Crosman makes some decent C02 single shots that might fit the bill: or a Benjamin Sheridan EB.Originally Posted by Russell Start
(I'm CERTAIN about the body swap! I got the info from Jimmy Hoffa, and from Elvis!

I HOPE they have a selection of air pistols at the gun show, Russell. One problem we airgunners have here is that the abundance and relativel freedom of purchasing cartridge guns pushes air guns into a niche market.
But, it is starting to change for the better.
Elvis has never lied to me yet!

If you want accuracy, then be aware that CO2 power becomes very inconsistent in cold weather. I had a Rohm powered by CO2 which I converted to air, this resulted in a huge increase in accuracy. Same pistol, same shooter different power source.
Hope that's helpful.

With those requirements, my reply is best of luck unless you have about £400 for a Crosman 600 and that's IF one comes up for sale.
In .177 you are looking at Drulovs, Aerons, Rohm's, Steyr LP5 and then you are looking at £250-£400
