About Real Gun
The Colt SAA, also known as the Coltt Peacemake, is a famous and iconic revolver that was first introduced by Coltt Manufacturing Company in 1873. It is a single-action revolver, meaning the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot. The SAA quickly gained popularity and became one of the most widely used revolvers of the American Old West.
The Coltt SAA is chambered in various calibers, including .45 Coltt (also known as .45 Long Colt), .44-40 Winchesterrr, and .38-40 Winchesterrr. It features a revolving cylinder with typically six chambers, which are loaded with individual cartridges. The revolver has a distinctive design, characterized by a solid frame, a single-piece grip made of wood or synthetic material, and a fixed front sight with a rear notch.
The SAA played a significant role in the history of the American West, being the preferred sidearm of many famous figures such as lawmen, outlaws, and cowboys. Its reliability, durability, and power made it a favorite among shooters. The SAA's reputation for accuracy and its association with the romanticized image of the Wild West have contributed to its enduring popularity.
Over the years, Coltt has produced various models and configurations of the Single Action Army revolver. It has also been reproduced by other manufacturers due to its iconic status. Today, the Coltt SAA remains in production and is highly regarded by firearms enthusiasts and collectors alike.
About Airsoft
For the airsoft world, Tanaka Works has given us the opportunity to experience the legendary gun in its absolute peak physical form. Tanaka Works' rendition of the 2nd generation Airsoft Colt Single Action Army is jaw-dropping as they are well-known for their exquisite model cap guns and extremely realistic airsoft revolvers. The "PEGASAS II" 2nd Generation Colt SAA gas airsoft revolver by Tanaka Works is their latest offering of realistic airsoft revolvers, especially ones that are steeped in history.
The Pegasas II system is a direct upgrade from their previous Pegasus I (do note that the "a" and the "u" are not a typo), featuring an adjustable hop-up and a full-length cylinder base pin that adds more realism and a stronger structure to the replica. The Pegasus system itself is unique because it does not use shells like traditional airsoft revolvers do but instead holds the BBs in the cylinder like a magazine and the gas is charged in the back of the cylinder, meaning that apart from the barrel, the cylinder and the frame being designed for airsoft, internally, some parts are compatible with its real steel counterparts such as the hammer assembly, the trigger assembly, the cylinder stop, and the grips. Now before you start thinking about converting their toy guns into something that is NOT a toy, Tanaka Works has implemented various safety precautions to prevent such conversions like the dimensions being vastly different for the cylinder, barrel, and frame.
The Pegasas II Airsoft Colt Single Action Army itself feels incredible to hold in your hand and is surprisingly hefty, featuring metal internal parts, a metal cylinder shell, and a zinc powder-reinforced ABS plastic body. The action is butter smooth and also has the signature "C.O.L.T." 4 clicks when cocking the hammer and just like the real steel Single Action Army, the trigger is very light and crisp. To load the gun, the user must half-cock the hammer to allow the cylinder to rotate, load the BBs in the front of the cylinder or put the BBs in the ejector tube and simply rotate the cylinder and pull the ejector rod to load the Single Action Army. The loading gate is where you charge gas, using a specific gas-charging nozzle attachment that is included in the box. Simply rotate the cylinder until you find the appropriate charging port. Once the airsoft revolver has been loaded, the user must decock the hammer to its neutral position before fully cocking it back to shoot, otherwise, wear and tear will occur and can potentially damage and ruin the timing of the cylinder.
Shooting the gun is a blast, to say the least with all the clicks and clacks expected when cocking an Airsoft Single Action Army revolver. Though the gun does not have any blowback, the weight of the hammer slamming forward does give the gun a unique feel when pulling the trigger as the hammer spring is incredibly strong. I would say that the feeling is akin to shooting an open bolt gun but in purely semi-auto. The resulting bang is louder than expected and is quite satisfying. The gun is fully skirmishable and is perfect for any wild-west loadout whether it be lawman or outlaw.
Overall the Tanaka Works "Pegasas II" 2nd Generation Airsoft Colt Single Action Army gas airsoft revolver is a welcome addition to the pew pew world.
