Hey guys been looking at one of these pellet revolvers. I miss my old 357 magnum I used to have. Does anybody have one what do you think of it. I have been looking at all types and these seem to be the most realistic and accurate.

I had one of those a few years ago before selling it. It was reasonably accurate and nice and consistent with it's FPS but in terms of design it's kind of a bulky mess. The frame is about twice the width it should be and as a result has a comic-book sized hammer. The grips are oversized as well. The whole thing just looks and feels cheap in person.

Now there's a pellet/BB replica of the Dan Wesson 715, which is a bit more pricey but a much better designed air gun. The one downside is since it's a replica of the 715 the cylinder release is mounted on the crane. So if you're dead set on having a frame mounted release that might be a deal breaker for the 715. Anyway it's a nicer alternative to look into. I keep hearing the old S&W 686 pellet gun out performs these modern revolvers, but they're pricey and the old cheapo 10 shot plastic rotary magazine is a lot less fun to reload with than the modern alternatives with their dummy shells.
 
Got the nickel plated one pretty fun to play around with . Air soft bb need back spin to be any good . Realistic with the cartridges six shot but the speed loader has a hard time dropping the cartridges in to their chambers ( the loaders dimensions are larger that the cylinder and get hung up on the frame ) they are bulkier but handle well . Single or double action .
