If you try a CP99 and a S&W side by side the Cp99 won't be picked up twice.

I've got a CP99 and its great fun for plinking with, you just keep squeezing that trigger and watching the tin cans fly. As its CO2 its easier to load than a springer, enabling children to use it (under supervision of course).
If its just for back garden plinking at tin cans and the such, then you won't be disapointed with a CP99. If you want to do some target shooting then go for something else.
Has anybody got any info on the "remanufactured" Crosman CO2 pistols at JSR.at 30quid they seem a bargain.Or is it that they're only worth 30 quid?
'Tis only for plinking really. Bugger it, its getting closer
I have a S&W (6"), a Skiff and a Beretta 92fs - my personal favorite is the Smith.
I never use the other two for any competitive shooting, but i do plink in the back garden range with them, their fine for 10m work, but dont have the accuracy/power for distance stuff. The 92fs is the looker of the bunch though.
You get what you pay for these day's especially with Gamo
CP99 looks great , but valving makes it good for a couple of magazines then you will have trouble as power drops until gas warms up
CP88 is a much better valving and better constancy
But the 8 shot magazines often wear and loose teeth resulting in bad pellet engement.
My Favourite and most peaople I have up on the Range is the 6in Smith
I have a Anics Skiff , great in competitions , but end up with sore fingers after competitions.
The F1 is a longer barrel to give more power , still same trigger , heavy.
And Yes I do have Licensed Brocock Pistols

For pistols Shooters that want to do more than plink
But recently got into Shooting .44 Underlever Rifle , Gallery Style so it's another world

A question for all you Smith & Wesson owners out there. Is the S&W 6 " powerful enough to knock over the metal boar knockdown target that is widely available. I ask because my Webley Hurricane can knock it over at a reasonable range but my CO2 powered CP99 doesn't have the power to knock the metal target over.
