Your top ten air pistols

[Tony.T]

Not sure that 10 is enough!- I'll do my best

1) The king- Crosman 2240. A hobby within a hobby. I defy anyone to say 'It's finished'

2) Crosman 600- nothing more to say- anyone into airpistols MUST HAVE one of these. It's the law!

3) Diana\Original's I have and owned

P5
LP6
Mod 10

Still got them

4) CO2-

Webley MKVI (pellet) very good
Colt SAA (pellet) Excellent
P08 (KWC) utterly superb beyond belief
Colt M1911A1 collectors edition- very nicely detailed pistol- and original Colt walnut grips will fit with a little work

5) sorry but I have to go over 10 -

10m pistols-

other than the Mod10 already mentioned- a special nod to:-

FWB 65
Alpha CO2
Baikal mp-46m
FAS604

And a lot more!

I enjoy shooting them all

Oh yeah, and all the older Webleys.

Agree with all the others mentioned but thought I'd add a couple of wildcards. The Gamo Center is a cheap, accurate underlever spring pistol which is lovely to shoot.
Also the SMK XS26 pistol is way more accurate than it ought to be and great fun as it's full power

I can’t believe that no one has mentioned Falcon or EB20?!? (Unless I’m being blind???). Two great pistols. I was rather taken with the SW586. It was a hand-me-down and I thought it would be a ‘toy’ when I took it on - but it ain’t. The Twinmaster Sport is a good entry level target shooter, without breaking the bank. I rather fancy a HW45 and a Alfa Proj next...and yes, air pistols are great collector pieces without getting busted by her-in-doors lol

You are correct, I have tried a Benjamin EB20; very nice with the compact appearance of a Webley Senior, with the convenience of a CO2 bolt action Crosman, but with a nicer trigger (which is not difficult ).

[Geezer]

Not trying to do a top ten, because it's too hard, but:

You have to have a classic Webley. Because: reasons. For me, toss-up between a nice Senior and an early Premier or something like an early straight-grip target.

Generic 'sporting" springers: BSA Scorpion. Diana model 5/LP5. Diana LP5M. HW45. Near miss: Competa Indian.

CO2 single shots: almost any (the Crosman/Benji/Sheridan guns are all a bit the same and share the same poor grip/trigger/sights issues).

CO2 non-replicas: Crosman 600. And those Drulov "semi auto" things.

CO2 replicas: CP88. And 5/686.

SSP non-match: HW40. Honourable mentions: Nemesis, HW75.

SSP match: FAS604. Honourable mentions: Air Match, Baikal 64, Daisy 717/747/787.

Match springers: FWB 65, 80. Diana 10. Honourable mention: Diana 6/6G/6M.

PCP: no idea, don't do that. Harper Wolf? Daystate?

Junk: all IGI Gun Toys (RO71,72, etc). G10. Gats. Etc.

I picked up a Webley nemesis the other day (GB made!) and after a clean up and lube, it’s running rather nicely. Not the most powerful air pistol out there, but a real joy to shoot!
