    It has to be the Feinwerkbau.

    The best trigger, sights and balance by far out of your choices.

    Not so good if you want a Red Dot or scope though.

    Brno. Accurate hard hitting and not as fragile as it looks. Had one when it was a few years old. I kept it for two years and sold it to a mate two years ago, still going strong.
    FWB Bulk c02 no thanks. Condors break. Dont like either Brocock pistols, front heavy.
    IMO obviously.

    prefer open sights for all my pistol shooting as scopes magnify shake and red dots can be awkward in various light conditions.....knew you would say the C25...it is a cracking pistol in the hand

    ran a du10 for 3 years no faults (not the same as the cheaper copies - can't remember what they were called) - true semi auto from an inline mag and regulated power from a simple CO2 mech that vents if pressure gets to low - ok for target (not really long enough sight line for true match - but ok) might not have enogh power for hft (2-3 ftlbs?) but if you ever get a chance to do rapid fire on falling plate or turning targets you will really enough the swing weight - that is what it was designed for as a low cost trainer for the chezch rapid fire pistol team - it even kicks a little in the hand - too much fun!

    I think you've already made your mind up!

    How about a FWB 100/102/103? No need for co2 bulk fill and accurate as you'll ever need for hft!

    As for the brocock and it's ilk, total pants IMO!

    The only pistol on the list that I've tried is the Aim-X, they're too front heavy for me so I went for an Atomic, it gets me around the Redhill pistol HFT on a fill with ease.
    I'm at the next Redhill shoot if you want to try mine with the trigger mod,
    Regards,

    I shoot a Brocock Aimx and have used it (scoped) for just over a year now. Compared to other pistols it probably is a little front heavy heavy, but I've got used to it.

    At my club we hold regular pistol competitions and I am pleasantly surprised at how I'm doing.

    I need to practice more to have more lucky shots.
