Great video I was hoping you get one. Now I am definitely going to get the 6 inch thank you for helping me decide. Dan Wesson 715 is my favorite replica revolver. thank you Ar77
Dya know what mate, I've seen a good few reviews on here of these 2 "pistols and this is by far the best mate! You have covered all of the pros and cons of them, I have the gold steel bb version and it's not a patch on the 2.5 inch 357 tactical one, build ain't as good as it's successor and hammer and locking device are worse! 👍 👌
Sorry Peter I missed this comment somehow! Having taken a brief look, I'd say that in reality you only get around 2.5 to 3 inches of rifling down the internal 4.5mm barrel. Hope you enjoyed the vid.
@@airgunreplicas77 thank you yes I enjoy the video and the honest answers .. I be putting a red dot on my Dw 715 6inch cause of your information. Much appreciated 😎👍🏻
About bloody time !!! lol, you finally got round to having a decent revolver, lol. Yeah, the real steel version comes in a 'pistol pack' that would include a 2",4", 6" & 8" barrel set and normally a belt buckle and DW patch too. Nice Cypress hill quote thrown in there, that made me laugh, I couldn't help myself by following it with "Ever heard a Glock go click like a camera", lol. So you've earnt kudos by reviewing my favourite modern revolver and then you went and doubled down by quoting a line from one of my favourite Cypress Hill tunes, you're definitely turning into my favourite youtube replica reviewer, lol. On the subject of the cylinders, as you noticed they both rotate in different directions. The DW715 rotates clockwise just like the real steel version does (and Colt), whereas the Umarex Legends rotates anti clockwise just like a S&W does, in fact the cylinder catch is identical to a S&W cylinder catch too, all evidence points to it being a replica of a S&W revolver rather than any other make. For many years there has been heated disagreements about which is better, rotating into the frame like DW & Colt seems safer at keeping the cylinder pushed into the frame rather than rotating out of the frame (like S&W) which is essentially trying to push the cylinder out of the frame. In truth though, S&W use a more secure locking pin system that negates that ever happening UNLESS the cylinder hasn't been closed properly, so IMHO it doesn't make one better than the other in truth and real world use. Thanks for the shout out for the forum buddy, very much appreciated. Another great video buddy, if you're looking for suggestions for other videos then I've got a couple for you ; The Nagant 7 shot revolver (don't knock it till you've tried it, lol), Swiss Arms P-92/KWC PT-92 (a Taurus PT-92 replica), Webley mkVI, Schofield, Umarex Desert Eagle (if you can get hold of one), KWC Uzi/Swiss Arms Protector (again, if you can get hold of one) and there's still a few more that I can think of, lol....keep 'em coming buddy.
Glad you enjoyed that one mate. As always I really appreciate the detail and knowledge you share. I think I’ve done one on the PT92 already but I’ll look into your other suggestions cheers!
@@airgunreplicas77 I didn't realise that you'd done a review of the PT-92, I must of missed that one when i went through your back catalogue, I'll go and check that out buddy
That's what I'm trying to get still, KWC Uzi/SwissArms Protector. Can't wait, been a main 1 on my list for bout 3 years but then there's always another 1 that takes priority lol. That 715 is ugly, sorry.
Yeah sadly I think that is the case. I can imagine it being a bigger issue on the six inch version. Genuinely don’t know how much it would affect these shorter barrel models though.
Those lines you pointed out aren't 2 pieces welded together it's casting marks, those are largely made of cheap cast pot metal which is very weak, I hope the new Dan Wesson's are machined in those parts rather than cast with weak alloy but I assume they have simply taken more time to polish away the casting/moulding lines
No problem mate, great review on the gun and nice comparison to what's arguably it's rival in the market, I'm waiting on delivery of a 4inch 715 right now and can't wait to put it to the test, I only chose it over a colt saa or webley mk vi because of the adjustable sights, though I already know I'll be ordering the webley mkvi next as they have a 4 inch barreled version in .22 called the police available for pre order which I know I can't refuse lol
@@airgunreplicas77 Nice 1 pal. My mate has just bought the 2.5" 715 and it is absolutely stunning, I don't usually like Dan Wesson pistols but that 1 I need in my collection. I actually prefer the shorter snub nose over the 4" and the 6" just something about it. Don't kno why they put the picatinny on the 4, it would look stupid with a laser or light on such a gorgeous revolver.
I have both of these pistols and both are inaccurate. Although they have so called rifled barrels the "rifling" looks more like a very faint scratch, if you can see it. I tried 17 different types of pellets in them , 4"groups at 20' rested is the best i could get.
You can get a .357 magnum revolver in the UK buddy, you get a free coat hanger and a barrel as long as a rifle, they're called a LBR (long barrelled revolver). There's plenty on you tube on them, check out Racknload's (ua-cam.com/video/epQAnOrMaBE/v-deo.html) video review of the .357 Chiappa Rhino.
I have one. It looks and feels great. Very realistic,but heres the rub.. Ive got 15 co2 replicas,if you want these for film props ect they are great. If you want a replica co2 that shoots accurate as a purpose built air pistol, you'll be sadly disappointed. The size and weight of the thing doesn't do anything to help accuracy,they look great..they are fun plinkers ..but expensive for what you get. Great replicas,poor target guns. If you want a bb probably the most powerful bb gun available in the uk and your not bothered about it being a replica,get a daisy 415 pistol,shoots 500fps and ut costs £45. They are all pretty disappointing expensive replicas. Sure this one aint bad on accuracy,and you can get some nice groups at 6 yards.
Got one of these today lovely bit of kit.

