    3 of my top 5 pistols and one possible contender feature in this one so I need to pick the 5th pistol before I narrate this episode.

    So far my Top 5 air pistols of all time are (in no particular order and for various reasons):

    Webley Hurricane (with Beeman target grips)
    FB Record LP2
    Crosman 600
    FWB90

    And contenders for the fifth spot are:
    Webley Tempest (best plinking pistol of all time IMO)
    Daisy 747 (a great SSP plinker)
    Senior (best made pistol ever, but not my favourite shooter)

    What do you all recon?
    And what would be other people’s top 5 pistols?

    Cheers,
    Matt
    Hi Matt
    Missing from your list is Walther LPM1, it’s a Walther it’s an SSP and having got both I would say it’s better than the FWB 100, bit shorter and less like pointing a stick ;-)

    Hi,
    Yes I’ve shot an LPM1, and it’s built to Walther’s usual quality, but the styling is a bit ‘futuristic’ for me.

    So futuristic in fact that they used it as a basis for a Blaster in one of the Star Wars movies:

    Great guns though.
    Would love to get a Pardini K58, which was also based on the FWB100.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    No Gat

    I'm good with a FWB 65. A Webley. A Crossman 600, CO2. A pump??? A Gat.

    Don't know your criteria, so all time best could just be how may of a design/style sold.
