ASG Dan Wesson Air Pistol Revolver .177 Cal/4.5mm CO2 BB Gun Pistol

This was purchased as a replacement for an old airsoft pistol we had. This did not disappoint! It has good weight to it, but it's light enough for my 9 year old to use. It is a 6 shooter, so keep that in mind, after every six shots you will need to reload. If you do not want to take time to stop to do that, then this is not for you. It does take a minute to reload, but it is super easy. You can use the pullback, but it is unnecessary, as it is automatic. If you do use the pullback, you will end up skipping rounds, so make sure you run it so all rounds are empty. The safety is a bit hard to use for smaller hands, but it's manageable. It feels like it gets stuck at times, but using two thumbs to push helps. Overall, it's a nice little airsoft pistol, and my son believes he made a great choice over others he looked at.

What a great product. It looks like a real one, weight and feel are spot. Handles great

Call me old fashioned, but when I pick something up and it seems a lot lighter than I expected, it always breaks within 6 months. My son's last air pistol was like that. Broke within 1 week. THIS GUN IS HEFTY! I love it! When I picked it up 2 thoughts immediately went through my head: 1) This thing is gonna last! 2) My son will get an arm work out! Absolutely love this air pistol. My son and I have fun shooting it in the back pasture. NOW- keep in mind that this is not a magazine or hopper style gun. This is a revolver style. That means you get 6 shots, and then you need to reload. Some people don't like this, but I think it's superior for 3 reasons: 1) It trains your kid to be careful and make each shot count, rather than just spraying & praying. This not only saves ammo, but it makes them a better marksman and trains them to shoot more safely 2) It makes the gun feel less like a toy, and more like a tool they have to care for. It teaches them to open it up, reload, etc... 3) Much like with a real revolver, this mechanism is robust and lasts much longer than magazine springs. While we've only been using the gun for a few months, it seems like it will last a very long time. 5 full stars from me!

Okay I'll start by saying that when I received this I was very very excited and very shocked at how much it looked like a real gun and not like a BB gun or airsoft gun if you will. What I did not like was that it did not come with any CO2 cartridges or Gun oil which it says it needs when you are loading the BB's into the hollow bullets that they fire out of. Before I purchase this gun I knew nothing about airsoft guns and did not know I needed to have CO2 cartridges. It doesn't say a whole lot about that in the description. Furthermore I feel like it should have at least come with one and it definitely should have come with a small sample of the oil that it requires. Because it took me several trips to different Walmarts to find the gun oil and also I didn't want to spend $30 on a box of 12 to 20 CO2 cartridges so I wasn't happy about the price of the cartridges and that you could only buy them in such a large quantity. So now I'll tell you about the guns performance. It definitely does the job if you just want to use it too make it look like you were carrying a gun and hopefully would make someone think twice about messing with you and I am recently widowed so I'm often out shopping alone with just my daughter and I and I like to have this very visible as I am loading things into the car after we leave a store especially at night. It totally looks and feels like the real thing. Now as far as when I tried it out shooting at a Target, I did notice that the sights on it needed to be adjusted for sure which the directions did not describe how to do that very well. I compared it to the shotgun size BB gun that my 9-year-old daughter was given on her birthday last year that is about as big as she is LOL. But the sights on it are so perfectly spot on that she's able to hold the awkwardly large gun in her hand against her shoulder properly and hit the target every time by using the sites. So I tried this gun after I also practiced one time with the shotgun and I had a very hard time hitting the target. Also side note, the directions say that you can cock the gun after each time you fire it but actually that's not necessary at all you can just fire it six times back to back to back without having to cock it again. So overall I'm glad I got it, I don't currently still have it I did give it to a friend of mine who wanted it really really badly and I was also scared that it would end up getting me shot if someone approached me with a real gun and saw that I had what they would have thought to be a real gun and I just saw it to be a high risk deadly situation if it was the wrong time for me to pull it out against someone who was actually ready to pull the trigger to kill me and was set off by seeing me thinking that was going to kill them because they didn't know it was just a BB gun. Anyways I hope this helps I would recommend it, I do wish the directions were clearer and that it had come with the things that it needed but I do plan on buying another one I'm just not sure if it will be this exact model.

This is so cool! Extremely realistic so be careful

2 YEARS LATER and it still works like a champ. It's slick black look makes the gun look real. The weight is just like a real revolver and the fit is comfortable. I have it displayed in my office.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The speed reloader won't hold the rounds, the mechanics didn't want to work. The eject mechanism doesn't function correctly.

The weight is pretty balanced seeing as how the grip is made of plastic, there are some parts that rattle but that isn't a big deal unless you enjoy shaking your gun around instead of shooting it, loading is fun, and the firing mechanism actually makes use of the hammer and firing pin so props for simulation, but I could see that causing some irreversible wear after a while. overall, it is a really good gun for those who just collect and those who enjoy a little target practice.
