PARRIS CLASSIC QUALITY TOYS EST. 1936 Holster Sets (Western Legends Outlaw Die Cast Metal Cap Pistol, Vinyl Holster and Belt)

I absolutely love it and it’s perfect and sturdy and a great replica and fun to play with. The only issues I have are that the holster strap is very short and couldn’t fit a teenager. Second, I found it quite inconvenient that it did not come with the poppers that it shoots even though it was not my focus, it was still unfortunate. And finally, I don’t like it that it’s only pull back on the hammer and it is just like when you pull the trigger. I want to be able to cock it, then shoot, and repeat like a normal one. But overall, it’s great and exceptional.

Nice product but found cheaper some place else

My understanding is that this American Made reproduction cap pistol was a cooperate effort between Parris Mfg. and a major cap gun manufacturer and dealer. When I was a kid it wasn't difficult to find "American Made" toys on the shelves of the local store. These days it's a different story. When my oldest daughter became old enough to get interested in guns I bought her a lever action BB made by a famous American brand and was sadly disappointed to find out that it was made in China. Moving on, I really enjoyed cap gun wars, etc. when I was younger and wanted a good caps pistol to have cap gun fights with my kids and provide some basic level of firearm safety training with them prior to actually letting them handle a real firearm. I bought a couple plastic guns from a retail chain store, they were made in China, and while they are decent for their price, they don't seem like they will last very long. The search was on for something more substantial. I had heard of Parris Mfg. a couple years ago while searching for American Made toy rifles, I didn't find anything that was reasonably priced, but I did learn that Parris Mfg. was bring in good quality Spanish made cap pistols. Generally they get good reviews but I still wanted something American Made. Flash forward, to about a week ago, and my search for a good, metal, American Made, cap gun had led me to the Parris Maverick. This replica cap pistol is made from the 1950s-era moulds used for the original. It has a good weight and feel to it and most people I have shown it to were impressed with the overall appearance. Fit and finish are good, but a little extra de-burring could have taken place on some edges as there is still a little moulding flash present on certain parts. Not a big deal but it does detract a little from the pistol overall. The trigger pull is good and I am sure that my oldest wont have any issues pulling the trigger. The Maverick uses roll-caps, which I am not a fan of; they tend to be more quiet (therefore less impressive when fired) and do not always reliably go off when stuck. Still, that was the technology of the time and they work well enough. The barrel was capped with an ugly little orange tip which, for some reason, also had a front sight on it. Luckily that was only pressure fitted and I was able to pull it right off (I will replace it with something less obnoxious). Overall, the pistol looks great, functions great (for using roll caps), is an excellent value, and importantly to me Americans are employed in manufacturing it. That means supporting American companies and workers. That may not matter to everyone though. The holster doesn't add much value to the purchase. I found it to be a tad cheesy and probably more functional for dress-up than for kids having a cap gun war or playing cowboys. There isn't anything really objectionable to the contruction of the holster, since it is meant to be a toy, but the belt isn't overly functional due to poor material thickness and contruction. If your child is going to use the holster for play, I would recommend rigging it up to a normal trouser belt or something similar. In the end I am very happy with the purchase. While the original Maverick was well before my time, I did own quite a few cap guns (even some diecast models) and I came to appreciate a quality cap-firing side arm. The Parris Mfg. Maverick takes me back to my childhood and will provide my children with a taste of what it was like to be a kid when society was a bit less uptight. You really can't put a price on that but, if you could, this cap pistol would seem like a bargain in comparison.

I have three boys (4, 6 and 8) and they have had this gun now for over a year and they have put it to the test. Durable, durable, durable! My youngest boy never takes it off. He shoots it over and over and over again and it never mis fires. The size, the weight, the realistic look and feel, made out of metal is perfect. The only problem we have had is when we take it out in public, some people have commented on how realistic it looks so it's best not to remove the red platic tip, because that's the only thing that tips people off that it's a toy. So, Why am I buying another one? My youngest boy lost his at the park yesterday, so I'm buying two, one for back up. If you are looking for your kids to get away from the tv and into the back yard, role playing and using their imagination, old school style, this toy is perfect.

