Umarex Legends s40 4 inch

[mickson]

Anyone got user info on this revolver, looks ok, reviews also seem promising.

I have one.
I like it.
Can't put pictures up for the moment as I'm away from home...
Bonus: cartridges are Dan Wesson compatible .
It's no target pistol though .

It`s an old model.... a revamp of the early Dan Wesson pistol ... nothing to get excited about tbh.

Is the rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation?

Yes.

They also come with a Picatiny rail you can attach to the top, so can fit a red dot sight which is unusual for a revolver. But in most other respects they are pretty average.

I had an S40 and while it shot OK I didn't like the way the CO2 was loaded with the hinged grip:

The shell loading revolvers all have a bit of character to them and while the Umarex revolver-matics work well I don't enjoy shooting them as much.

I prefer this:

to this:

The electric is undoubtably more efficient and faster but no "life".

Nice but that's the S25.
Shorter and picatiny.

That's the S40 indeed. No sign of a picatiny.

As mentioned elsewhere above these revolvers are dased upon the older Dan Wesson branded guns, just with different barrel profiles.

They aren't great replicas and my own experience was they aren't overly nice to shoot either.

The Dan Wesson Model 715 series are way superior both as replicas and shooters.

They did come with 2 picatiny rails and a speed loader:

I do like the 9fs,grew up with the great central at the bottom of the garden, used to look out for those. mainly black 5s though and 8fs.

Relevance to the pistol query??

 

[HW42]

No relevance at all, just that Tallyns post brought back some memories. I'll leave you all to talk pistols

It is indeed the S25 but they are both supplied with the picatiny, but you have to fit it yourself. The speed loader is also included with both, though no extra shells. The other nice thing about them is that the barrel release catch also acts as the safety rather than having a separate mechanism that spoils originality.
