I bought a new pistol... kind of.
That is not a real firearm.


It is a Umarex (brand) Colt Peacemaker Revolver Single
Action Army Six-Shooter CO2 Pistol. It is powered by
12-gram CO2 cartridges that are housed inside the grip.


It shoots .177 caliber steel BBs from individual cartridges
at up to 410 fps. You insert the BBs into the little holes you
see on the cartridges (in the picture above) and then load the
cartridges into the cylinder and you are good to go. As this
pistol  is not an actual firearm, there are no primers involved
and carrying with six rounds chambered is fine. The
pistol comes with six cartridges.

Oh, and there is a working ejector rod, but it is not really used
as there is no shell casing expansion after firing. The cartridges
pretty much just slide right out when unloading.


And here is the pistol itself with imitation ivory grips (plastic)
and a "nickel" finish. Umarex Colt replicas are officially licensed
to use the Colt trademarks. I most likely will never shoot this pistol
as I wanted it just for fun and something to display on a shelf at
The Ranch. I MIGHT shoot it sometime down the line.
Who knows.


This is the front of the box that it came in.
I like the design.


And the back just in case you would
like to see the specifications.

The itinerary has been printed out. Coupons are
at the ready. We are all set for our Annual
Halloween Crawl for the year 2026.
Spooktober! Bring it on!


P.S. Wo! These are some hot days.
107 degrees out at 6:16 P.M.
And it's been 80 degrees all night long.
I like it better than freezing cold.

He is upset that he is covered in so much dust.
I'm really sorry, buddy. We live in a rural area where
dust is frequently kicked up. I just can't get
around to you every day. *sigh*

Halloween is back at Walmart!
And at The Ranch we are excited to be getting ready for our
2026 Annual Halloween Crawl. I am in the process of creating
the itinerary and soon we will hit the road. By the way, that
is fog at the bottom of this picture. It's not my finger
or anything like that. *blush*



Look who I found! He is very cute. Yep, you are leaving
with me. My first Halloween 2026 souvenir.



Buckle up!
We are on our way.



Welcome home, buddy!
You look great!
