    Cheap plinking pistol

    Hey, looking to have a bit of fun with a pistol, just plinking, looking for something as cheap as possible! Can anyone recommend anything?

    And does anyone know a website for 2nd hand pistols? Thanks!

    Many love the HW 40, a single stroke pneumatic (hence, no recoil, nor need for co2 cartridges). A pretty pistol, very accurate, great trigger.

    Only thing I don't like about it is that I find it hard to hold it steady with one hand because of its light weight.

    Whatever pistol you get, please do check us out at the umarexboysclub: see our posts throughout the Air Pistol section.

    We have comps for 6 yard Bullseye, Snooker, Police Pistol, and we're starting 10 meter Bullseye, and Vintage air rifle and pistol.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Ok thanks, but i'd prefer a multishot if possible, I want something different to my rifle(not single shot) thanks

    Gamo do a number of multishot plinkers, some bb, some pellets.
    PT80 (8shot pellet) P23 (12shot bb or single shot pellet) R-77 revolver

    And of course there are a multitude of Umarex Multishot models.

    Best for second hand pistols etc, is the sales section on here

    Nothing else?

    Been looking at second hand CP88 and NFS 92 (I think! ) Any opinions? Thanks

    MULTIshot?

    Go for the Umarex Smith and Wesson, 586 (blued) or 686 (stainless), 6 inch barrel.

    END of discussion!

    I'm pretty impressed with my Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm co2 pistol, got 4 mags & a Fobus holster for it. I think its a great fun gun.
