    Exclamation Don't sell your Dan Wesson 2.5" Barrel BB Revolvers !!!

    .
    Because I did to raise pennies for other stuff just before Christmas, regretted it the second the buyer p-m'd me to thank me upon said pistol's safe arrival with him, been agonising with separation anxiety ever since, so have just been out and bought another for £20 more than I sold mine for (after post). Here then endeth my cursory tale, the moral of which is not so much think before you buy, but think before you sell !!!

    Yep, empathy to you, too, but at least my longing is now quashed.

    Yes the CP99C is a tactile little pistol. A leaky one with three mags and case in sales section if you fancy a challenge.

    If you do sell your DW replace it with their new 715 2.5. Pellet firer.
    Excellent revolver.

    I still feel guilty!

    I am really pleased you are sorted now. I will second gingernuts comments on the 715 though, you feel the difference upon holding it.

    I like the moral of your tale. However, I've never sold a gun thus no thought required.

    Don't my friend. If nothing else am pleased my last one, as sold (to you ), went to such a good home. Besides, all is well that ends well, and as for me being £20 down? It matters not, as is a cheap price to pay for learning such a valuable lesson ... Gonna try to follow your M.O. from now on though, and try to only be a buyer, not a seller (lol ). Atvb: G.

    I've got 2 of them boxed up and ready for sale! As much as I love them I need to thin down my collection.

    I bought some 715 shells for my 2.5 inch DW bb revolver. They work really well whilst boosting power and giving excellent accuracy with aa express/ Crosman boxed prems ☺

    Duly noted and a set of six added to my next Pellpax shopping spree. Thanks for the heads-up.

    You're right, I am tempted to keep one but I need to trim down massively on what I have.

    The pesky things just feel so right in the hand.
