    I'm in Québec, Canada and I've just received mine today, and all I can say is WOW! You were right on all counts! This is a big revolver, the finish is incredible, great velocity, great accuracy, this is a very very cool airgun replica, I do feel lucky! I own a lot of BB airguns replicas, and this is my favorite one, along with my P08 (also from Umarex).

    Im from the UK and have been a big fan of the Dirty Harry movies since I first saw Magnum Force on TV back in the late 80s. Recently discovered the replica was available on preorder. So have placed an order for the 3 and 6.5 inch barrel versions. Wasn't sure about the dark chrome finish at first. But after seeing this review, I can't wait to get it. It's a truly beautiful piece

      Hi Michael, Dirty Harry was such an icon growing up and his "44 Magnum Model 29" was what all my buddies talked about. I had a neighbor kid across the street, his dad, George, had a M29 6 1/2" and it was such a treat to show it to us on that rare occasion. Living in SO CAL I had friends and family that lived in the bay area. So I was somewhat familiar with Inspector Callahan's city😉. Thank you for watching 👍

    Good review. I'm a "Smith and Wesson guy." I don't know how many (The real things) I've owned over the years but it's been a bunch of them. If they made one of these with a 4" barrel, I'd order it today. I've never cared for any barrel longer than 5" and prefer them in the 4" range. Heck. I might make an exception for this one.

  • @Desperado3248
    @Desperado3248 Před 3 lety +18

    They will probably go the same route as the Peacemaker, bb first then pellet version and other barrel lengths. The big mistakes in the Peacemakers were not using a bright blue finish and chemical case colored frame , and the big mistake no 4 3/4 barrel. In the 29 I would have offered the 6 1/2 barrel first. If Umarex wants to be bold and daring, they should now do a 4 and 6 model 19. Who dares, wins

    • @James-0075
      @James-0075 Před rokem

      I own the 6 inch BB version of the model 29. And I love it. I would have preferred it to have a blued finish like the original. I'd love to see Umarex bring out a replica of the Smith and Wesson Model 19 in a 2.5 and 4 inch barrel version.

    Very well done review, thank you for all your reviews, very helpful to us all !! I recently bought the M29. It is probably as accurate as my 38 , 357, 9mm and .22 pistols out to 15 to 20 yards and that is about all anyone could expect. Very enjoyable to shoot. I set about 6 - 10 cans hanging from a string at different ranges and see how fast I can hit them. As fun as a firearm, but costs next to nothing to shoot. I would rather it had an 8-pellet rotary clip like the gamo 776 , but OK as is. would like to see a rifled barrel as an added-on option.

    Hey JC, as always another excellent video.
    I've been watching your videos for a little over a year with my kids. You're one of our favorite channels.
    I'd like to make a request.
    Add a public service announcement to your videos warning people that if they go out with an airgun they should be very careful because these easily look like the real thing.
    Every so often I hear about some kid getting killed by an officer because the officer mistook the kid's toy gun for the real thing. It breaks my heart when I hear about something like that cause I have little kids too.
    In all my years pesting, I've had cops called on me twice.
    Luckily, my first time I had been following the law and I was on my own property ratting. I even made sure that I was shooting from an elevated position towards the ground, I had put out food bait in a specific area that was away from possible pedestrian traffic, and I had informed both some of my neighbors and the desk sergeant of the local police district.
    Unfortunately, I didn't inform all my neighbors. The cops were called, and there was a bit of a hassle untill they got confirmation from the desk sergeant. Luckily I had the desk sergeants name. As soon as the cops had arrived, I immediately knew they must have been there for me, so I immediately identified myself and followed their orders.
    The second time I had the cops called on me, I had four friends with me and they were all restaurant owners and we were ratting in the alley behind their restaurant. One of the guys forgot to notify the desk sergeant and we got the local beat cop in trouble.
    Luckily it wasn't serious and no one was hurt.
    Cops these days have so much more stress to deal with than when I was a kid.
    We played with replica guns all the time and we never had to inform cops before we went out into the woods or in the alleys ratting. We probably even broke some laws by taking squirrels or rabbits out of season.
    Today cops have to deal with rampant gang violence. Terrorists. School shootings. Etc. etc. etc.
    Anyway, it's just a suggestion.
    Thanks again.
    Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.

Kind of wish I bought the 8 3/8 instead, but I really wish Umarex would just sell the 6.5 in the US. 8 3/8 looks a bit ridiculous, but if they aren't selling the 6.5 inch by the time the 8 3/8 is back in stock I might just settle for that one. Also, the fact that the speedloader for these is only available in Europe is ridiculous as well.

    - About 20 year ago when i was metal finishing that finish was only used by military and developed for helicopter parts. Black Oxidize on ss and Black Nickel on steel was used on the head piece.
    Obviously You didn't want the enemies having a shinny target...

