killer rabbit (r1000) Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Anybody know if the Beretta XXTreme .177 CO2 Air Pistol is full power? i have one myself (very nice pistol ), i rekon mine's about 5fp but works very well at 25 yards using walther co2 bulbs & crossman ecopell or any of the co2 pellets (the ones with the steel head & plastic jacket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nick Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 May be interested in your hand gun also Rob. Let me know when its up. basicaly its up now and you wont be sorry you bought the CP99 nothing really worng with it, more me just knitpicking LOL ROB They only hand pistol that comes close to 6ftlbs is the .22 Sheridan Prohunter Pistol (.177 is .5ftlbs less). I have one, I have never been able to shoot it straight, the trigger is terrible and it sounds like a cannon going off. Stick to a crossman ratcatcher, more accurate and quieter and near the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) You are lucky that you dont need a licence for all these air pistols. Over here, we have to get a permit for any pistol, which have, over the last year, starting to get licenced. But the beauty over here is, we can also get higher caliber hand guns licenced too. Anything from .22 air pistol to 44 magnum. Edited May 7, 2006 by Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chezney Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 As rats can see about 9ft, my weapon of choice for them is my 10-shot .177 gamo p23 especially with laser sight helping me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLINSRI Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Got the CP99 and i must say its great fun. More powerful than i thought it would be, well made and nice looking. Getting through co2 like nobodys business. I am not very good with it yet but close groups at 15 yards seems possible. Very happy with it. (thanks davej) Would I use it for ratting? No......Thats what my new TX200 is for. Now, the TX is a real beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
