    I've been re reading this thread and there were at least 10+ people who were going to buy one of these. I bought one and then sold it to cookie simply because my hands were too big for the grip. Only 2 have appeared in the UBC comps, one was mine, now cookie's and the other belongs to Ric O'shay who wasn't mentioned in this thread.

    Were people put off by the bad press showing this to be a re badged existing Turkish pistol

    Was it the lack of availability before Christmas

    Did you decide in hindsight that what you already owned wouldn't be bettered by this

    I was intending to purchase one, although I don't think I posted to that effect on this thread, but I have not, yet.
    I have been side tracked by the purchase of a Colt 1911, resulting in the need to save up my pennies again (well £2 coins actually). I was well on my way when I got the urge to hunt out a FWB 65/80. This also worked out well with the purchase of a 65 so back to saving again. Then I got the chance of an SMK XS78, a long standing ambition, at a very good price.
    Ho hum, I may yet get an Alecto, it's still on my wish list......
    .....but currently in third place
