    Hi,

    Good luck with what would be an extremely expensive quest here in the UK. Although I have both calibres for this pistol, I would certainly go for the .177 given a choice as I find this much more accurate at 10 metres than the .22 calibre.

    Interestingly, I have found this to be true for all spring powered air pistols I have tried with the reverse seeming to be the case with my Co2 powered pistols (Crosman 150, Benjamin 262 etc).

    Regards
    Brian

    Interesting I have noticed the same thing. I’m wondering if the same is true of Haenel 28s, my mint 22, 28 is very inconsistent. Haven’t tested my new 28, .177. I also tend to only want 22 Crosman rifles, just seem better for the pneumatic volume of air.

    In all seriousness, (apart from Ian's digressions) I really like Webley pistols !
    I have a smashing Premier "blued" E model .22 Cal. Boxed and I love it !

    It is a truly noble quest persuing the collection of these magnificent British air pistols, but as there are so many, I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't collect them.
    However, as I attend many Shows, Sales, Fairs etc. and see the many tremendous examples therein, I don't blame anyone from seriously collecting them so I say, Good Luck to anyone wishing to gather as many great air pistols of this famous British airgun manufacturer !

    Go for it Guys !
    “An airgun or two”………
