Hi all,
I (love and) collect older air pistols, particularly pre war. Highest Possible, straight grip Webleys, Tells, H28, Benjamin Franklin 177/122, Hubertus etc.
That said I do wonder if I should add the latest tech to my collection. What's the view on this board of the best quality repeater Air Pistol on sale today?? What will be the collectors piece on 20 years? Appreciate views...

P. S. H28R still on my list....

I would like some thoughts on this topic too.
The market for repeating air pistols seems to be either CO2 revolvers disguised as semi-auto firearms, CO2 replica revolvers, semi-auto bb guns, or bolt action guns with a rotary magazine.
The only new-to-buy 'self' repeating pistols I can think of are the Baikal MP-651k and the new Artemis CP400, both of which are non-replica revolvers. (I have excluded the 5-shot match pistols for £1500!).
I want to be wrong about this as I would really like to have a decent choice of air pistols I can blast away with and not have to keep re-cocking....
Too many guns, or not enough time?

The Baikal is surprisingly good for the price. Mine shoots about as well as the Umarex replica pellet guns, despite an originally wonky rear sight.Originally Posted by Modski66

Check out the Aeron B96, Steyr LP50, FWB P58, Drulov DU10.
Of the replica things, Umarex S&W 586/686, preferably 6” barrel. Or CP88. Or maybe Beretta 92. Best of the bunch given today’s offerings of pot-metal BB flingers. But they’ve been on the market for two decades.
Despite what I said about BB flingers, the Baikal Drozd, more a carbine, less a pistol, is undoubtedly worth more more now, and more sought after, than when it was new.
Older stuff: Crosman 600; Crosman 38C/T; Hammerli Rapid/Duell; any Hy-Score repeater.
The last may be most to your taste.
Hope this helps!
Where's his User name?
What about the humble g10 repeater!
