Hello guys,
Nobody can stop me and I come back with another review
![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
Today it's a revolver and it's "a classic", the Colt Single Action Army with barrel 5.5 inch. I have choosen HWS because I love the kits and I have found this one with a good price (about 100 USD).

(The photo is a little bit misleading, the frame is black not grey.)
Lets's go!!!
1 / The box : Ok I don't do photos for assembly because first it's not easy and second this model can be assembled by a 2 year old child...
The box does not contain many parts. It's my second kit (after a marushin M9) and it was "finger in the nose" assembly this one.

Ok what's in the box :
- Parts for assembly (about 40 all include)
- 6 cartridges
- User manual (tomorow in the "model gun instruction")
- loading tool
2 / LookAnyway, you can see the ABS HW is deep black and the grip is white (like ivory). I have to say even it's plastic, this imitation ivory looks really good.

The main frame is in ABS HW except some part in metal. The cylinder is in ABS too (shame). The hammer, the trigger, etc are metal.

The look is good
I have to say the ABS is quite good but you will se there are a lot a defect which are incredibles.Look :

I dont understand why but you can't avoid them...The problem is it's ABS and I don't think I can paint over it. The worst, it's there are not the only defects, look at the hammer with close-up :

The hammer is metal and maybe I can paint it but again ,what do you do HWS in your factory???
3 / The use
Ok first you must prepare the cartridge. A good thing, it's easier than the marushin M9.
Unscrew the cartridge, put a 7mm cap in it, check with the loading tool the cap is well placed, close the cartridge and it's over.

Pull the hammer in first position (which makes the cylinder free)
Open the (I don't know the word) the "cartridge door" on the right sight of the revolver :

(you can see another defect on the cylinder just above cartridge)
Put the 6 cartridges and you are ready to fire.
Bang, bang, bang, etc.
Ok goooood!!!
Good thing is no jam, it's revolver it's simple : the hammer hit the cartridge and bang! Can we find more simple??
AFter fire, you can open de door, pull the rod down the barrel to eject cartridge :

4 / To conclude:Despite appearances, I like this model gun. Ok there are some defects but I don't know why I like the weight (2 weights in each grip), I like the look, I like the noise when you pull the hammer,etc... Yes I love him so much that I thought to buy another
I must say the mecanism is simple but looks strong.
I can say I am very happy to this model, I have to find now a western holster to play cow boy
