I bought a HW45 in ,22

 

Not had an air rifle since my teens..many, many moons ago.

 

Had loads of enjoyment from it plinking in back garden..then a Crosman 600..even more FUN

 

But since I've bought a Rifle(s), all Daystate's the Pistol's have not been out.

Not sure why but just seem to enjoy the rifle's more.

 

Quite different.

 

How many of you Air gunner's have pistol's and how often do they get used ?

I would love a HW75 as those things are out of this world, build quality wise and just a pleasure to shoot. I've been lent one to use a few times at my club and i would jump at the chance to own one if the price wasn't so insanely high... but its high for a reason.

 

Currently i have a Webley Nemesis .177 which Ive had for probably 16-17 years + since i was a teen. It's very cheap and no thrill but for the £80 it cost its a decent little pistol. Reasonable enough sight adjustment and same for the trigger. Its weigh is OK but that's down to the plastic involved on the grip and upper assembly.

 

I use mine weekly at my club and aside from lubing its never needed any servicing and still shoots nice and accurately at 6 yards and 10 meters with Accupells

Not since the ban was imposed... Used to have a Ruger .22, S & W 38 special, and a S & W .357 magnum...

Edit: None of which were airguns of course, wishful thinking...

Good job posting about pre-ban pistols in an air pistol thread :good:

 

Edit: Side note a Webley rep told me about 6 months ago they are phasing out the Alecto as they see no market for a multi pump pneumatic pistol and will be bringing in a single stroke pneumatic at some point.

I have a Baikal MP 53M, Beeman P17, Lov 21, Beretta PX4 Storm, Tuned Walther CP88 and a Weihrauch HW45 which should be delivered tomorrow.

I find pistol shooting very relaxing and can play in the back garden or garage depending on the weather....cheaper than a session on the clays!!

Now I've listed my pistols I can see I possibly need to cull one or two that do not get used nowadays.

Great response fella's.

 

So many of us own or have owned the HW45.

 

I have a couple of young son's 10 and 13

 

Joe bought a BB on holiday and I got the bug.

I'm thinking of buying him an FS92 in 177, he really enjoy's shooting in the garden.

 

Th nice thing about pistol's is you can have a plink in the garage through the winter.

 

I was attracted to the Crosman 600, man that thing has soul dripping out the barrel.

 

Keep the post's coming :good:

I have owned a CP88 (accurate and great fun), a Gamo R77 (hopelessly inaccurate and a waste of time), an HW45 in .177 with a .22 spare barrel (splendid pistol) and still own a S&W 686 CO2 with three barrels - 4 -6- 8".

 

Sadly, I had to choose between the HW45 and the S&W as I couldn't justify keeping both, and as my kids have started out using the S&W it seemed the more useful gun to keep. It doesn't come out very much because I prefer going after live quarry with the air rifles, .22RF or shotgun.
