HWS New Army Review

HWS New Army Review

Overview:

 The HWS New Army is a well known revolver, with a prolific use in many movies, shows, and most importantly-- in Clint Eastwoods hands. The revolver is very well made out of Heavyweight ABS with beautiful gold accents. The pistol comes in a plain cardboard box featuring Clint on the front. inside the box is very plain, containing the pistol as well as a container of BBs made to look like firing caps that would have been used in the real replica. 

 

 

Quality:

The pistol is extremely conformable in the hands with a nice single action movement and very nice trigger break. The revolver has wooden grips with a metal lower frame, cylinder and internals. the barrel and frame are constructed of HW polymer. The pistol does not use any revolver shells, instead using the Tanaka Pegasus system. The system is very smooth and has a limited capacity of 6, 6MM bbs. The revolver, much like the real thing has a built in ram rod that would have been used to seat the ball ammunition. 

Internals:

Internally, the replica is identical to the tanka SAA Pegasus system. The revolver uses gas which is contained inside the cylinder. the cylinder can be filled either by removing it completely(can be done by pulling a pin on the frame), or by opening the loading port on the right side of the pistol and injecting gas. BBs have to be pushed into O-rings located at the front of the cylinder, this can be a time consuing process. The pistol is single action only, meaning the hammer must be cocked before firing.
