Umarex Colt Peacemaker Review — The Gun That Won The West
Umarex brings the legendary Colt Single Action Army to life as a CO2 pellet revolver. This 1:1 scale replica matches the dimensions and weight of the original Peacemaker . The single-action mechanism works just like the real gun: you must pull back the hammer manually before each shot . A 12-gram CO2 cartridge hides inside the grip, secured by an Allen key that conveniently stores inside the handle itself . Available in a stunning nickel finish with ivory-style grips, this revolver captures the look and feel of the Old West .
Umarex Colt Peacemaker .177 Pellet — How It Works
You load the revolver exactly like the original. First, open the loading gate on the right side of the frame . Then drop a pellet into each of the six included brass cartridges . Insert the cartridges one by one into the cylinder . To fire, cock the hammer, aim using the fixed sights, and pull the trigger . After firing all six rounds, use the ejector rod to push out the empty cartridges and reload . The loading process is slow but incredibly satisfying — you genuinely feel like a cowboy from a classic Western.
Umarex Colt Peacemaker — Power and Performance
The rifled barrel delivers far better accuracy than smoothbore BB revolvers . Umarex rates the velocity at 115 m/s (377 fps) with a muzzle energy below 3.0 Joules . In real-world testing, owners report velocities between 350 and 400 fps . The revolver is not a hunting tool, but it excels at plinking and informal target shooting.

Owners consistently praise the trigger pull — it is very light at under 2 lbs with no take-up and a crisp release .
Umarex Colt Peacemaker — Build Quality and Realism
The Umarex Peacemaker is mostly metal with only the grips made from plastic . The nickel finish looks spectacular on the silver models, and the antique finish versions have a weathered, authentic appearance . The hammer action and trigger feel remarkably close to a real Single Action Army revolver. Owners describe the fit and finish as excellent . The revolver has substantial heft — 867 grams (1.9 lbs) — which adds to its realistic handling . The fixed sights are basic, but they line up naturally and work well for plinking .
Umarex Colt Peacemaker Problems — Honest Owner Feedback
The Peacemaker has very few genuine problems. Some owners wish the revolver had wood grips instead of plastic . The single-action mechanism means you cannot fire quickly; you must cock the hammer for every shot. This is not a flaw — it is historically accurate and part of the revolver’s charm. A small number of owners find the revolver underpowered, but that is expected for a sub-6 ft/lb CO2 pistol designed for plinking, not pest control . One reviewer noted the revolver is very quiet to shoot and would prefer a louder, more powerful version . On the positive side, owners consistently praise the build quality, realism, and sheer fun factor.
