Help choosing a spring Pistol for 10m target shooting

[EricP]

I wouldn’t recommend the Hatsan 25, I had one. Physically very heavy, needed the cocking aid, high recoil. Traded it in for a Baikal 53, which is my wife’s pistol. The Buckmark has a following and can be good, and there is the Gamo P-900.

The Buckmark can be sorted by a tune up and trigger work, easy to cock and minimal recoil.

Why is a single pump not a viable option for you?

A Beeman P17, which is a copy of the Hw40, is priced low and gives better performance than all cheap spring pistols.

100% agree if you can find a s/hand hw40 you are sorted target accuracy recoiless and decent trigger . Also lighter than a spring pistol.

I thoroughly reccomend my gamo af10..single stroke pneumatic reasonable trigger spits out pellets dead accurate or runs lead BBs from its mag and even these I find really accurate out of the rifled barrel. Currently £109 new and I think that is a bargain. Bought mine circa 30 years ago still going fine no services no issues 😲

P17 is surprisingly good

Webley Tempest or Premier in .177. You should be able to buy one in good working order for less than a hundred pounds. Tunable and will last more than a lifetime. You can learn to shoot pistol with it. If you sell it, you will get your money back.
