    Pistol question

    Hi Guys,

    Im thinking of getting into air pistols (i own a daystate Air rifle for hunting) this will be for fun only.

    But im waiting for the perfect pistol to come along, I keep finding it only to find out that a certain feature is missing that I want on a fun plinker!

    Beretta 92fs - no blowback (I like my recoil)
    Beretta px4 storm - blowback but no slide lock on finishing mag.

    So basically what im after is what everyones after but just incase it does already exist and my powers of google are failing can anyone advise me if there is a gun that:

    Is .177 pellet (dont mind if it can do both bb and pellet but must do pellet)
    Has blowback or some kind of recoil
    Has slide lock on last round
    Looks as nice as the Beretta 92fs (hard one I know! )

    As above go for the Deagle, but it's not pretty.

    Then buy a nickle Beretta with walnut grips and be a happy man.

    i havent got girly hands (but wouldnt say i have spades either) if youve felt the weight of a daystate PH6 this thing is gonna be featherlight!

    so does it have the slide lock and is the co2 cannister a pig to fit (ive heard it is)

    Hi Exentia, pulled back to give you first refusal, I have 10 pistols I can wait for another one to come up, Besides i don't need the stick from the rest of the UBC on here, of which you should become a member.

    Be warned: the Umarex Desert Eagle is almost entirely plastic - a big let down I think.

    I thought so too, until I got my hands on it and started firing
