If only one Co2 pistol....
If you could own only one CO2 pistol - whether one you presently own, or a wish list item - which one would it be, and why?

my makarov ,it was half the price of my umarex clones , made entirely of steel not diecast and 95% origional gun parts, accuracy was the only problem but not now ive got me drozd barrel fitted.
come to think of it the drozd is a pistol so ill include that as well

I'd love a Makarov, if I can ever find one for sale, No gun shops near me (with in 30 miles) stock them.
One can live in hope. But I doubt I will get one.

2240 / 1740 all day long...the tinkerer's pistol!
Great fun to both shoot and modify.
I've had Umarex clones but the novelty wears off after 5 minutes........with a Crosman when you're bored with it you can just trick it up a bit more.
Six out of seven dwarfs aren't happy
I had a makarov but disliked it for the poor accuracy so sold it on, I have had a couple of crosman's but sold them on too. The only other co2 pistol I'm wanting is a S&W, I have had a go of one with the 8" barrel and was literaly blown away.Thats the next gun for my arsenal
I'd love to get hold of one of them in kit form, with all 3 barrels! any going spare?
there was a 4" version last week for sale on here but I've just bought a Lightning and am skint till next payday (always the case, init)
I managed to miss the last 2 on here since I joined, hopefully I will get he next one, fingers crossed
I live 264 miles from York Gun, its a bit far to travel for face to face as they can't mail order now. I want one but not that much lol.

Hi Jim, the best CO2 pistol, in fact the best air/gas pistol without spending a vast fortune is the
AERON B-96
also known as the RWS CP 96 in the US.
You can use it as a plinker - how about 5 shots in 1.5 seconds! It is a true semi-auto, it cocks and indexes the next pellet automatically, and still manages to have a nice trigger. The Drulov does this too but it is not as accurate and the trigger is squishy.
Or as a target gun - will shoot 4mm groups at 10 meters!
It has an adjustable grip and grip-angle, lovely clear sights with lots of different elements, a fill will give for about 120 shots or you can use Crosman capsules if you prefer, and it somes with nice anodised green finish to its receiver. It is a superb pistol, and they cost about £350 here, so maybe $400? That is the only catch, apart from they seem to be out of production, but you get alot of pistol for the money so you will only need the one...

I love the expression Andy but didn't know you'd taken a patent out on it.....Originally Posted by Andy_J
Grape busters is my phrase.....find your own.......
Gotta agree, my crooked barns are the bees knees when it comes to co2. I love my .177 version. It now has a Tasco Pro-Point Red dot sight on it and so accurate and powerful.

How about "Balloon Buster".....

Hmm, tricky.
God help me but it might be a modded 2240. Just the modding alone keeps me a happy bunny. If the question was fun per pound, no contest, the 2240 every time.
SW is also a serious contender in the fun stakes.
But then there is a DU-10. Semi auto just can't be wrong...
