Entry level Target Pistol

[Helm]

Hi I have 2 X Walther co2 pistols,these can be found for not much more than a compact there's a cp2 on guntrader for £250....a brand new fire extinguisher is about £23 delivered not too expensive ,they usually come with the filler cap but they are about £30 on e gun.
The grips are better on the later ones (cpm1 my fav) also have an early CP 2 and the diff is the grips,
Not used a fwb yet so can't comment on them..my next step is to join a club and if I get as far as comps then I might treat myself to a new one...
Try an ask on here if something takes your fancy,that's worked for me !
Cheers ian

Tau 7. Very hard to beat.Theyre still made so you can buy them new too if you want. So than you dont have to mess with overhauling like you do with old FWB/Walther etc stuff.
Also, fixed cilinder so its never out of date

Louie,

+1 on the Tau 7.

My Tau 7 Match is (for me) a superb pistol.

60 - 70 shots from a 12g CO₂ caplet.

Spares are easily obtained either from Sureshot here in the UK (https://sureshot-airguns.co.uk/), or direct from the factory.

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

Thank you all for the input, it is seriously appreciated.

Now got to try and find a club near me

And take it from there.

Another for the Tau7

Superbly accurate, Good trigger when set up properly, spares are ridiculously cheap and readily available and they are a nicely balanced pistol,

Earlier CO2 are also good but some are put off by bulk fill (although his is very easy) Spares are getting scarcer for some models however,

Baikal 46m- great pistol but hard to get at a good price now and spares becoming an issue,

Gamo compact - for £100 used an accurate pistol that will certainly get you started,

For £450 you'll not find many PCP's of match quality (but for £250 you'll find a very nice example of a Tau7 that will serve you well and still be worth the same if you later decide to go PCP cos you got hooked ,

Baikals are good, but practically a non-starter as spares are unobtainable and the price is far too high for something you can't repair.

Tau 7's are very good, I own one myself... But I cannot remember the last time I saw a secondhand one, which means you'd probably be looking at a new one which is around £440.

BUT, before spending all that (which you won't get back selling on) - I'd join a club first and see if the sport is for you - because if it is, for just a little more you start to get into secondhand high end pistols and that's where you'll want to be anyway.
