In praise of Webley air pistols

[eyebull]

I agree with I.J. Just been given a hardly used 1950's Webley Senior .177 and compared to my Diana Model Six its a load of crap. Heavy trigger, bog basic sights. The only fun I get from it is putting it back in the case.

That would please IJ no end - one less for him to worry about

OK, £10, final offer

I still think that they remain a major factor in the airgunning education of many of us. As such, they should be treated with respect, unless they are unfortunate enough to live in the Blackburn area, where they will be lobbest from the highest building. You heathen, "Herr" Jones.

I had a .177 tempest from new in the early 90's, wasn't very impressed & it was hard to hit anything with it. Just recently i sold a .22 one for a freind on here & had a bit plink with it first. It was a totally different experience to shoot(with .22 thunderbolts) accurate, much less recoil & if I'd had any spare dosh I'd have bought it myself. Anyone else found the .22's shoot better? Or was my .177 a friday afternoon model.
