    I'm glad, you are welcome, and if you are only going to go for the one revolver (to start with, lol ), you'd not go far wrong with the Dan Wesson.

    Don't get the Umarex Legends version of the PO8. It has "WW11" in white lettering on the side of it which, imo, makes it look rather silly.

    Buy the non legend one (still full blowback and field strippable) and distress it yourself which is really easy using a magic eraser - cheaper and looks better.

    I have a liking for all of the above (and more) but if I had to choose one classic CO2 clone over others it would be the Umarex P38 with battle worn finish. It looks and feels authentic, has a realistic blowback action, strips similarly to an original and above all, shoots accurately.

    Not heard of a magic eraser- very impressed with the effect you got- where can I get one?

    Thanks for the replies. I went onto the Versandhaus site to see how much cheaper these pistols are than at my inflated local dealer, then I stumbled across the PPK, and the MP40....

    Yep, the more you look the more you end up adding to your 'must have' want list ... Seems then that you are doomed. Welcome to the collecting club.
