And some brown modelling clay in the grips to weight them a bit. Using pellets, this will be awesome.  |

Yep, + one on this for me too  I've waited this long already, I might as well wait a little longer for the right colour one to come along... |

Yes me too on the black, the steel grey version is alright but black will suit this model very nicely. Hopefully someone will come up with some aftermarket wood grips in the meantime as well 🤞🏼

I have decided that I will wait for the black version no matter what. I don't care if the steel grey one comes out tomorrow at half price, this black one does look fabulous. I will wait years if I have to.  |

I just received an email from Umarex about the 29 with a link.... www.umarex.com/search/m29/There still doesn't seem to be a mention of a darker version, in fact they describe the 'silver' one as a 'polished and blue' version  Does anyone have any 'concrete' evidence for the black/darker version being released or are we being guided by rumour & high hopes ? |

Only from the link I posted above where it states this: The frame is all-metal and uses a black electroplated finish to look as close as possible to the actual firearm it's based on, with a textured grip for a stable hold, with faux wood grain and the familiar diamond shape near the middle. The frame, grips, and other details such as the licensed markings mean that it requires a close look to determine it's an airgun and not the original handgun.And this looks black to me. But Maybe not?  Compared to this: Look at the Hammer.  |

I totally see the difference, definitely black... I'm just wondering if it's a special Pyramid Air/Umarex deal that they've done, very much like the custom shop Colt SAAs and the 'Ace in the hole' SAA they did a while back that they couldn't sell outside of the US. If it is, well that means that we're never likely to see these in the UK ! Which is a crying shame  |

Mind you PA are not saying it's an exclusive to them (like they did with the Custom shop versions), so maybe it will be a general release item after all......ooooh, the tension !
I'd definitely want the darker version, it looks far better than the silver/blue finish.

I doubt we will see one until then. |
