Haven't seen one of these for a while. I'm really curious which pistols people have held onto and why they treasure them.

My personal favourite is a Benjamin EB22 with a trigger shoe fitted. Have now got some lovely custom target grips courtesy of Andy (airgunner.177), a silencer adaptor, silencer and pistol scope. Also have a skeleton stock I recently acquired from the US, turning it into a micro-carbine! I swap it out as I see fit and sometimes just enjoy it stripped down with nothing but irons, original grips and the trigger shoe. Love the poke of the thing in .22 calibre (especially given its size), how loud it is, how solid it feels and the felt recoil I get because of its size. Sure, the iron sights are crude and you get used to compensating by shooting to the right slightly but it's terrific fun and brings a smile to your face. I especially love how you can slip it in your pocket on walk round a permission!
