Help - Plinking Pistol

[TonyHolden]

I'm looking for some advice on a backyard plinking pistol. I have been tempted by the 1377, HW45/75 and the Gamo Compact, but after some serious thought, I want something that is fun and and can be used in a rapid fire way, I think I have to opt for co2. I also think I'll probably be better off staying away from a gun that fires BBs, my yard is all concrete and I really don't want ricochets, if for some reason there is an errant shot.

At the moment I'm looking at the S&W 586, the Colt Government 1911 A1, and the Gamo PT-85. Are there other pistols I should be looking at? Pistols with a silencer/moderator available would be a plus.

Webley Nemesis. No springs, no CO2. The perfect back garden plinker !!

Hardly a multi-shot is it?Umarex walther cp88 or beretta 92fs are multi-shot and can both be fitted with a silencer with an adapter,as can the smith and wesson pistols.

Ooops.....sorry, had ignored his multi shot requirement. Would still buy a nemesis over a multishot CO2.

The CP88 does look nice, though I think I prefer the looks of the one with the 6" barrel, the Competition? Currently I'm leaning more toward the Umarex/Colt 1911, I think it's time to head to my nearest shop to see what they have.

I went with the Walther CP88, it's a nice handful, accurate, and I managed 12 mags out of one co2 bulb, would probably have got more if I'd thought to count to 8 more often
