Suggestions for "practical" Co2 pistol

As someone who used to do Practical Mini Rifle with a banana mag fed Ruger 10/22 sat in a synthetic Heckler & Koch styled stock, imho, the best gun for Co2 Mini Gun would be the Umarex MPK-PDW or the Sig Sauser MCX / MPX.

Interesting. Maybe I should try and open my mind to other options, but for some reason I can't look past the 1911 design. I just love it so much, but I know that as an airgun replica it is probably not the best thing to have for IPSC/IPAS.

Another vote for the CZ 75 P09 Duty. Looks good and has a reputation for reliability.

As far as the Sigs go, both the P226 and 320 - with it's unnecessarily complicated loading system - have been a disappointment to some. I have a feeling that the P250, which came out at the same time as the P226 and had the same pellet magazine, and has now been discontinued, was a better performer. People didn't seem to like it because it had a plastic lower. Funny that they have been buying the 320 which also has a plastic lower, lousy pellet feed and is far more expensive.

I really don't know why people have a thing about the use of plastic in guns. More and more firearms are being made with plastic lowers these days. And there is a reason. They are extremely strong, wear better than metal, are light and scratch resistant, and can be turned out in a variety of colours. And remember that the metal used in gas?CO2 bb guns is often just poorly painted pot metal.

There is a reason the Glock is the most widely used gun by police forces in America. After the success of the Glock numerous companies started to make their own plastic guns. I used to own firearms several years ago, when I lived abroad - all but one were metal eg. CZ75, but guess which one I shot most? My Glock.

Eventually I believe all guns will be made with plastic frames.

For anyone doing I.P.A.S
We use an iPhone app called Surefire shot timer.
Adjust the sensitivity , delay the start and it's excellent .

I agree with your point regarding the use of plastic in guns. In fact the better performing airsoft guns are plastic. I suppose metal has a more satisfying heft and feel for many people, myself included. But yes, it's just zinc alloy or diecast metal out of Taiwan so are not really of the highest quality anyway. The Glock is a superb pistol, and very reliable in service. That guy on youtube, Hickok45, is a big fan of the Glock series of pistols and it's great to watch him shoot with them. You're probably right that Polymer may be the way forward, though unliked by many I'm sure.
