Hi again
Sounds like the CO2 isn't a bad idea at 30p a cartridge. And the Alfa Sport looks like a nice pistol. But discontinued. So I guess second hand would be the only option in that case.
And yes Nige - I saw the comment about your mate OUCH!!!!
Of course its just making me more confused!!!

The HW40 is a superb pistol...I've taped over the foresight Truglow and removed the rearsight one but have a pistol scope which goes on and of it depending if I'm shooting the UBC Comp or not.....thinking of getting a second one to save this problem...
Webley Nemesis although .22 is also great to shoot once the trigger is set up right.
My Aeron BRNO B96....super pistol and great fun in 5 shot mode, shoot all 5 as fast as you can pull the trigger. I bought 3 extra 5 shot mags so I can load and practice targets without messing about for 20 shots.
Also has a single shot mag for competition so a good all-rounder....
See here for info:

Hope this helps..

Hmmm, the Alpha Proj is still widely available here in Spain..

I can't speak for the UK though.
Oh dear, you're not french are you?
Anyway on this forum it's best to think of the scene from Full Metal Jacket when Gunnery Sargeant Hartman says: 'I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on pistol shooters, rifle shooters, co2, spring, pcp, rimfire, fullbore, match, benchrest, ft or hft. Here you are all equally worthless'.

I imagine the Alpha may have been discontinued in the UK because they won't have sold many at the silly price they had on it. I bought mine from the manufacturer in the Czech Republic. They are still on Czech websites and as Nige says, still available in Spain. Order from there maybe? Both in the EU, but AFAIK you cannot buy on a credit card in the CZ Rep.
I respect Nige's preference for the Alfa (and don't regret buying mine), but I've also used an Aeron and personally I found it superb. There should be quite a few S/H potentially available in the UK. CO2 isn't flavour of the month right now, so a CO2 pistol will cost you less and shoot just as well!!
BTW I believe the 10m world record is still held by a CO2 gun.... .
Walther CP-2 Match, FAS 604 & Tau 7 target pistols, Smith & Wesson 6" & 4" co2 pistol, Crosman 1377,
Baikal IZH 53 pistol, Gamo CFX Royal,177, Umarex SA-10 CO2 pistol.
I'm in a very similar position as the original poster of this thread.
I'm on the look out for alfa, aeron etc second hand, whats the best way to try and locate one?
So far my travels on google have turned up fruitless apart from one alfa.
these are very good cheap 10m target pistols they are also very accurate. They need a moderate effort to cock. All of these pistols when you buy them 2nd hand keep their value pretty well.
Cheers!

I never said Lynne wasnt the original poster?
The only 2 sites I have found are ukgunroom, and guntrader.
I was wondering if there any other sites out there that I have missed.
Thanks
