I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago, and love the thing, half the weight of my 629 and 7 shots. Always preferred smaller guns and if the real stuff was available a Ruger 22 would do me just fine ( I do ofcourse have the 177 air pistol)
Not without its problems tho, shoots 1" low and 1" to the right @ 6 yds, around 300 fps with Wasps. Fair grouping tho when rested.
The pistol has 3 ugly, bulky allen cap screws on it and they are crying out to be changed.
The Real Steel was .30 cal but the muzzle is bored out to .40 cal so the alloy is thinner than it should be at the muzzle.
I read somewhere that the short rifled barrels fitted to our revolvers may be due to them being expensive Walther barrels...don't think so.
Took it apart and the barrel crown couldn't be much worse, for some reason there is a tapered lead at the muzzle end that is machined terribly off centre, effectively making the crown approx 30° instead of 90° to the barrel.
Anyway, it now has a full length Crosman barrel, 4.5" in 177 (very briefly thought about .30 but then thought of a 22 but as it shoots low I stuck with 177)
Very pleased I did, after 21 shots, I chrono'd it on the same CO2 at the wife's room temp of 25°C and it averaged 415 fps with hobbys, around 2.7 ft lbs with a max of 447fps and min of 397 fps, resting between shots.
Double checked the chrono with my Webley Nemesis (it has always been very consistent at 360 fps) and it was spot on
It still shoots 1" to the right but it's spot on height wise.
