Fun with a hurricane

[peddy]

Having got into pistols lately, after buying a pcp and x2 co2 was wanting a springer to try. Just bought a Webley hurricane off here as it was near mint and boxed. Had a go on Sunday and was very surprised how well it shot, ok not as accurate as my brocock but very satisfying when you hit a target. The open sights are excellent for my eyes and packs a punch for a light weight. Not bad for its age. Was thinking of an original next any thoughts?

Hi, I've had a Hurricane and more recently a Tempest, I liked them both but found I missed my target more often than not. Got various bb pistols, fun but not accurate. Bought a Gamo compact, Ok but kinda plastiky! Then got an Original mod 6, Wow! Very high quality pistol and so accurate it surprised me. Now bought a mint Original mod10 in original case. Can't recommend these older pistols enough. John.

I was thinking of a model 5 due to cost. The 10 looks a top pistol, what's the 6 like?

6M and 10M are proper match pistols.

6G (no recoil) and 5 (recoil) are spoiled by the fixed front sight hood IMHO. Makes them next to impossible for shooting at a match card.

Five shots freestanding at six yards with my .22 Hurricane. How accurate do you want?

I love mine. It's got quite a stiff trigger, but once you get used to it, it's a hell of a good pistol for the price.

I'd try a Gamo Compact next if you feel you want something more accurate.

Having owned most models of Webley pistols starting with a pre war Junior I've found that my early Hurricane in .22 is the most accurate of the lot... Currently have a Senior, Premier, Tempest & a couple of later Hurricanes, Did have a recoilless 6M for a while, but found it a bit too 'clinical'. Wish I still had it tho'.

Be better if the pellets actually made it all the way through the cardboard
