Air revolver/pistol

[Steve Milbocker]

I'm a revolver shooter and I was wondering if there is a pellet firing,(assuming more accurate than BB) revolver that is accurate enough to give you realistic practice indoors? I would prefer a revolver but I'm not opposed to a pistol if they are more accurate. I'm talking bulls eye accuracy not combat Thank you in advance for your opinions.

I have wondered this too.
I see the Colt SAA replicas and the Remington 1875 replicas at my local Bass Pro.
They look nice and have a good weight to them. I have wondered about their accuracy.

Hopefully somebody has some experience with them.

The old Crosman Python look-alike shoots pellets.

Since they are CO2, you won't get bullseye accuracy. If that's what you want, this is more your choice:

A good starter gun.

A serious competition gun.

The Smith and Wesson 586 4" I got from Pyramyd Air a few years ago should fill the bill. They offered 4" and 6" barrels (not interchangeable) and a hard chrome version called the 686.

Since I own a 'real' 4" 586 I jumped on it. It fires .177 pellets from a 10 pellet rotating magazine, has adjustable sights, and is accurate. Balance is similar to the 586 firearm but it is lighter. The trigger is good and you can fire it both single action and double action.

I have shot it indoors at targets quite a bit.

I highly recommend Pyramyd Air as a company. They have GREAT customer service, price, and selection. There are a ton of great CO2 powered revolvers, like a Crosman 38t that I used to own. Now I shoot a Beeman P17 just about every night in my garage. It has greatly improved my performance on the range. Look for wadcutter pellets by Crosman or Beeman. More enjoyable for target shooting.

The Dan Wesson Revolver on Amazon looks real interesting. Not cheap at $160 but actually loads like a revolver. Six cartridges that are loaded with BB’s.

I have a Walther CO2 CP88 and a Beeman Temptest. Both as accurate at 30 feet as I can hold them. The Temptest is a barrel cocked single shot however.

Look into a break barrel pistol. Or the Crossman American Classic they are single shot but very accurate.
They Classic can be modified to shoot up to 700fps in .22

SIG recently introduced a single stroke pneumatic target pistol that looks like a SIG P210.

Can someone explain to me why the Umarex S&W 686 4" bbl is $250, yet the Umarex Colt Python 6" bbl is $50 (both at Pyramid Air.)

Have seen that. Wonder how it stacks up against the HW75. Looks to operate in a similar manner, except on the HW75 there's a separate lever to open the top and the hammer is used to cock it.

I'm a bit late (only a month) to this thread but will chime in anyway. I have the SAA and Remington replicas along with a Dan Wesson plus some semi-auto replicas. Accuracy is greatly improved with each by shooting Hornady Black Diamond bbs and they are supposed to increase muzzle velocity a bit if that interests you. Umarex and Daisy also have their version of precision bbs. I purchased some of Daisy's but haven't put them to a test yet but know for a fact that the Hornady's make a big difference. More money of course but if accuracy is your game well worth it. Accuracy with regular bbs seem to be about the same with every bb handgun I own. That holds true with precision bbs also.

I also have some CO2 pellet handguns. Everyone of them is more accurate than any of the bb guns even when using precision bbs. My most accurate of all is a Desert Eagle replica which is no longer made. Off a rest at 25' it shoots one ragged hole. None of my BB pistols will equal that of course but are certainly good enough for realistic practice with the precision bbs.

I also have a Umarex Brodax pellet revolver which I bought on a whim because of it's funky look. It's a ten shot revolver that is quite accurate with the red dot sight I equipped it with and has a surprisingly nice trigger. It's less than 36 dollars from Amazon with free returns if it doesn't perform. I'm keeping mine.
