We took a couple of HW45 Silver Star pistols to RMTC last night hoping to show that we had found a worthy rival to the GAMO "kickers" we currently think are the best choice as an MPL pistol to take full advantage of the score UP +1 point on offer.

To say the GAMO's blew them away would actually be an understatement - they were not in the same league - nowhere near - and probably no better than a Webley Tempest (to give some sort of idea where we were with them last night).

We spent some time on the triggers and different pellet types ( as well as just getting used to the pistols), but although they do look superb and are great fun to shoot - they were not too good at scoring anything!

John G ( our top shot with a kicker) has had his own HW 45 Silver Star for some time, and I took down an almost new example - but we just cannot get any good or consistant grouping with them.

John has just re-lubed another pair of s/h Centre pistols we bought last week - and both of them shot superbly straight away so it looks like our hunt to find a worthy or genuine rival choice for the best MPL legal "kicker" continues as there is absolutely nothing we have found yet that even comes close to being in the same league as the GAMO triplets - Centre - Falcon - Target.

If you are considering buying a "kicker" to use in the MPL - look no further - the GAMO's cannot be beaten for this job - and if we ever find something better - we will let you know here first!
