    .177 Cal. Acvoke Pistol !

    How accurate are the above pistols ?
    I'll be honest, I have a prime condition example but I can't hit a thing with it !
    Or maybe it's just me.

    No, not just you. I didn't recon much to mine for either power or accuracy. Nicely made, nicely finished, just not very good.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    I dropped mine the other day and it hit the floor, I regard it more as conversation piece.
    why is it there are more horses arses in the world than there are horses?

    Hi,

    In defense of the Acvoke, I'm usually happy if I can keep the pellets within the black aiming area of a 10 metre air pistol target with one of these early spring air pistols. Unfortunately, I can't claim this when using the Acvoke, but I can regularly hold the black aiming mark on the PL15 20 yd target which roughly equates to the diameter of a tin can.

    Regards

    Brian

    On reflection I'm probably being a bit unfair on the pistol.
    If I find the time, I'll try a few different pellet brands through it this week and see how I get on !

    I use H&N Match pellets in all of my older air pistols and air rifles although the much cheaper RWS Hobby work OK in some air guns. Must admit I haven't tried Hobby pellets in the Acvoke, but I will give them a try and see how they perform.

    Well....... Took the little beast out briefly today.
    Only had JSB Exacts 4.52 and AA Fields 4.51 and the AA's edged it in grouping.
    I say "grouping"
    3 inch at 8 yards !
    Ah well, room for improvement !

    Trigger was better than I remember it though !

    If it helps, the H&N Match pellets I use have 4.50 skirts. As said earlier, I would be very disappointed if I couldn't at least hold a 5 shot, 2" group at 10 metres with this pistol.
