    Most Radical Air Pistol Design

    My vote would definately go to the Webley Mk1 first introduced in 1924. Although it used some ideas previously seen on earlier designs, it brought all the best bits together with a novel cocking system to produce the best air pistol ever made in my opinion anyway. Other manufacturers tried to compete, but none could better this design. The pistols continued to evolve over a period of over 60 years until the demise of the Tempest.

    I have collection of these fine pistols along with some of its contempories such as the Titan, ABAS Major, Lincoln Jeffries, Warrior etc and in my humble opinion none of these can match the Webley.

    Regards

    Brian