Outlaw Die Cast Metal Cap Pistol First of all, this isnt the seller's fault, as the product was brand new and un-opened. The gun feels great, looks good, but there are two dents in the product's quality. 1. The plastic handles for the cap-gun were slightly too big. This became a problem when he received a small cut from the edge of the oversized handles. I'm sure we can sand the edges, but we shouldn't have to modify a new toy to avoid potential dangers. 2. Secondly, the drum for the 12 shot ring caps sits on a straight piece of metal and holds the assembly in place. The rod, holding the drum containing the cap shots, was bent. Due to this, the drum would not release. To fix it, it was needing to be bent to the proper angle. Also, a 2 4 1 - the bolt/screw/pin that keeps the barrel attached to the handle assembly is loose which causes a cheap feeling when holding it, as well as a continuous rattling from the assembly not fitting. Parris MFG makes the absolute best metallic cap-guns and I have no complaints - It happens, but rarely :) - the item I purchased was PERFECT - same seller and mfg

After quickly going through a few cheap, plasticky pistols, all of which lie broken, we decided to take the plunge and buy our boy his first "real"gun. While my wife and I are avowedly anti-gun (in Australia we don't have the gun obsession you have in the States), we realised when our son was chewing his toast into the shape of a handgun, resistance was probably futile. At this stage he is mostly into cowboys and indians, so it made sense to get a "historical" piece. The detailing on the Johnny Reb pistol is superb, and it is nicely weighted in the hand. Feels like the real thing to him! We are most impressed with the quality of this toy, we can see it lasting for a long time. As for the problem with loud caps, we simply have omitted telling him about that side of things. As he is probably the only one of his friends with a toy gun like this (yes, it is very desirable when they come over), this hasn't been an issue. Some other purchasers have noted the difficulty in getting their kids to pull the trigger. I've shown our son how to fire the gun Sundance Kid style, just using the hammer. He thinks this is very cool. So do I! Highly recommended.

I bought this for my Jack Knight Starman cosplay and it fits the part perfectly. Exactly like the comic. I am very happy with this purchase.

Used 12 shot ring caps you cant buy from amazon so i bought some from retro toys usa. Quite loud and it is truly made of metal.

Son is really happy with this toy. Weight distribution is good and it seems well built.

This "made in Italy" full metal capgun six shooter replica revolver is, in my opinion, the best quality capgun replica available on amazon.ca!!! I collect vinatge and new airguns as well as antique and new capguns, and this item is the nicest modern product that I have bought for under $40! It shoots the most available 8-shot ring caps that can be bought at your local dollar stores.

Good piece Hoster cheap and don't fit the revolver very good.

Good quality, seemed to last my kids playing with it for months but the one I got didnt like the dollarama store 8 round caps. It would fire half or just randomly. Maybe a different brand cap would work better. Overall not a bad gun that kids can twirl and has the plastic holster and belt that held up fine after months. ***UPDATE: Still working fine after 4-5 months of use. It was dropped many times. The plastic catch that hold the cylinder in is still ok and working fine. The dollarama 8 shot caps work for the most part. It could just be my gun but it doesnt always fire all the caps. If you put them in without pushing all the way in it seems to work best. Also hard for a kid to reload, you need something pointy like a little screwdriver to get the caps out. We had many of the dollarama plastic $1.50 cap guns and they work great for a week and then a weak part inside breaks and its garbage. Plus you cant twirl it. Overall, nothing is perfect but at least this is a good quality steel realistic looking cap gun they can keep for years. Tip: Check the screws and snug up after a month or two.

Well at least it works, so I'm hoping I'll be able to scare off those rotten Magpies
