Dan Wesson 715 Review: The Modular CO2 Revolver Powerhouse
The Dan Wesson 715 series by ASG is arguably the most famous line of CO2 airgun revolvers. Renowned for their heavy, all-metal construction and realistic shooting experience, they are favorites for plinking and training. This review answers your key questions about barrel options, pricing, and availability, covering models like the Dan Wesson 715 4″ and the Dan Wesson 715 2.5” Pellet Revolver, Silver.
Modular Design and Realistic Operation
First, the Dan Wesson 715 is famous for its modularity. It is based on the real steel Dan Wesson 715 .357 Magnum revolver. The airgun version features interchangeable Dan Wesson 715 barrels (e.g., 2.5″, 4″, 6″). This allows you to customize the look and balance. The revolvers are built from hefty zinc alloy, giving them an authentic weight and feel. They operate in both single and double-action, providing a very realistic trigger pull and cycling.
Pellet vs. BB Models and Performance
The series includes both pellet-firing and BB-firing models, a crucial distinction.
-
Pellet Models: Like the Silver 2.5” Pellet Revolver, these fire .177 pellets from shell-casings for better accuracy. They are ideal for target shooting.
-
BB Models: These fire 4.5mm steel BBs and are often favored for faster, casual plinking. The Dan Wesson 715 4 inch CO2 BB revolver is a popular example.
Both offer powerful, consistent performance powered by a standard 12g CO2 cartridge housed in the grip.
