    Short & sweet for me. Nice weight, not too light, well balanced. Silky smooth trigger, one stroke/pump a lot easier than my Gamo Compact. Build quality seems good. Whisper quiet on one stroke, easily good for 6yds. Great safety, very accurate.

    Final verdict, I'm placing an order for mine tomorrow

    Another Short & Sweet reply I'll leave the indepth review with the people who can shoot

    For me I liked the looks, build quality. The only thing for me is being a left hander I couldn't appreciate the grip properly. However I was still able to shoot it without it being too uncomfortable.

    I'd be really interested in trying a dedicated Left Hand version.

    Then having said that if Sinead or Sloan would want to have ago with my one they'd struggle. So will there be a Ambi grip Alecto?

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Sinistral Alecto

    Hey Paddy
    Don't be a tightwad, get one of each.
    Ohhhh yeah I suggested to Brian that they should swirl some green and brown dye into the mix when moulding the casings so they don't need you to cammo them.

    Stuck

    Did the Webley man get them both back? Only one seemed to keep getting stuck in TargetBunny's inside pocket all day
    They NEVER got stuck. In fact the rapid cross draw was the reason for the Laura Croft's Garandad comment.

    Mind you, I was getting a bit worried about that Brian. He frisked me so often I was expecting him to ask for a date.

    I heard from Brian at Webley today. They are chuffed at the feedback that has been given after our trial with the Alecto at the weekend.

    Great, does that mean that all those that participated on Saturday will get a discount on a new Alecto?

    Well, look how much market research they got in one day, must have saved themselves a fortune, even though poor old Brian probably had to give up the rest of his weekend to dry out those four rifles.
