I'm not on your side of the pond, so perhaps it's easier getting one's hands on the K12 here. Had mine since June of 2013, and I like it very much. It shoots holes exactly where I've got it pointed when the trigger goes *click* and otherwise performs flawlessly. The recoil absorber is a fine thing, very reliable. The K12 weighs about the same as my old K10 and is quite similar in many ways, but the trigger is much more refined, a cleaner release by far.
