This probably the new Umarex replica that I’m most excited about this year – a replica of the iconic German Maschinenpistole 40 from World War Two. I’m not sure about this one – a vented barrel on an SAA? And it doesn’t appear to have a front sight? Why not just give us a standard 4¾” Gunfighter version rather than this shorter edition? However, it’s certainly a very different looking SAA and for that reason I’m sure many people will welcome this as part of their SAA collection. This BB shooting version has a 3½” outer barrel with venting slots, weathered finish, black grips, claimed power of 105m/s (345fps) and a “ fanning” hammer. Perhaps the oddest addition to the Umarex SAA range is the Custom Shop Edition. US Marshal version of the new BB shooting Colt SAA with 7½” barrel Both the pellet and BB shooting versions are available in black or nickel finish and there is also a US Marshal version in weathered finish with imitation wood grips incorporating a US Marshal badge.ĭetails of a rather nice gold and nickel finish of the 7½” Colt SAA replica are provided on the Umarex USA website here. Both versions see a modest increase in power over the 5½” version with the pellet shooter being rated at 120m/s (394fps) and the BB version at 130m/s (427fps). The new version is available as a pellet or 4.5mm BB shooter. The main news with the Umarex Colt SAA is that this is now also available with a 7½” barrel in Artillery form (though the internal barrel is actually 6.75” in length). There are a couple of entirely new replicas this year in addition to developments of existing models and tweaks to old favourites. It’s that time of year again – time for the IWA Outdoor Classics Trade Fair in Nuremberg which means it’s also time for Umarex to reveal new CO2 powered replicas for 2017.
