    Its a pity most people are not answering the OP's question. He is asking "what's the most fun you've had with from a pistol". Guys are just saying what is their favourite pistol which we have heard umpteen times before on bbs. Would be good to hear some fun target or competition ideas.

    I think I'm decided on the first 1911 or pt-85 that comes up for sale and some chalk sticks as targets. I really thought I'd love my alecto but it was so clinical. Now it's time for something daft.

    I had a lot of fun with my Baikal MP-651 last year for an Umarex Boys Club rapid fire competition.
    It was five targets, five shots into each target in a specified time; as the MP-651 is my only pistol that can hold that much ammo, (27 bb’s at a push) so that was the pistol to use.

    It came with a daft looking fake magazine ‘front grip’ that clipped onto the front for a ‘scorpion’ machine pistol type of look which went straight back into the box never to be used . However, it proved just the thing to steady the pistol while pulling the trigger in DA while rotating the 8 shot magazine which was being fed from a sprung-loaded bb magazine.

    Trying to use the iron sights was hopeless, so I grafted a length of Picatinny rail onto the side of the grip to hold a small laser; this meant I needed to tighten up the fit of the grip to the pistol as it was quite sloppy and difficult to hold on target. A bit of filler in the right place and an M4 knurled screw into the trigger guard sorted that.

    The next problem was the noise in the garden, so a bit of 40mm black plastic drain pipe became a fat two-chamber silencer, pushed into the end of the increasingly useful front grip.

    The Baikal isn’t my favourite pistol, but I had huge amount of fun creating the set-up to have a go at one quick competition - that I didn’t quite come last in!
    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    The OP was asking for suggestions for a fun gun to use for backyard plinking.....

    If you want, you could start a new thread on the subject of 'some fun target or competition ideas', sounds like a good idea to me, I for one have got a couple of good fun suggestions......

    Shooting improvised practical pistol set ups using Umarex CO2 pistols. In conjunction with my late, great friend Mike, his son Andy and our friend Steve.

    The most fun I've had with a pistol was shooting wasps. Myself and my dad set up a little backstop, smeared on some jam and waited for them to arrive. I remember us sitting for hours laughing as we blasted another black and yellow bastard.

    I used to love setting up a line of extra strong mints and watching them explode but the zoraki was a little overkill

    Baiting mice in the bathroom and shooting them from the box room with my uncles Boys Brigade air gun. Not got a clue what make it was, I was 10 and that was over 40 years ago..
    We used to stick matches in polystyrene blocks and light them by shooting the tip as well.. I've loved air guns ever since..

    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?
