Smith&Wesson M29 4.5 mm 6.5" is a CO2 air revolver that is a faithful replica of the predecessor of modern Magnum revolvers — the M29 model, which became famous thanks to the “Dirty Harry” movie series starring Clint Eastwood.
Heavy metal construction, impressive shooting performance, and a realistic loading system are the main advantages of the Smith&Wesson M29 air revolver.
The revolver has a heavy construction made entirely of metal (frame, inner barrel, cylinder) polished to a high gloss. Only the wood-style grip panels are made of polymer, emphasizing the classic style of the revolver.
Licensed Smith & Wesson markings are placed on the barrel and frame. The air revolver features a 6.5" barrel, allowing accurate shooting even at longer distances. The Smith&Wesson M29 uses mechanical sighting devices consisting of a fixed front sight (with a contrasting insert) and a rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation. The classic style of the revolver is emphasized by a gently profiled grip with anti-slip texturing.
The revolver features a realistic loading mechanism that effectively imitates the mechanism of the Smith Wesson revolver. The system consists of a rotating cylinder and metal dummy cartridges in which steel BB pellets are placed. After inserting 4.5 mm BB pellets into the cartridges (1 BB per cartridge), the prepared cartridges are loaded into the 6-shot cylinder. After firing, the dummy cartridges can be pushed out of the cylinder using the ejector, just like in the original. The cartridges are reusable, but for greater convenience it is worth having a spare set.
The revolver is powered by compressed carbon dioxide supplied from a 12 g CO2 cartridge. The fired BB pellet reaches a high muzzle velocity of up to approx. 127 m/s, which allows accurate shooting at distances of over 30 m. Loading and replacing the CO2 cartridge is simple and takes only a few seconds. Simply slide the grip back, place the cartridge in the grip, and tighten it using the key permanently attached to the grip panel. The revolver offers impressive shooting efficiency. Using a quality cartridge, it is possible to fire up to 160 shots with consistent muzzle velocity. It should be remembered that the number of shots is mainly influenced by air temperature and the shooting pace.
The revolver uses a double-action SA/DA trigger mechanism, which means that a shot can be fired either by self-cocking or after manually cocking the hammer. During transport or carrying, the trigger mechanism can be locked using the safety (cylinder release) located on the left side of the frame.
