Your "keeper" pistols - let's hear what and why

[tinbum]

Gonna have to get me one of those. Mr Harrington missed a trick not putting a weaver rail on that bad boy.

A Weaver rail? What's the point in that?

That is brilliant. I may have to fix mine up like that. But you have 3 un-used rails. I vote for a laser on the bottom one and a light on the left. As for the right, I don't know. An IR illuminator? A bayonet? Another Gat?

And maybe multicam all of it?

Can you fit a suppressor to a Gat?

Fitting optical sights will increase the accurate range to four feet eight inches. I did this also on my 12.5 mm steam punk Big Daddy below, which is also one of my keepers (unless someone offers me 40 quid posted).

I've owned loads, from pre WW2 Webley Juniors & Mk 1's, thru to CO2 Crosman & Dan Wesson revolvers, what would I keep? My early Hurricane .22. Got later Hurri's & Tempest's in 177 & 22, but the early Hurricane is the best.

Oh, I do have a Premier & a Senior, but but much prefer the Hurricane.

My keeper is a Walther LP53, inherited from my father. Probably not the best pistol in the world but I like it!

HW75

Great looking, good handling, brilliant trigger, superb consistency, recoil free, accurate.

[Aimstraight]

Quality build, fully adjustable sights, match grip, C02 powered, easy refill - no vulgar cocking of springers or pumping SSPs Around 250 shots per fill @ 500 fps, good to go for 500 shots with two cylinders . Not as passive as a SSP or PCP, bit of a crack to it; especially when adjusted to 550 fps!

Don't you think these air pistols are addictive

[Blackrider]

Only own one air pistol, an Accles and Shelvoke .177 cal. Beautiful condition but I can hit Buggerall with it !

Wouldn't part with it though as it once belonged to my father-in-law now deceased.

Always aspired to owning a HW 45 but somehow never got round to it.

A bit bored so I thought I would update this thread !
I still have the Acvoke but I have acquired a boxed Webley Mk. 1 Premier "E" .22 and an excellent Tempest .22 Cal.
May chase a few more Webbo's over the next year or so !

A Brilliant collection, well done !

[DJWUK]

I've had loads of pistols over the years, but my keeper is my Air Arms PP1, PCP. Just a pleasure to use and beautifully constructed, not many made (somewhere around 100), I'll never part with it.

I think the term "keeper" is both subjective and transient. That's the very nature of what we do. My new keeper is a FAS 604 MK2 which is as lovely to look at as it is to shoot. After a recent service by Bob at Checkmate, it's bloody fabulous. It's giving my brand new LP2,Compact some serious competition in the "ooooh which one today?" stakes....

[Paul Dilks]

For ease and convenience of loading , unique design, ergonomics , power and accuracy my Hy-Score in .22 takes some beating.

[PaulR]

Easy one for me - Crosman 600 - unique and such fun to shoot.

Webley Premier - I have an "A" and and "E". I think these shoot the best of the lot and I have a selection of 17 from Mark 1 to Alecto.
