CHEAP TARGET PISTOL 5-10mtr

[corgibandit]

I owned a Buckmark, it was easy to cock but as suggested in a previous post not a very good trigger so I didn't find it that accurate. I chopped it in for a CP-1 which is a much better pistol.

The CP-1 can also be improved cheaply and easily to give it a nicer trigger and improve accuracy. Matt Brooks did a great review of the CP-1 in this month's Airgun World magazine.

I've modded my CP-1 with parts made by a guy called John Small who produces some lovely brass parts including a replacement muzzle featuring a sight post and silencer thread. I'll happily pass his contact details on if you want to PM me.

I'd say a Crosman 1377, but it could be an issue for you to pump it.
I have a Crosman 2240 (.22) C02 7 inch barrel and it's NOISY ! maybe too noisy for the garden, unsuppressed.
I have a Crosman 2300T which is a .177 10 inch barrel C02 which is quiet(er) and very accurate, should be able to get one on your budget.
I tried someones Beeman pistol at my gun club and it was very quiet, recoilless and was cocked (compressed) with a single pump, about £70 too !
Whilst I haven't tried one, I'd say the Benjamin Trail NP (nitro piston) may also be worth considering.

Hope that helps !

hi im after for a bit of advice, im thinking about having a go at target shooting and was wondering what pistol people would recommend to start out for around £200. it will be mainly in my garden to begin with as im disabled and cant get about very well. im right handed but this is also pretty knackered and weak so break barrels arn't really an option thanks Mick

Mick,dont know if you have made a purchase yet or not?bearing in mind your disabillity then the best bet must be a decent Co2 pistol?have you looked at the LUV?there have been some very good comments on here about this little target pistol,it is a .177, should solve any handling problems you may have,at about £90 a bargain.
