After watching a few reviews on these Colt .25s, intrigue got the best of me once again. I purchased the "Colt" branded black, then followed with the nickel, which had a 3 month back order. I wasn't expecting much, but man O' man, what a most pleasant surprise ! These little beauties are robust, VERY well built, and as tiny as they are, quite solid in hand. Surprisingly snappy blow back, fully field strippable, full drop out mag, and although 6mm, such a pleasure to shoot. An excellent representation of the real steel. These are more a collector's item, as power and accuracy are what one might expect.....lol. Came with threaded barrels, although I have the regular non threaded version on order. A couple of my favorite replicas for sure.....          |

They're really nice buddy I'd love one myself, there's something about a little sock gun that appeals to me, I think that's why I ended up with a SIG P365. I'm really looking forward to the Goblin Atom (aka the 'noisy cricket', lol) when they finally get around to releasing it.  ( It's not a typo, I did it twice 'cos you got two of them, lol) |

I love a small pocket pistol. I once owned a `Baby Browning` in .25acp that I used to keep inside a hollowed out book.!!
These W.E. models look terrific.
Pete.

I’ve been seriously thinking of these. Lovely and the little silencers look great.

Thanks mates ! These really look sweet with the regular non extended barrels. The threaded version was sent to the states so the mandatory orange tip can be installed, which I believe is not mandatory for UK airsoft guns ? Sorry for the slightly blurred pix, as the engraving is actually sharp, deep, and clean. I also should have taken a pic with the slide locked back. It really does look like a "mini me" 1911....lol . Thanks for the Replica Airgun Forum sticker David.....😄

There was one of the Canadian airgunners who did a review on it a good few years ago, I must admit that I did look into getting one after I watched the video and he stated how well made they were ! Hang on, I'll see if I can find it on youtube, brb....
Here we go.....

Just found an Airsoft Mike video on it too....
Okay it's the WE non-branded version but essentially the same thing (I think....).

Noooooo......not an airsofter at all.....lol. But I must admit, the airsoft assortment of guns available are for the most part top notch, quality items. Also, if you're a replica collector, sometimes the only option you have is 6mm. For example, I'm a big John Wick fan, and the only fully licensed, fully marked/logo'd John Wick 3 Taran Tactical 2011 pistol I HAD to have only comes in airsoft. You can get the more generic BB version, but it just doesn't compare. Since this will be more of a display unit, I'm quite ok with it. The added bonus however, is, it's still quite accurate at 10 meters, on the occasion I'll be plinking with it, albeit 6mm. Another example would be a beautiful little chromed Derringer I needed for the Wild West collection. Just couldn't find one in BB or pellet. Don't even know how they'd fit a 12 gram cartridge in one of those , or the Colt 25 non the less.......😊

Those Colts are indeed very nice. I have an older, less nice version that was bought for giggles way back, yours are very much nicer looking examples. If it's a Derringer you need to scratch an itch there is a current 6mm version which runs on green gas rather than CO2 if that would interest you? An update of the older Marushin(?) gun.
I have the black version myself, and a plan, plot might be closer than plan tbh.
Pretty sure there's even a video out there of a guy modifying it to take Dan Wesson shells for a little more realism and it's not even a hard (looking) mod to perform.

So, you guys swayed me . .... Today I ordered the W.E. Colt 25 in black, should be here tomorrow. At 220 fps it won`t be so much a grape buster as a grape bruiser. ! But being full metal, of good quality and full blowback what it will be is ` a load of fun`.
Pics and review to follow soon.
No grapes will be safe.
Pete.
