA could never do even when new. It is loud enough when fired that if you have nosy or cranky neighbors, they will be calling the Sheriff saying that a guy is out firing a gun in his backyard. *chuckles* I am very impressed by the quality and function of this Colt. ( Yes, that's one of the best parts, it is a Colt designed and manufactured in tandem with UMAREX ) The revolver is all metal except for the grips. Those are pretty sturdy ( as I learned today ) and different types will be available soon per UMAREX' website.
regards!
NOTE: The hex key for tightening the co2 cartridge into place in the grip frame is attached to the grip itself. Unlike other co2 guns, I did not hear the standard hissing noise as I punctured the cartridge and wound up cranking the handle around pretty hard. No problems at all resulted. I am very pleased with even the plastic and metal grip construction. This gun is definitely a keeper and will be highly desirable and scarce as time goes by.
