    Been mainly shooting rifles of late. I go thru spells of what I'm shooting. My CO2 pistols are kept for warmer weather. My old Wobbley pistols I'm more likely to post topics on in the 'collectables' section.
    Currently I'm in a vintage underlever phase.

    Bru
    Webley Mk3 x2, Falcon & Junior rifles, HW35x2, AirSporter x2, Gold Star, Meteors x2, Diana 25. SMK B19, Webley Senior, Premier, Hurricane x 2, Tempest, Dan Wesson 8", Crosman 3576, Legends PO8.

    Given the other options on here (General, Collectables for older stuff, Target for target people) and that other forums are available, I do wonder about the future of this section.

    The rationale used to be to stop interesting/important/useful pistol posts on General going unseen because they got buried below the usual mostly rifle-based traffic.

    But is putting them in here, where very few people seem to look these days, actually worse?

    No. If you're particularly interested in pistols why not have this page book-marked?

    I look here regularly and yes, the interesting stuff does stay around longer for people who look here less often to see. It works.

    I like my air rifle (just the one now) but no longer have a serious use for it. My two air pistols with their lower power are much easier to use regularly, the regularity of being able to shoot them indoors has brought my skill level up from crap to passable.

    I think people browse but don't post. I am more into the classics so use the collectibles section more. I do keep my eyes on this though, in case anything that interests me is posted. I am much more of a pistol user and collector than I am with rifles

    No one has posted because pistols are pointless

    Au contraire, 5.5 FtLb pistols are highly pointable and have their uses as well as their leisure capability!

    This section of the forum is used. look at the number of posts compared to other sections.

    Rifles do actually have their uses, the longer barrels assist in removing constipation blockages better than pistols do.
