Yep, the Wesson revolvers are nice and solid. True about the six shots...you really have to count shots and time your assaults or you could run out of shots really fast.

The thing to watch with the Wessons is high fps. Even the 4" is over most field limits. You can modify the revolver to shoot lower but it requires a little machining. My 8" Skeleton (actually a Wesson/ WinGun/ whatever) is shooting at 385. It used to be 490. Now that it's tuned down I easily get over 150 shots on a CO2 cartridge and just make sure I carry a bunch of extra shells preloaded and ready to go. I play primarily outdoors so have no idea how this revolver would do in a CQB scenario, but outside it's fine and the long barrel gives it some range and accuracy.

I don't carry a second revolver (good idea though!) but I do pack an M1911A sometimes as a second. hehehe We also operate as a 3-man sniper team so the one who has the long gun is protected by the two that don't. Usually one AEG and a DMR. Then we switch out being the spotter/ shooter/ whatever to best suit the game on any given day. So, even though I've got the revolver (and the 1911), there's also a 226 and a tactical 1911 not far away.
