bullet boy Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 The best by far pistol i have ever used is the Weihrauch HW45.Its a spring pistol and in ambidextrous format,and is right on the legal limit at about 6 ft/lbs.Brilliant pistol IMO.

danimal Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 hw 45 all the way powerfull robust and it looks nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Crossman 1322 has power bang on the limit and after being pumped up can be left safe for hours.On one of the airgun forums there,s a guy who tunes/services them and i would contact him for the best advice.If you do decide to get one make sure that it has the metal breach and not the later plastic version-these came in when production was moved to Mexico where the assembly is so bad as to make these versions total rubbish.

Sauer Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 cheers guys im liking the look of the Benjamn EB .22 air pistol ...but not finding many in th uk websites.....that said im working abroad with limited net access maybe why i aint seeing em. anybody know a good stockist of air pistols etc that are web based but willing to post to another RFD?? ps just a query but why are pistols banned form sale in the "trading post" section? sauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockstockandbarrel Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Mate just a couple of things, i would go for the HW45 but dont expect it to be near the 6ftlb legal limit as in my experience this is not the case when they have settled down and you put them over a chrony. The EB22 is a nice pistol but it is loud and will draw attention when you use it ( this might not be an issue depending on where you will be using it). Also with any C02 pistol you will have the added expence of the capsules to constantly buy. It is also recommended with the EB17 that you do not leave capsules in the gun when not in use so if you decide half way through a plinking session you have had enough you will be throwing gas away as you remove the pierced capsule from the gun. Kindest Regards Lockstockandbarrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) cheers for the advice....sound wouldnt be an issue...and im not too bothered bout cost of co2 capsules they dont cost the earth from what i can gather. wheirauch rifles are amazing so i guess their pistols will be of the same quality..... should have said from the start tho.....im not a fan of replica / glock / sig looking style pistols . cheers sauer Edited October 2, 2010 by Sauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I have some interest in this as I'm after a new Air Pistol for the company for despatch of rats primarily (on Glue Boards). Needs to be .22, spring is fine and almost certainly best, no need for anything clever as the guys can just about hit a stuck rat at 2 or 3 inches away! Anyway, COST...must be under £100. Very few pistols get close to the 6ft lb limit, certainly no need for it for me here, the usual 3-4ft lb is perfectly adequate! I have an old BSA Magnum at the moment which is fine but another is required and I have hardly looked at air pistols for years. Any ideas? Cheers PS I hope this does not look like I'm Hi jacking the thread, I think we are both after similar info! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 not at all Dekers hi-jack away!!!!heheheheheheeee ( i dont mind at all bud ) seriously the more info the better your right we both after similar thing i wasnt thinking co2 either but cost of the capsules aint too bad and i dont mind paying. im not after some replica looking kinda thing, heres crosmans site with specific links below http://www.crosman.com/airguns/pistols?p= was pointed towards BenjaminEB .22 sounds what im looking for http://www.crosman.com/airguns/benjamin/EB22 the other was the crosman ratbuster / 2240 http://www.crosman.com/airguns/pistols/2240 granted these are both co2 capsule..... not sure bout springers for this work other than older webleys......been advised to stay away form new webley typhoon.....looks like plastic trash anyway. keep advice / n where to buy coming guys sauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
