I can fully recommend this pistol in 177 pellet form it is powerfull and really accurate it is a heavy frame revolver like the 44 magnum.I used to shoot my friends model 66 when I was in a gun club so I know what the real thing is like.I liked it so much that I bought a 6 inch barrel for it mine being a 4 inch barrel and had to buy one from the usa because it was only available in blued finish in the uk.
