Nice handling and looking pistol.

DA trigger is poor, though can be mastered with practice. SA is very nice.

Sights are stupidly huge and rear sight windage adjustment is annoying, requiring two and a half hands. Which few of us have.

Safety catch is unoriginal to the cartridge gun and inconveniently located. Best ignored and trust safe handling.

Use OK flat-heads. Hobbys, Gecos, Bisley Practice, that kind of thing.

Especially if you use a bit of pellgunoil every 2-3 capsules, I think most CO2s are basically the same. You will sometimes find a gun that seals better or loads more easily with one brand than another, but I think that comes down to trial and error.

Dollies back in the pram, please (lol) and patience as I know how frustrating it can b when waiting for replies regarding a new toy ... P-M an active mod and ask them to move this thread to the pistol sub-section so it is seen by the right people ... For the record, my CP99 liked RWS Hobbies the best, and I found it to be the best all-round pellet firing Co2 plinking pistol that I have ever owned ... That do?
