I'm liking the looks of this in black.

Yes I prefer the Black IMO looks nicer than that military green.

I've sent various gunshops emails asking if they are stocking and estimated RRP will update the thread should I receive any updates

Ok had some shall I say interesting replies to my emails

Won't mention any gunshop names but some replies:

Biggish importer down south says no news yet on the RRP but will have the item live on the website in the future

Dutch gunshop who I have had numerous air rifles from says it wil almost certainly be against the law over there because it looks too much like a real gun they must have different laws in Holland

Biggish midlands gunshop says they have not stocked the stoeger XP4 as the beeman & HW40 are best for the money

That one has confused me and I have sent a reply saying without the RRP of the stoeger how can it be compared?

Still waiting for a few more gunshops to reply to emails and will update in due course

I can't get that excited about a rebadged P17 TBH.
And I strongly suspect it will be a P17 in another outer shell, and not a HW40....
If this is the case then the gunshop is quite right in stating that the P17 is better value for money (I thought an RRP had already been put forward, that was between the P17 and HW40?).

Replicas of any kind are verboten in Holland btw.

Understand what your saying but without a confirmed RRP on the Stoeger (AFAIK there isn't one yet) it sounds like guess work to me on how it compares

Also is the XP4 confirmed as being a rehashed P17? Without seeing one and comparing component parts assume this is also another guess unless the gunshops know more info and have tried/used/compared one? Doubt it though AFAIK there's none available yet.

Thanks for the heads up about replicas in holland wasn't aware of that

Just received another reply from another Midlands gunshop:

Hi I have just spoken with GMK and they advise that this air pistol should hopefully be available in the UK by September, at present they are unable to advise on the probable price.

It's my best guess...Trigger is the same, safety is the same, release catch is the same....
I'll buy you a tin of pellets if I'm wrong

Haha deal

I've noticed in the vids and online info the safety on the XP4 is one of those auto jobbies comes on every time the pistol is cocked, you know I've owned so many HW40's and Beeman clones over the years but I can't remember if either of those had the auto safety feature

It's not a deal breaker but certainly not my preferred safety.
