    A TRUE semi-auto spitting out as fast you like those big 'ol lead .22 pellets...super fun and, in a world blanketed in .177 & BB firers, I reckon the spiritual airgun successor to a 1911.
    Agreed My favourite "fun gun" when I feel like a blast. Shame there is nothing remotely like it out there nowadays.

    Aside from the 600, I have found the Gamo MP9 quite fun...ok its an SMG copy, but still a machine-pistol so, sort of fits the bill. Very accurate for what it is and good for tin can or target.

    Johnny English night many years ago. Barn pitch dark flashing lights and a series of targets to move between and shoot. It was quite fun but an outside observer would probably have had us locked up. The thunderflash at the end was ........well.....loud.

    Sounds fun! Was this a timed "competition"? Which pistol did you use for it?

    Can't remember anything that happened before the thunderflash. I think it was timed , there were sirens and everything. I had a Rohm at the time so probably that.

    Grown men, eh?

    Must have been a great session. Always wanted a Rohm but never got round to it

    Most fun had with a pistol was probably using my S+W 586 for IPAS. Actually having a reason and purpose for the multishot pistols makes them so much more fun, and shooting socially is a gas - much banter was had.
    The Webley Alecto a close 2nd for back garden shooting just for how quiet and accurate it is. Accurate guns are always more fun.
    Good deals with these members

    Since starting this thread I've ordered another alecto and got a crosman 2240. In terms of smiles per hour, the crosman does a great job! Nice, accurate pinker and constantly evolving.

    Got lots more bits on their way already.
