Hi all,
As I've stated before in a previous thread I'm a complete beginner in the world of air guns, having never owned or even shot one before, But I am interested in taking up pistol shooting and am probably going to pop down to South East airgun club in Paddock wood one Sunday to meet a few members and look around. Im thinking the sensible thing to do is wait a while, Try a few pistols out and see which one feels best for me, Or do I buy one before I join a club?
Thanks

Definately DO NOT BUY until you've been to the club.
I guarantee if you buy one now you'll see something at the club that you'd rather have instead.
It's a very personal thing, there are so many mechanisms (CO2/pump/SSP/Spring etc) and so many styles that you really ought to have a look at what others have got and get their feedback on the ownership experience before taking the plunge.

Good advice, buying one now without the benefit of having seen or tried some of whats out there will almost certainly result in the purchase of something you'd later regret.

Thanks, that's what I thought as like I said I'm a complete beginner, Just wanted to get advice from more experienced shooters.
Thanks again.

If you're seriously after taking up air pistol target shooting as a sport, by all means follow the other chaps' advice and join a club, get advice, try a few out, weigh up your options and make a considered choice. If you just want a pistol for plinking though, informal target shooting in your garden or even indoors, have a look at a few, see what you fancy and if something catches your eye just get it and have some fun!