My pleasure mate. Hope you enjoy the pistol.
@@airgunreplicas77 Definitely did I have the bb version of the same one you did this video on. Very nice job on representing this fine revolver.

That’s great to hear mate. Thanks for the feedback!
BEAUTIFUL. PLATINUM BOMBSHELL.
I got the same one a couple months ago, the 4" silver one and i got the steel gray 2.5" one last week. Love them both. I'll get the 6" soon too
Ohh mine are the 6mm BB versions not the 4.5mm steel pellets 😑 at least you can get the pellet versions in the UK, can't here in Ireland.
How did you get one it seems really complicated on ordering one
It waslater found out that the inner barrel on all models is only 2.5 inches long so check it before you buy !
I've had this a few days now and it's best of the best I definitely would say buy it cost me £180
Hey how did you manage to get one I really want one but it all seems complicated on ordering it.
@@alfiesmelly I live in the UK there is a shop called solwere I bought it straight from there
Hello! I'm from Roumania, from where i can't buy one replica revolver aisoft cal 4,5 like that?
How have you got under 1k subs your amazing
Ha ha! Thanks.
How far does the rifling run from cylinder on the 715? Thanks for the review.

How dare you?! 😂
@airgun Replicas 77 the 6" has not a fule barrel
Why can’t more manufacturers make grips as good as these.
Agreed. Wish more thought had gone into the Umarex Colt Python grips.
love this video and bought the same model partly based on your review...
but it's a revolver, not a pistol auuughhh!!!!!
😂 ok, fair point.
De unde se poate cumpăra un revolver airsoft cu pelete?
I've just bought the 2.5" version.
Ah cool. Are you pleased with it?
@@airgunreplicas77 I only got it on Thursday, so I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but it feels solid, and looks really nice. 😎
Update: I've now got a 4" one as well.
Are those grips interchangeable ? I hate the grips on my 6"DW..
On the 715 they’re not interchangeable as the grip carries the co2 tool.
I saw somewhere the rifeling doesn't travel all the way to the end of the barrel. is that true?
Yeah sadly I think that is the case. I can imagine it being a bigger issue on the six inch version. Genuinely don’t know how much it would affect these shorter barrel models though.

@@MDM1992 ah nice! I haven’t seen that version yet and don’t own the Webley so may be one to add to the list!
I don't know what people do with these gun can any body help me with regarding this what to do with this gun
What's with the serial killer gloves?
Just gloves dude.
I have just got of there but were yours say 117 mine says 6mm ??
I guess yours is airsoft. Mine is a .177 pellet shooter.
Where did u get your shells case from mate?
From Amazon mate. I just searched for .38 calibre ammo boxes

I really don't know which is the better between the 715 4'' and the S40 4'', I can't make up my mind

More of a 3" effective barrel length isn't it?
Yeah I’d say so.
Quanto custa
Does it use pellets or bbs im just wondering
Pellets in this one mate
I would get it if it didn't have the accessory rail, spoils the lines for me.
The 6" and 2.5" versions dont have the acessory rails.
It’s about utility over aesthetic
You can get a 357 mag in the uk, just not in a revolver.
