You're welcome.

Me and Jason really like this pistol and reckon these will sell big time.

Regards

Thanks Pad.
I do like an air pistol that isnt a replica.

Looks like a buy.

Yes as much as I like my replicas. There is also something really nice of a proper looking Air Pistol. And this ticks the right boxes.

Cool post Paddy
Ghastly in my eyes...but if they do come in at that price point/power level, then I suspect sales of the equally horrific HW44 will get a bloody nose.
The rifle version looks like it smacked on every branch of the ugly tree when it fell off
But I would agree its really nice to see something that is not a replica brought to market, even if it's not to my taste - so well done Umarex

Hi Harvey.

Thanks, yes it is not going to be liked by everyone. But as you say it is nice that it isn't a replica.

Regards
Paddy

OOps! I rather like it That front rail just begs for a foregrip

I think its the 'orrible thin plastic butt stock that offends my peepers
It looks like theres an end cap at the rear - a nice, well made straight pull stock to go on there would have looked much better and could be up-sold as a quality accessory instead of something that looks like it's been left a bit close to the fire

Maybe this will end up being a new 2240?

Agreed

Nah, that would be a pain swapping to the pump-grip for every shot...

But if the foregrip was part of the pump-grip!

Maybe.

But a damn sight better looking than the HW44.

But you do also like air pistols that are replicas!
