Review: KWC .357 Python revolver

swiftblade

Was shopping around for a airsoft revolver for a while. Really just wanted it as a "wall hanger" .

Didn't want a chrome bling, bling one, so was looking for something simple. Let me tell you revolvers are expensive :eek:, if you want a decent one anyway.
Went ahead and got this. SE Airsoft ordered it in for me.

First off the box. Nothing really special here.


Inside is your usual packing and chinglish manual


And here is the revolver. Included are some cheap-ass bb's and some sort of speed loader thing.


Also included is some little valve thing. Haven't a clue what it is or does.


The gun itself. When lifting it out of the box the first thing that hit me was that it's pretty light. But don't let this fool you. It looks the business and still feels great to hold in the hand


Cylinder swings out the reveal the shells, which is what makes the gun. 4 BB's are loaded into each shell, which gives you a total of 24 shots.


The shells are made of some type of metal, maybe brass



Shooting: A lot better than expected. I don't currently have a chrono so can't give you a reading but i would say it's above 250 FPS. It gives a nice crisp "bang" when shot.
It is also double action meaning the hammer can be pulled back first and then trigger pulled. Very cool.

Pros: Looks brilliant and the shell feature adds to this.
Brilliant to shoot
I would also say it's quite skirmishable, but i wont be trying.

Cons: Light weight takes away some of the realism.
Some people may find the shells a pain in the ass
Fitting it in a holster can be a pain too.

Overall its a lovely gun and you get what you pay for. Would i reccomend it? Yes, but don't buy it for the sole purpose of skirmishing it (although you could). More of a plinker
