The Umarex Desert Eagle mentioned above would seem to suit my wants Thanks for the suggestion. It's fairly long and according to youtube, weighty. Long means good distance between rear-sight and fore-sight, weight should help with steadyness when shooting. They are not cheap. But why cumbersome?
A bit of faff is not a bad thing considering these guns use a lot of CO2. Faff would extend the shooting session time. Not wham bam thank you Mam.
For cheap there's the Gamo PT85. A small CO2 blowback rifled pellet pistol with white dot sights. One dealer I spoke to said they don't sell them because of faulty returns. That's why I've not bought one (yet?). I wonder whether that's the real reason. It could well be. You get what you pay for. But I'm not looking for perfection, just a bit of accuracy and fun.

The Umarex Desert Eagle is not self-loading, just a self-cocking blowback that relies on the trigger pull to rotate the magazine, and it's also Umarex
The only thing that fits your bill is the Crosman 600, and I believe Baz has a couple for sale at around £250
I very much doubt you will ever regret buying one
Money no object the Steyr LP5/50 is a seriously impressive bit of kit - I had one with a custom silencer adapter and burr walnut detachable buttstock which did for dozens of rats around the chicken pens way back in the day.
5 shots in a couple of seconds, one of the guns I genuinely regret selling.
I now have a Browning Buckmark rifle in .22lr which scratches the same itch but with a bit more poke
Correct. Semi-auto pistols, that is to say those that chamber the next shot by putting it into the breech, are illegal in the UK
The Crosman, Steyr, and Drulov escape the ban because the pellets fire from the magazine not the breech
A highly technical point, that has caused controversy, because in effect they act as semi-auto
And very nice they are too
Another vote for the Crosman 600. Addictive noisy fun! Reasonably accurate and devastating used for fast fire competitions! (UBC speed challenge springs to mind )

Aeron B96... Very accurate, self-cocking and self indexing 5 shot linear mag.
But like all the pistols mentioned so far, they are not 'blowbacks' in so much as there are no slides flying back like traditional autoloading firearms.