    You do thorough testing. Especially your accuracy test are really good! You do it as you should do it - tell the distance, and use support to minimize shooters influence. And, for airguns, testing different sorts of ammo, is a necessity. I really don't get it, that most accuracy tests on the net, don't do it that way - because without that info, and doing it that way, the accuracy result one gets, really doesn't tell me anything at all.
    Then of course, trigger pull and ergonomics also play in, when you don't use rest. So a plinking test makes sense also - apart from the entertainment aspect. :-D
    I went along ordering the 8 3/8" rifled pellet version of this gun, and should receive it tomorrow. I figure a rifled version at least should perform equal to the BB version - and hopefully a little better. (But the difference will in any case, not be that big.)
    Of course, these replica airguns aren't intended to be paper punching guns, but beeing able to dependably (not with a spread all over the place) shoot the right size target, make it fully possible to actually do serious target shooting. Just choose the right size targets. I recomend 2-3 times the dependable spread. That way, competing against yourself, or with friends you invite, won't be a chance "hit and miss" story. (Couldn't help not writing that way. ;-) ) Add a barbeque and beer, and everybody will have a really nice time! :-D
    I already own the Colt SAA 7,5" rifled pellet gun, and feel really happy about the accuracy on that one. So I figure having adjustable sights, should add some other type of experience - provided the gun has enough accuracy, to make them useful at all. Which you have demonstrated this gun obviously does.
    Again, thank you for another great video, and please keep them coming! :-)
    P.S. There are so far 3 versions of the shells. I use them all, interchangeable for pellets and ball ammo, in the "Cowboy Rifle" and the Colt SAA - and now also in this gun. I use copper plated lead balls, "Smart BB's". I really seriously doubt there are any intentional design differences, that are aimed toward either pellets, or BB's.
    The first version of shells rattled a bit more in the gun, as outer diameter is slightly smaller. You can tell which they are, because they don't have a case front rim, to model a bullet in front. Some people claim they give slightly less accuracy. I would say, in these replica airguns, I doubt it. And once the current tooling wears out, there might be a fourth version of shells, just slightly different in some way ... ;-)
    I'm thinking of de-burring the cases inside, back and front. Just pick the rubber tube out, to get to the inside. They aren't glued or something, just a push fit. That could possibly matter. Either for speed, or / and accuracy. Or not at all. ;-)

      I actually went through an entire set of shells and smooth out the interior removing any burrs. It took a couple hours, and in my testing, it really didn't make a big difference. It was a bit disappointing. Also..you found a rifled barrel in the M29? I know they were talking about putting one out I just hadn't seen it yet. Happy Shooting!

      @@AirgunDetectives Ha! You just saved me time de-burring 40 cases. And yes, all three barrel lengths, also come either as BB smoth bore, or rifled pellet versions. So 6 versions in all. They are still so new, that even a very large retailer in Germany, which i orde from (it's cheaper than buing in Sweden), one day said they expected it to arrive in a few weeks. But I checked their inventory three days later, and it had arrived. So I ordered immediately. As in these pandemic times, who knows when things turn up from Taiwan.
      Pandemic is very close to end in Scandinavia. All restrictions have been lifted. Personally, I have socialized outdoors with my neighbours on the beach during the pandemic, and very often bring some airguns. It really hasn't been that different from before the pandemic. You just sit a little further apart at the tables. (No one wears masks. It's never been recomended in Sweden. (All restrictions have been implemented on a voluntary basis, which works fine in Sweden.)
      A great thing about airguns, is everybody can chat, eat and drink, and commenting each others shooting. A powder powered gun, makes a hell of a lot of "noice", so you couldn't have people sitting around tables, eating and drinking, talking and commenting each others shooting. (With rifles, we usually shoot at 20-25m. Some want to shoot at larger distance, just to show off. ;-D )
      We have a large rock just at one end of the beach, as a safe backdrop, so pellets don't end up in the sand, where children and birds might ingest the lead.
      I rather envy your setting watching your videos. It's seldom that warm and sunny in Sweden.

      Hi Ed. The silver ones are actually designed for pellets. The insert that holds them is slightly a larger diameter. The same identical shells that go in the Colt single action will work in the M29. Which is also the same shells that go in the Umarex Cowboy rifle, that was one of my first reviews. You can try pellets in the BB shells, but they may be a bit snug depending on the brand of pellets. You need to cherish that real M29, such a classic 👌

      @biggusdickus5986 Před rokem

      Well l have the ASG Schofield no 3 in battlefield finish or antique as they call it, l was using 177 pellets through it and didn't find it very accurate but still fun to shoot, the hammer us very easy to pull back as its a SA gun the triggers light and the best bit is its ease of load just break it open leave the shells in situ and place the pellets in the cartridge at the top, now l had never used BBs before and l told this to my gunstore friend when l was recently purchasing a SAA peacemaker 45 from him he gave me a packet of 500 BBs free of charge to try out, l was both pleased and surprised at how well they flew and found them far far more accurate than the pellets even though l was always lead to believe pellets were more accurate,, maybe they are thru a rifled barrel but the Schofield isn't its smooth bore and is likely why the BBs flew straighter. So yes its a great gun tho l find the handle a little too far away from the trigger guard and holding it completely by the handle makes it harder to reach the hammer to thumb it back, but by holding the gun higher up the handle it was much easier, its a strange looking gun to my eyes it has something of a steam punk vibe which is probably why it's a favorite in the game Red Dead Redemption or so my son tells me. I currently own, S&W M29 44 Magnum ( Dirty Harry's gun ). Two colt SAA 45 Peacemakers one in silver the other in worn black, the Schofield, and my top favorite gun the Webley Mark VI in six inch barrel. I like all my guns, the colts are incredibly accurate and for some reason l can get 130 ish pellet shots from a 12g co2 cartridge. The Magnums smooth bore not greatly accurate but makes a fantastically loud bang its almost too loud l keep expecting my neighbour to ring me in for firing a real firearm in my backyard lol.
      The Schofield is fun and now I've discovered BBs will be even cheaper to shoot, but the Webley is in an almost class if it's own it feels reassuringly heavy and solid ( it's built to blueprints from the real gun ) it fits the hand perfectly and seems to aim itself, it's powerful and accurate and looks fantastic.
