Shao14 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) Damn, so tempted to get a revolver now even though the 4" Python's all out of stock. On second thought, the nice recoil feeling of shooting a revolver is totally lost in airsoft revolvers... Edited May 20, 2005 by Shao14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 ...whats the pegasus system? aslo, what is the most skirmish worthy revolver. preferably over 4'' (none of this stubby nonsense...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Anybody had any experience with the Tanaka M66? Is it as good as the M29? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawk Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I can only guess that the M66 will perform more or less the same as the M65, since the two share the same type of cylinder. And you know how the M65 perform, don't you? There's a review of the M66 in the reader's review section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping the M66 would be more like the M29 since they are all .44 magnums. There's a reader review? *goes to read* Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawk Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) No, the M66 is a .357, just like its blued sibling the M19. And it seems that the bigger the cylinder the more power it yields (for Tanaka at least). So if you want the most power then get the M29, M500, Super Redhawk series.

Shao14 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 oops. Got to read up some more on revolvers now. What about the M29 4"? That's got to be a .44 magnum. Does that perform as well as the M29 6"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawk Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Yes, it's a .44, and it should perform about the same as the 6". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seth Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Anybody had any experience with the Tanaka M66? Is it as good as the M29? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://www.airsoftretreat.com/forums/topic...?TOPIC_ID=72375 Above is my review of the 2.5 inch snub nosed M66. A HUGE improvement in technology over the older models of revolvers Tanaka has put out, with decent accuracy at 20 feet (provided hopup is tuned down). I'm looking to attain a 4 inch M66 soon to see if the accuracy and power improved by a large amount with the increase in barrel length. As for right now though, for maximum power and accuracy/consistency, I would recommend the M500. I have a review of it on ASR as well- it's the most accurate revolver I've ever fired, and Tanaka fixed many of the "barrel alignment," hopup, and design issues in this model. Anyway, here are a few pics of my custom M500: Tanaka Smith and Wesson M500 X frame 8.25 Barrel •Smith and Wesson Rosewood K-frame grips •SDM Fabricating red fibre optic front sight •Smith and Wesson .126 pure black rear sight blade kit •Adjusted leaf spring and hopup for .25 Excel BBs custom M29 CQB model on the way...will put up pics when the parts and gun come in this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SilentScope Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) Where the hell did you get a Zeke non-fluted cylinder? Or is that the Tanaka Classic SAA model? Either way you are such a jerk Edited May 24, 2005 by SilentScope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyler8158 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Believe it or not, that's one of the JungleToy/Airsoft128 import models easily available in the U.S.! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) Yea, I was surprised to see that Airsoft Atlanta now carries Tanaka's SAA! http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/images/tanaka_saa_2_jpg.jpg for only $149. With wood grip too. Edited May 24, 2005 by Shao14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I figured they would look worse, but they aren't that bad. Does anyone know the story behind the Tanaka / JT SAA and why you can only get them at JT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 The ones at Jungle Toy have had their trademarks removed except for the Tanaka ones. There's a review on Airsoft Retreat of the 'Jungle Toy Special' as the reviewer liked to call it. It appears that the Airsoft Atlanta versions are the same. It's the same deal as with KWA and KSC products I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Does nobody read my post anymore? JT is NOT the only place in the US you can get a Tanaka SAA non fluted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferg981 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Forgive my stupidity, but do Airsoft revolvers only fire 6 BB's then require reloading? And if so doesnt that annoy the hell out of you? FERG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawk Posted May 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 That depends on the brand. Some revolvers such as the Marushin ones fire six shots before reloading, while others like Tanaka you can load up to 18 (depending on the model) shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
