Dan Wesson 715 makes a perfect impression thanks to the outstanding precision of its manufacture. It is made entirely of metal on CNC machines. This is also reflected in the weight, which is 1225 g. The six-inch barrel including rail and thread is made from a single piece. Model 715 ranks among the best CO2-powered air revolvers on the market. The grips are made of rubber in a Hogue-style imitation. The CO2 cartridge is located in the grip and is tightened using a hex key, which is not included in the package.
A major advantage over the competition is the metal trigger including the trigger guard. The cylinder of the revolver is also made from a single piece and is designed for six cartridges, which are loaded with steel BBs. The cylinder latch is located in a slightly unusual position, behind the cylinder. If you want to secure the 715 with a manual safety, you will find it under the hammer. The rear sight on this model is adjustable.
Single Action - shot after cocking the hammer, then automatic firing
Double Action - the hammer does not need to be cocked first for rapid fire
CO2 system principle: The cartridge is inserted into the gun and, when mechanically closed, is pierced by the pin. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer strikes the valve pin and the valve opens. CO2 then starts to flow, driving the pellet out of the barrel.
For this gun we recommend purchasing CO2 cartridges and suitable steel BBs, which are essential for shooting.
Practical experience: We can truly rank this revolver among the top CO2 guns. The machining of the metal parts is precise and of high quality. We were pleasantly surprised by the rubber grips, which on other models are usually plastic. If you are looking for a faithful, high-quality replica, we can highly recommend it.
