Tasty "NEW" Webley SSP Pistol

[Adam77K]

Without getting involved in the argument.

I would imagine there will be a version marketed as hatsan for 30-40% less. If there is I will be buying one.

You sir, have a very good point there!

All this talk about where guns are produced, how many of you are on the net with british made computers we all know they come from china or far east in general, same goes for all your electronic gear, the clothes you wear,
& quite a lot of cars, give the new owners of webley a chance, yes the pistol produced by the previous owners was Rubbish, lets not decry this one till we get our hands on it, & just maybe if the company gets on its feet they'll start making in the UK again. To many people in this country defeatist & negative,
Oh and by the way a Lot of euro guns have parts made in turkey & china with just final assy & packing in europe so that they can claim ther european, including Very pricey target guns...mike...

The problem with computers is that nobody makes computers in the west any more, so we don't have the option of buying British. We did have the option of buying British, with air pistols, until recently. The fact that electronics, clothes, and everything else is made abroad should make it more important to buy British where we can, not less, a country needs a broad range of industries and skills, currently we are losing ours and we need to do what we can where possible, not just roll over and say "well, me computer's chinese, so are me clothes, might as well buy a foreign airgun too."

I'm not being defeatist either, as I have said, if either Webley or BSA starts making a pistol in the UK I will buy one, pronto. I will not buy a foreign-made airgun that I consider to be overpriced by unscrupulous businessmen trying to make money out of a brand-name. Not that I'm saying that is what is going on here, I'll wait and see on that score, all I am saying at the moment is that in my opinion this gun is too expensive for what it is, just as the other Webley's turkish made Longbows were too expensive (pitched at a price higher than the original Webley was selling British-made ones for!).

To clarify my former post on this thread, the 'Alecto' is a rebadged product, not Hatsan, but has not yet been made available under any other company's name.

I see I think. It probably will be sold under another brand as well, but hasn't hit the market yet. Presumably because the Webley deal allows them first crack of the whip. In which case my guess if it's not Hatsan is now that it's Chinese made as per the Beeman P17/2004.
