    Lovely

    Very nice I have smallish hands and did not have any problems with the grip to be honest. These are great pistols especially in .177.

    Kindest regards

    Very cool. I have a couple of these. One as yours in black and another with a silver lower half. Wonder how many other coloured 240's are out there. They did blue and red too, I think the silvers are most common. Mine is also a polished finish and not anodised as the other colours. As I haven't seen another i dont know if this is normal or not.

    I love 240 Magnums, I've got two, one mint and one "user". I fitted a lower powered spring in the user, it's easier to cock, sweeter to shoot and surprisingly not much less powerful. I think they're an underrated pistol really, they are a bit different, a bit idiosyncratic, and good fun. They can be accurate with practise. They challenging to shoot but in a good way, mastering one and improving your shooting with it is very satisfying. I hope yours gives you a lot of pleasure.

    PS I have medium-to-large hands and find the grip comfortable, though my hold for this pistol is a little unusual.

    Have to say I really wanted to like them, mines a series 2 in .22, but I find the sight adjustment runs out to early for me to hit anything so in the new year I think it will be looking for a new home. I much prefer my Hw45 in .177/.20.
