All great info! Air pistols run the gamut: some are little more than toys, others are capable of one-hole accuracy at 10 meters. (Air pistol, like air rifle,is an Olympic sport, since 1984).Originally Posted by cookie
Hi Skipper, Jim above has mentioned the UBC of which I'm the founder and would be happy to make you a member just PM me your first name and a tag-line like the one found here or look on our website www.UmarexBoysClub.co.uk
as for The Ideal Pistol!! we will leave that and say the ideal starter pistol, it really depends on how much you have to spend and what you want to do with it. £100 will get you a good Fun Umarex 8 shot Co2 Pistol, or a Weihrauch HW40 or Gamo Compact, £200 will get you a Weihrauch HW75 or a Rohm Twin master, £350 will get you a Alfa Proj Co2 Sport or a Baikal IZH46M and then the price really starts to rocketHave a look at this thread it may help. what ever you decide go for a .177
hope this helps

Are you interested in serious bullseye competition? Or backyard tin can shooting? Combat matches? Knocking down iron plates? Lots of UK guys shoot "hunter" matches, simulating hunting game (though this is more popular with rifle). Are you more interested in accuracy? Power? Multi-shot capability?
PCP's dominate serious bullseye competition. CO2's are very popular with plinkers and are ideal for combat matches. Some prefer the traditional spring piston action, others like the no-recoil single stroke pneumatic.
You might look into the Pyramyd Air site. It's a US company, but just to see what's available out there....They also do air pistol reviews.
