    The Scorpion will always be there albeit twice the size .
    After a while, switching to a Tempest or HW45 will seem a joy.
    Well we'll just have to see For now I've got a compact, powerful pistol in the 240 that I enjoy shooting. I have a .177 Tempest (really nice gun, it's fun & I like it a lot) but I prefer the Magnum. The Scorpion is ok but I just don't find it fun, it's undeniably powerful & well made, it just doesn't "float my boat".

    Cheers

    Im glad you like it and it suits you .....its simply that everyone who ever owned one, which includes about 8 of my regular shooting compardres, had theirs develop annoying inconsistancy issues....in reg of both power and the accuracy...
    You find yourself so wanting to like it.....its something different and compact but will eventually just annoy you.

    No problem. If it starts to annoy or does become a disappointment, i'll definitely post & say so

    Cheers & Happy Easter
