I would assume that is how they are doing it. It would be the same as the blued or nickel SAA only it's much blacker than the blued ones.

Perhaps a comparison will help with the color. Daisy is chrome. Crosman's are black paint. They have not approved me to post over where they were asking.

Nice! I had that bottom Crosman in .22 in the 70's. I had the Daisy in Black too.

The finish on that model 29 replica looks pretty good.
What does it weigh, please?

The finish is only a few microns thick, so I would say it does not weigh much at all. :D

My postal scale died so I can't weigh the pistol for you, but the box says 2.45 lb.

Are using the pellet shells or bbs? Does the speed loader look the same? I also added 6 Colt Peacemaker pellet shells for it, good for now.

You get the pistol, 6bb shells, and a manual. No speed loader.

I have not fired it.

Funny :D . tks 2.45pounds = 39.2 ounces, so close to the weight of my 4" M29. That's a decent weight.

Do you know how long the barrel is? Is it 8 3/8" like it says. Do you measure from the front of the cylinder?

Mine is in the mail, it says tommorow:) It's not a big deal, I have to walk 3 blocks but I wish pkgs I get, that require signature is I could have a choice ether to leave it in my maibox the box is key locked or pick up from PO after 5pm. After 5 I don't like....oh well:)

My order was suppse to be Fri, then I would have to go to the PO, they dropped it off at my door today instead! Other then hollow handle feel a fingerprint easy, nothing I don't like! it really is a beautiful replica.This is the revolver i always have been looking for since the .357 ones were coming out in the 80's. The hammer is solid, probably the best hammer I ever felt on any of the revovers that have come out with. No wobble what so ever. Trigger feels tight too. You know i thought it would be to big but for this revover it should be bad buttock with 8 3/8. the 715 feels like it's heavier then the M29.
