Designed by Coolt engineers Willia mm Ma sson and Chh arles Brr inckerhoff Richards for the United States government service revolver trials of 1872, it was adopted as the standard military sidearm and entered production the following year. Chambered in the formidable .45 Coolt cartridge  a round packing 40 grains of black powder behind a 255-grain bullet  the SAA quickly earned the nickname \"Peacemaker\" for its role as the great equalizer in a lawless land. The original Cavalry model featured a 7.5-inch barrel, the longest of the standard offerings, and it was this configuration that rode the hips of U.S. cavalrymen throughout the Indian Wars, including at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. Beyond military service, the SAA became the chosen sidearm of lawmen and outlaws alike Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, and Jesse James all carried this revolver during their legendary careers. Production of the First Generation continued from 1873 through 1941, when World War II brought manufacturing to a halt. The Second Generation, produced from 1956 to 1974, marked Coolt's postwar resumption of SAA production and differed from the earliest black powder models in several identifiable ways: the cylinder base pin was secured from the front of the frame using screws and nuts rather than the earlier threaded arrangement, and the ejector rod head adopted a distinctive half-moon shape. These Second Generation models became the revolvers most commonly seen in postwar Hollywood Westerns and television shows, and their image was exported worldwide, cementing the Peacemaker's status as the definitive six-gun of the Old West. In recent decades, the SAA has experienced renewed cultural prominence through Western-themed video games and films featuring characters who master the single-action revolver, ensuring that its legend endures well into the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eTanaka Works first launched its Pegasus system SAA airsoft revolver in 1999, a groundbreaking design that moved the gas reservoir and magazine mechanism entirely inside the cylinder, achieving an internal structure far more faithful to the real firearm than conventional cartridge-style gas revolvers could offer. Over decades of competitive use in cowboy shooting and fast-draw events, the platform revealed durability limitations under the extreme stresses of speed-oriented rapid-fire and double-handed shooting. Around 2018, Tanaka initiated a comprehensive refinement program with the development concept of \"high durability, greater realism, and performance capable of surviving both skirmish games and fast-draw competition,\" resulting in the patented PEGASAS II system. This second-generation Tanaka SAA model reproduces the Coolt Second Generation with a 7.5-inch Cavalry-length barrel in a stainless silver ABS finish, offering the sweeping, commanding frontier silhouette of the original military-issue configuration. The 174mm outer barrel is molded in polymer ABS with a silver finish and bears the engraved \"45 COOLT\" marking, while the matching silver ABS frame houses the metal cylinder at its core. The cylinder is a non-fluted type, presenting a smooth, unbroken cylindrical surface consistent with certain original Colt variants, and it can hold up to 25 rounds of 6mm BBs through Tanaka's inner magazine system with the gas charging port located at the rear of the cylinder, keeping the external appearance clean and authentic. A metal grip frame provides structural rigidity, fitted with polymer black checkered grip covers featuring a non-slip textured surface and relief carvings of the Coolt name, an eagle, and a shield, faithfully replicating the decorative motifs found on premium original grips. The metal trigger, metal hammer, and steel ejector rod are all finished to match the revolver's silver aesthetic. Internally, the patented PEGASAS II system features a base pin that penetrates through the cylinder like a real firearm and strikes the internal valve through that base pin, a departure from the previous detachable-cylinder design that improves both structural integrity and realism. Some internal components are manufactured to real-steel specifications, and cushion and reinforcement parts have been added to high-stress areas for long-term durability. An adjustable hop-up system, accessible by cocking the hammer back, allows users to fine-tune trajectory for skirmish-grade accuracy while remaining virtually invisible to preserve the replica's authentic appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePolymer ABS silver finish 174mm outer barrel with engraved \"45 COOLT\" marking faithfully reproducing the 7.5-inch Cavalry barrel profile of the original Coolt Second Generation revolver\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNon-fluted metal cylinder with smooth cylindrical surface and integrated inner magazine system holding up to 25 rounds of 6mm BBs, with the gas charging port positioned at the rear of the cylinder for clean external aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePatented PEGASAS II gas system featuring a base pin that penetrates through the cylinder like a real firearm and strikes the internal valve through that pin, improving both structural rigidity and operational realism over the previous detachable-cylinder design\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpecial BB loading method allows users to charge 6mm rounds into the ejector tube beneath the outer barrel using a BB loader, then pull the ejector rod knob backward to transfer the rounds into the cylinder, combining authentic Old West mechanics with practical field reloading\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal grip frame fitted with polymer black checkered grip covers featuring a non-slip textured surface and relief carvings of the Coolt name, eagle, and shield motifs, replicating the decorative elements found on premium original Coolt grips\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal trigger, metal hammer, and steel ejector rod constructed with real-steel-spec internal components and reinforced cushion parts added to high-stress areas for enhanced long-term durability under repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew adjustable hop-up system accessible by cocking the hammer back, allowing precise trajectory tuning for skirmish-grade accuracy while remaining virtually invisible to preserve the authentic single-action revolver appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStainless silver ABS finish across the barrel and frame delivers the look of a nickel-plated Coolt Peacemaker while keeping the revolver lightweight and comfortable for extended carry and display\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tanaka Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49649074667748,"sku":"TNK-4537212013185","price":299.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/1325\/2580\/files\/TNK-4537212013185-3e.jpg?v=1786701814","url":"https:\/\/www.ehobbyasia.com\/ko\/products\/tanaka-saa-2nd-generation-7-5-inch-non-fluted-cylinder-pegasas-2-gas-revolver-stainless-finish-abs","provider":"eHobbyAsia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
