Fair pistol swap??

[Knockedover]

I have a Smith & Wesson 586 with all 3 different length barrels but really dont get on with the CO2 side of it and was looking to swap for a spring pistol,HW45 or similar, and have been offered a Predom Luznik (sp??)
Now i know diddly squat when it comes to pistols and im really not sure whether this would be a good swap or not.....to be honest im not liking the look of the Predom but if its a finacially sound swap then thats ok.
What the pistoleers of the BBS think?? Good swap,bad swap??
All the best

HW45 makes 5.5lb torque, just under the legal limit, not many pistols do this, I would say go for it !

Have to say you wouldn't do much better than the 45 but it's whether you'd get a swap.......that's why I say sell then buy what you want.
Advertise in the "wanted" for a swap...worth a try...

A 686 with all three barrels should go like hot cakes, would be surprised if it was around long. if i wasn't saving for a target pistol i would have it and sell my 586.

Financially? Its not far off. Maybe a touch light on your side, but not so much as to be taking the mickey. IIRC I bought a boxed predom for I think about £120.

Its a funny pistol to get if you don't really like it though. Don't assume its as good as a LP53, its not.

Don't suppose you fancy a Weihrauch HW40??...thats a single-stroke-pneumatic...I fancy a change and haven't tried the Smith & Wesson yet...let me know what you think....

torque is turning force that doesn't to airgun power lever

.177 hw45's do about 5ft.lbs....personally i'd sell the S&W
