What should an Air Pistol look like ?

[Hombre]

FAS 604 with ergonomic grip.

Best looking air pistol ever made.

Simple, elegant, stylish, best balanced pistol I've ever shot or held.
Totally lacking in flash or bling but just has it all for me

Weak. Weaker than many match pistols (they struggle with punching a clean hole at 10M), and the trigger isn't all that good.

Still a nice pistol though.

^^^^.....but on the plus side they are easy to cock, which makes them pleasant to use, especially for 6M.

Yes John, I'm actually telling the truth rather than kidding (for a change).

Still nice though. And mine was reliable. Nice sights, and they look really good, until you see the 602 (.22lr), or the FAS AP606 air pistol (which looks rather like the AirMatch 600 from one side).

Yours must have been a bad one chap, the ones I have shot have performed very nicely. Interesting take on the trigger, maybe not set up correctly?

From experience with a 604 I'm with you on the power front, but to gain more information have asked the question in this new thread.

The best looking is undoubtedly the Walther LP53T (the short version of the LP53, with 4" barrel). The 'T' is for 'tasche', which is the German word for 'pocket'...

It's rumoured that Carl Walther would wander around the factory wearing a nickel plated version in a shoulder holster. Pretending to be James Bond.

Carl died in 1915

There is a big problem with this in the uk as we cannot be trusted to own proper cartridge pistols for lots of us we have only got replica pistols/revolvers that we can try and kid ourself that we have proper guns and not in fact just toy guns. I love my old webly air pistols it is what it says on the box an air pistol and for the most part I prefer my airguns to look like airguns. Then we get onto airsoft some of them are such good a copies of cartridge guns that it is hard to tell that they are not the real thing and are good for collecting and indoor plinking.

I never let facts get in the way of the rumours I make up.
