Help me scratch the itch please

My WW2 suggestion: The Battlefield Webley MK.VI. It is wonderful. You'd not regret it in either BB or pellet.

My Western suggestion is the Schofield. Again it is wonderful and you'd not regret it in either a BB or pellet.

The above two have the same mechanics and take the same cartridges. I have one of each, and both, as stated, are truly fantastic.

The Colt SAA Peacemaker is a good looking replica gun, but the loading/unloading system truly gets on my nerves after about half an hour.

The Dan Wesson 2.5" barrel BB revolver is the dogs danglies, too. however (got one of them as well), and is possibly my favourite? Hope this all helps?

It does indeed help, thanks a lot. I’d not even considered the Dan Wesson, but I’ve just had a look. I like it a lot...!

The KWC P08 is astonishingly good. A superb and accurate replica even down to field stripping. With good quality BB's it's capable of acceptably decent accuracy- as long as you do your bit

To be fair the SAA and MK VI are also very good in pellet guise. Another to look at, but more modern, are the KWC Tanfoglio competition pistols if you want to get involved in IPAS or IPSC practical shooting. If you want to stick with 'classics' then the Colt 1911A1 replica is very good indeed. Very well made and again can be quite accurate, the best thing is that it only refers to Colt on the slide. It's also easy to fit genuine walnut grips to it if you want.

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?

Oh thanks for that- more expense coming up....

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....
