    'Quality' CO2 pistol

    One of my more eccentric customers is looking for a 'quality' CO2 pistol that's close to the legal limit. Having sold hime quite a few pistols and rifles over the last year, I have a fair idea of what he'll like and the Umarex pistols don't qualify. I'm having trouble thinking of anything suitable so I thought I'd throw the challenge open here.

    A Crosman CR600 is always a good start

    Your ad doesn't state power output, What power is it producing?

    How about a Sheridan EB22, i had one a while back kicked out just under 5.5ftlb, though not the most accurate pistol i've ever owned. Or may be Crosman 2240 probably one of the most worked on pistols out there, can be tuned to legal limit.

    Quality CO2 pistol

    The Crosman 150, all steel in .22. I have 2 of these and a Cr157 in .177.

    They don't make them like this anymore!

    Umarex 8" Smith & Wesson plus a .22 conversion barrel & mags?
    You can swap between .22 and .177 in a couple of minutes and there's no external difference.
    Now that's quality

    The EB 22 is about as good as it gets if you want something off the shelf in CO2 with a hint of quality in the build, it's still an off the shelf model,

    Rohm Action, around 3.2/3.5 ft/ld..Crosman 600, is also my vote, around 3.5/4 ft/ld with the added incentive of being very, very naughty!!!

    The Rohm trainer is about as accurate as a CO2 gets, I don't think they are very near what you want power wise though. Much better trigger than an EB22

    But the OP asked for near legal limit power, not nowhere near legal limit power
