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.

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

i do like the fwb and bulk fill isn't a problem as I have a soda stream bottle and an s10 bottle spare

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!

limited by budget and the fwb100/102/103 are £300+.

Not as reflected in the voting so far.

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.

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'd say the FWB. Its famous in targetshooting, thats for a reason. Aeron is tsjech, that means they can and wíll have issues. More or less, easy or more complex. But thats why they're cheaper.
Drulov is a bit similar. I've heard several people having to size some pellets cause it would jam otherwise..
Why not look at sech Steyr as well if yr looking at FWB?
If yr looking at budget and singleshot, dont forget the Tau 7. YES they áre tsjech as well, but súch awesome shooters that I forgive them..

Have you considered the Baikal IZH46M? Secondhand value is within your budget.

I already have an SSP although I could upgrade that depending on the price.

Love a steyr or an FWB pcp and now i have the funds to buy one

[hwtyger]

Why pcp? CO2 is FAR cheaper to buy and júst as good. I have a Steyr LP5 co2.
