    I have no doubt, as a HW, that it is a very good gun, but it is designed for shooting at well over our 6ft-lbs limit, and primarily aimed at Americans who can own and use a high power air pistol for long range target shooting and pest control. Seems a bit irrelevant here at our legal power levels, especially given its cost. Though other similar pistols from AA, Falcon, Daystate, etc, have found some buyers. So there is a niche.

    And I don't like the Blakes Seven looks of the thing, myself.

    The thing is, it is match pistol accurate with a match pistol trigger for much less money than the match pistols that give comparable performance in those two areas.

    on that basis it is a shooter and can only improve the shooting of anyone who gives it the range time for a proper trial.

    it’s a really good pistol.

    Yes but you were meant to have eaten it.
