HW45 is by far the best quality, but I think it's now around £250, while the Benjamin is about £100; that's good value, hard wood handle and brass metalwork, The Ben is much smaller and lighter too although a bit more fiddly to load until you get used to it.

Why the obsession with power, someone asks? Well I for one don't like to be able to see my pellet travelling towards the target from an under-powered kiddies replica pistol, much prefer something designed to do the job not make you look (and maybe feel) like James Bond or the Lone Ranger... but many others obviously feel different, or these replicas wouldn't sell as well as they do.
