The Alecto is a good pistol, but I still prefer my Compact. I can alter the wooden grip to suit me, and the trigger on mine is very predictable, whereas the Alecto is smooth, but too creepy for my taste. I'd prefer not to have a safety on a target pistol as well.

On the Compact you can alter the width of the rear sight, which is the 1st thing I looked for on the Alecto.

I think the Compact looks like a proper target pistol, and they're easy to take apart as well.

When I saw the Alecto I thought it might kill off the Compact, which I think would be a shame. I do think Gamo need to drop the price of the Compact if they are to stay on the market.

If you don't need the money, I'd hang onto your Compacts as I think they are designed for different purposes.
