Review on πŸ”« Denix M1861 Navy Issue Brass Revolver - Authentic Non-Firing Replica for Collectors and Historical Enthusiasts by Yung Kaelin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cool weapon, but DO NOT try to open it!

The package arrived and the gun was bigger and heavier than I thought. It's a pretty good replica and looks and feels like the original, if I do say so myself. Hammer and trigger feel very solid and have good play. The barrel wobbles slightly, but this is due to the fact that it is attached to the rest of the gun along with the cylinders with a small hole and pin in the middle of the frame. Warning to the buyer: A common problem with these models is that the ratchet inside the frame, which is designed to turn the chamber when the hammer is double-cocked, tends to break. So you can never turn cameras with a hammer again. So if you dare to open the frame yourself while trying to fix it, remember that this is how everything inside the frame works. And if you unscrew the front panel, it all flies out. Mine was very, very difficult to put together, but somehow I managed. But the ratchet still doesn't work.

Pros
  • This non-shooting copy has the performance of the original
Cons
  • Quality
