Views on the New Webley Alecto

[Garry]

The Alecto is a good pistol, but I still prefer my Compact. I can alter the wooden grip to suit me, and the trigger on mine is very predictable, whereas the Alecto is smooth, but too creepy for my taste. I'd prefer not to have a safety on a target pistol as well.

On the Compact you can alter the width of the rear sight, which is the 1st thing I looked for on the Alecto.

I think the Compact looks like a proper target pistol, and they're easy to take apart as well.

When I saw the Alecto I thought it might kill off the Compact, which I think would be a shame. I do think Gamo need to drop the price of the Compact if they are to stay on the market.

If you don't need the money, I'd hang onto your Compacts as I think they are designed for different purposes.

Well said Garry, I was looking for a reason to hang on to the Compact.
I'll guess the Alecto will have to be an additional gun then when I can save the necessary funds. May take a while as THIS arrived earlier this week courtesy of Eddiekneejerk. Cheers Ed

My RFD's getting the Alecto in soon so I may be tempted.
I was having a close look at it at the weekend and I think those grips might come off leaving the option of hand fitted anatomical wood grips
Oh Yes!
