    recommend me an accurate pellet firing blockback...

    .. I am a bit fussy about accuracy, and reasonable triggers
    .. and I want a blowback as a like the feel.

    Tricky combination ? Feels like it...

    Right now two pistols I have fit the bill: a drulov and a crosman 600, and both are awesome, but both are rather vintage, so I don't want to wear them out !

    Hey Jon
    Interesting point I don't think either of those are blow back in terms of cocking the slide , just semi auto as they recock the trigger . Having had a drulov it picks up the pellet in the mag I have seen a crosman 600 shot but can't remember the action but think not blow back. I guess you are looking for a semi auto some thing ..blow back or not?

    yeah, you are right, they are not really blowback, but they are accurate, good triggers, and "semi"..

    Hence the missing blowback in the collection conundrum. I had a beratta thing (propper blowback) for a while, and whilst it felt nice, accuracy was quite poor.

    Problem with blowback pellet is that the trigger has to index the magazine which in some instances ruins the feel. I have an Sig Sauer X5 which has the potential to be a great gun but the graunching of the trigger when it drags that belt around feels really awful. I say it has potential because I have the KWC version (which they call a 226 rather than an X5), blowback, adjustable sights but BB, which was one third of the cost of the Sig Sauer pellet version but I find it more accurate. The other point with the pellet versions is the lack of the slide lock on empty.
    I haven’t tried a rotary magazine blow back, I assume the trigger feel is better than the belt ones. Of course for a pistol the rotary mag is more realistic in terms of shot count. The BB and belt mags are more like Hollywood action movie guns that never seem to need reloading!

    Accuracy and blowback don't sit together very well Jon. If you want blowback, you will have to compromise quite a bit.

    What would be your accuracy standard and at what range please?

    good question.. an inch at 10 yards feels just about good enough. which would mean in my hands it'd group 2-3" at that same range !

    PS I owe you that list !
