Hi Neil, good choice. It is one of the heaviest pistols and a bit like the Marmite syndrome. I have a silver one with 177 & 22 barrels, it's a friggin' beaut. I've fitted a red dot sight as the eyes ain't as young as they used to be. Maybe see if your buddy will let you 'try before you buy'. Price wise? I think they're about £225 new, so if it's in the good condition you describe maybe 160 to 180. Good luck Phil
