PARRIS CLASSIC QUALITY TOYS EST. 1936 Cowboy Die-Cast Steel Side Loading Toy Pistol, 8.5" Cap Gun, Authentic Western Design, Shoots No.912 Paper Roll Caps

My son bought this with money he earned, and wanted to make sure that what he bought was good quality. He loves it!

I understood there would be no caps included when purchasing this, so I made sure to find refills before I finalized this order. Let me help you do the same... -You can find the refills on Amazon by searching... "Back to Basics Paper Caps for Parris Style Shooters (One Package Per Order)" NOTE: Most cap shooters on Amazon do NOT have their respective cap refills. Save yourself the time and just buy this one w/the cap refills I mentioned above. -You can feel confident that the refills for these paper caps will still be available in the future, as the listing for the refills have been up since July 30th, 2019. PROS: Innocent and honest fun, even for adults; it's good for nostalgia. CONS: Small and awkward to hold. I expected this, and it doesn't take away from the fun.

UPDATE: The solution for the stiff / sticking trigger is just a drop or two of oil on the trigger pivot. The gun works perfectly, every time, now. ORIGINAL REVIEW: My 3 year old son can't get enough of this cap gun. The only reason I give it four stars and not five, is that the trigger is a little stiff and sometimes gets stuck in the depressed position. You have to pry it forward with a finger to get it "unstuck." Otherwise, great fun! The metal-on-metal hammer/chamber interface ensures >80% of the caps go off the first time around. That's much better than plastic cap guns, which have a fire rate of ~50% in my experience. Until I find a better one, this is the best strip cap gun I've found!

Got it for my grandson. He loved it. Not sure if it don’t pop every pop on the strip or if the strips are off a little. But it might pop 10-15 in a row and then quit turning to pop more. You kinda have to give it a nudge to start it back up. But other than that I’m still glad I bought it.

I thought it would be pretty junky, but it was way better than I ever expected! Great value for some good old time fun. My son is 17, I was telling him about it from when I was young and then we looked it up and I had to get him one. They are so old school cool!

The spring keeps breaking on the trigger. This is the 2nd one and both broke. Other than that you can push it back to fire again.

Bought for Hollow ween costume and it worked well and looked good.

I cannot begin to imagine how or why this product has the customer rating that it does. To say this product is garbage is an understatement. If you’re looking for your childhood nostalgia and don’t mind the fact that the quality has declined to the point of being literally unusable, then go right ahead. But if you want the functionality and quality that you remember as a child and you want to give your kids a capgun that actually functions, then you’re gonna need to go with one of those companies that specializes in the decades old quality that you’re looking for. Do not waste your time and money on this company.
