    Hi, on non recoiling pistol one of these will be just fine
    RED DOT

    If you want to go from ultra precision and better build quality then something like an AimPoint would be great, but at about £300+ it's hard to justify.

    Enjoy your new toy.

    Good luck, Phil

    How many guns does a bug require?

    I've got 4 now but I may only keep 3.

    Anics Skif A3003 - Waiting to be modded for IPAS/PP Comps
    HW45 - The king of springers - Waiting for new grips
    Rohm Twinmaster Trainer - Needs sights sorting (grrrr, not that I got ripped off or owt)

    And just turned up today a S&W 8" bad boy


    On that subject, the bluing needs cleaning up, any good solutions to give it a polish up?

    Hi there

    What modding can be done with these?

    I have the A-9000 S (Beretta copy) which I find surprisingly accurate considering the negative comments I have read elsewhere.

    But, as a serial 'fiddler' I would like to know what others do to improve them.

    Cheers, Mark

    Well you can up the power, improve the trigger and make the magazines smoother.

    Just waiting to here back from a guy who does it, or used to do it!.

    If that's the one Phil uses: that in itself is a great recommendation.

    Ballistol polishes up bluing beautifully.

    Hawke Red Dot

    If you're looking for something super sweet (ie small, fast & accurate) check out the Hawke Red Dot Reflex Sight.

    I've one of these on a Drulov DU-10 and it's almost magical.... super fast fire fun... 5 shots, 5 targets,
