    I'll report back when I have it.

    God, isn't two weeks an awful long time No patience me.

    If the .22 pumps up near the limit as well, it should be a good can blaster.

    If anyone is still in any doubt about how good this pistol is, don't be. Just buy one - you won't regret it. It's as ugly as sin but sits in the hand well, is superbly balanced and the trigger is waaaay superior to the Gamo Compact - even after fettling.

    This is a very capable gun. I shot a 6yd card with it and was well in the black both single and double-handed on both targets. I can't tell you what I scored because Brian snaffled my card to take back to show Webley!

    The stippled polymer grips are very comfortable and feel similar to the surface of the CP99, although it fits the hand much better than the Umarex and the palm shelf is adjustable.

    I'll be chopping my Compact in for one. I could keep the Compact, but I would'nt shoot it while I had the Alecto - it really is that good.

    Stand by for a surge of second hand Gamo Compacts in the sales section once the Alecto hits the shops, I can see mine heading that way.

    I like the Alecto and will be buying one but I will not be getting rid of my Compact just yet, it depends how you fettle a compact how good the trigger gets, it can get really good, clean and crisp with a lovely 1st stage and zero 2nd stage creep.
    If anyone's selling a Compact cheap I'd be interested in another for a project
    Regards,
    Nick
