    Get an Umarex Smith! It's lots of fun to shoot, and it will last a lifetime.

    Don't bother with a new one, plenty on here.
    Something like a used CP88, can't go wrong.

    Any Umarex pistol is ideal.

    I would highly recommend a Walther cp88. Have a nice heavy duty construction, and best of all a 2 stage trigger. Guns such as the CP99 by umarex are only single stage (as far as I remember)

    CP88 all the way mate. Immense fun.

    I also had an Anics Skiff A3000 too, which has a great high capacity magazine, and it looks the muts. Magazine system was not the most reliable though. Still good fun all the same.

    Cheers.

    Matt
    I never know what to put here

    Hi, above the guy's have given you lots of idea's,

    So like Russ says go for a second hand one on here, get the timimg right and you can pick up a real bargain.

    I would avoid the likes of the Skif A3000 and the Beretta A9000S and any BB only pistols

    Umarex Pistols are always good fun, for accuracy go for 6" Smith & Wesson which Jim suggested or the 6" CP88 Competition, for sheer pleasure go for the Beretta 92fs, 4" CP88 or the CP99 add a laser or red-dot to these and the results are amazing, bottom of the range IMO are the Colt 1911 and the Desert Eagle but loads of fun all the same.

    Once you have your pistol or before, send me you name and a tag-line like the ones found here in the members section, and i'll make you a member and you can join in our competitions.

    You are the first person i have ever heard praise the colt, I have had 2 of them and they are the worst pistol in the Umarex range, the trigger is heavy and the saftey on the grip is a pain in the rear end, the S&W has the best trigger by far and is definatly more accurate, In my opinion any way

    Everyone has different opinions, so I respect yours Mike.
