    walther/umarex red storm recon or baikal mp 651k?

    Whats the best pistol and why?
    Will be used for 1 and 2 handed fastfire at 6 yrds
    dont suggest other pistols as these are the only multishot/semi-auto non-match airpistols that are legal here

    Both look pretty ropey!!!

    Are the other Umarex pistols not legal ?? I assume because they are replicas ??

    I have a 651k. It is surprisingly good. It lacks the heft and some of the refinements of the classic Umarex replicas (CP88 etc), but shoots about as well.

    The MP651K is a brilliant pistol, shoots lead ball, steel ball, and standard pellets, and well made. You will beat every other pistol in rapid fire iron plate action shooting (IPAS) as I have seen in the past

    Yes, that's my experience - the low bore line minimises the effect of small errors in hold, sight, or trigger control. I only wish it had a better Umarex-style magazine, and that, on my example, the rear sight wasn't slightly canted. Mine will put cheap wadcutters rapid fire into an inch at 10M all day long, which some of my more expensive pistols won't.

    Sounds like a pretty decent pistol, how much are they ?

    80 quid from SGC. Or 96 with the stock and fake barrel extension. I bought the latter, but it's a waste of sixteen pounds. They make a good pistol into an awful carbine.

    Thinking about it, I doubt you can get a better CO2 multi-shot for that kind of money.

    By the way, the more expensive 655 "Yargin" is awful.
