The air replica Colt Single Action Army SAA.45 was first presented to the public in 2015 at a trade fair in Germany. The manufacturer now comes with a new version in the form of a pellet model with a rifled barrel. The all-metal frame of the revolver has a blued surface with a glossy finish. The polymer grips visually imitate wood. Shell casings filled with pellets are inserted into the 6‑shot cylinder. The internal mechanism is powered by a 12 g CO2 cartridge, which is inserted into the grip after opening the grip panel. The trigger mechanism works only in Single Action mode. In this case, it is necessary to cock the two‑position hammer before each shot. A light cocking only rotates the cylinder; only fully cocking it to the rear position prepares the revolver for firing. The cylinder can be rotated only when the hammer is in the first cocked position. The revolver can be secured with a manual safety located in front of the trigger guard.
