    I had one of these before moving to PCP...

    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    I’m amazed no one has mentioned the CP1, single shot, bolt action, CO2 pistol. German design, made in China, to a pretty good standard actually. Magazine version available, but some reported issues. My single shot is more accurate than I am ever likely to be. Around 100 quid.

    And if you want to move up from plinking to competiton at a not too serious level, then I second the recommendation for UBC. Lots of comps, lots of pistols, good bunch of guys. Great fun.

    From personal experience, I can recommend any of the FWB65 and 80, the Diana 10 and 6, the FAS 604 and the pre-2007 early Gamo Compact.

    I agree, I did a little youtube vid on the recoiless FWB's and Diana 10 pistols:

    I heard the early Gamo compacts are great too, yet to get my hands on one.

    I've got a FAS 6004 and a Crosman 2300S. Was lucky enough to buy the 2300S in Walmart in the US for a fraction of the price in the UK.

    In the right hands, both are capable of matching the score of a £1,500+ PCP target pistol.

    I just wish they were my hands

    I had a Steyr LP5 for a while. Lovely shooter. Would recommend. Now replaced by the LP50 but the 5's are still around to get s/h.

    I have a Gamo Compact single stroke pneumatic which I have had for many years and it is still as reliable as ever.

    Santa has just treated me to a new Dan Wesson 715 6" 177 pellet pistol, very nicely put together, looking forward to using it for the first time early in the new year.

    Happy Christmas everyone.
