I did like the co2 I tried only thing that puts me off is the filling it up, I'm all set for pcp with a tank & I like my springer's. Not sure I need another system to mess with but will definitely give the comp a go with a loaner

Good point TC2. I hadn't thought of that.
What CO2 target pistols run off those silly little cartridges?
Still on with the theme of Classic Pistols like those used in the 'MPL' and the proposed 'Carbon Classic' - couldn't we have a 'Webley Classic' section? Scoring would be easy. First to hit the black would be the winner!!!!!

I remember telling Bob earlier in the year that I had no interest in Pistols, I have now got four. I won't be getting a co2 one.

There are some very good Classic single shot match pistols that run on those "silly little cartridges" including the Hammerli Master, TAU 7, Alfa Prod.
As a mater of interest, I bought a new CO2 bottle in 2011 and although I have used it a hell of a lot it still has some gas in it and it is still on it's original fill.
A large CO2 cylinder really does last for ages, but the dissapointing thing is that I have been told it will cost me £3 to have it refilled !
A bulk fill CO2 bottle could easilly be shared amongst a small group of shooters making a cheap solution to re-filling - get one with a "diptube" and it will not need to be inverted to fill the pistol.
If that route was chosen, there are some superb CO2 match pistols out there that includes the Feinwerkbau Model 2, C10 and C20, Walther CP1, CP2, CP3, CPM1, CPM, CP200, CP201.
I will leave it to other's to seek-out more good examples of CO2 match pistols but those shown already give a good choice of models that are available on the s/h market at very realistic prices.

Hi Bill,
I actually bought my cylinder brand new locally - I will check the price and let you know what it cost and where I bought it - we have the receipt in the club records.
Most seem to pick up a cylinder from their local pub or their suppliers as they use them to carbonate the drinks that are served from the pumps.
It should not be too difficult to find a local supplier closer to you.

What an excuse for the Mrs. "I'm just off down to the pub to refill my cylinder!"

If I stick to shooting mpl for Rivi & shoot ccl for Rossendale does that still make me Tc2?.... Only asking as after the wife's Christmas shopping trip I will definatelly be shooting the ccl with a borrowed pistol .......if anyone has anything interesting I can try on either side of the great divide ) (I know when it comes to guns I'm anybody's) ......And by anything interesting I wasn't thinking of the origanal tc2's yellow tutu or the pink one you wanted him to get.....I have plenty of co2 bulbs just need something to use them in, don't think my barretta is up to it "or is it"........single shot target barretta!! They said the hw45 couldn't cut it I'll bring it with me tomorrow you never know!!
This "muscle power leaque" sounds fun
I think most of the older guys (not many girls in our club..) started shooting ap with those spring powered feinwerkbau 65's. I bet club still has some in working order.. Will challenge some fellow shooters to shoot spring power for one competition some time
