Most Graceful Air Pistol ever produced

[Lakey]

After reading and taking inspiration from the recent thread on air rifles, I thought I would post its logical partner thread on air pistols

For my mind I feel that one of the most graceful air pistols ever produced must be the ultra rare Brown Pneumatic pistol from the USA. To me it is the ultimate in graceful lines.

I have to agree with you. Funny these were built in the US and the only ones I have ever seen for sale have been in the UK. Also gets the award for most unobtainable pistol.

I can see many saying the FWB 65 or the early Walther series starting with LP53, to the LP3. But to me the most graceful pistol ever designed was the Luger. I would have to pick a air pistol that used this form. Here are my Luger inspired pistols. Hard for me not to pick the rather common Haenel 28. Should pick the Tell 3 but can’t do it.

This one is definitely a contender, even though it is a much more modern pistol. I dont know what make or model it is, but you have got to be impressed by the long flowing lines of this gun.Beautiful

Crikey - that is one humdinger of a minger. Ugly as a bag o' bastards.



Now the Crosman Mark 1 is just lovely...

45flint - those Mod. 28s are absolutely stunning. Beautiful lines and exquisite condition. Me is rather jealous.

l have to go along with the above pistols. but for me it's the plain simple lines of the ABAS Major. the thing that spoils the Brown for me is the pumping knob.

Thanks for clearing that up. Do they still produce the model, or it is finished now? Looks like something Robocop ought to be carrying

More than a passing resemblance I'd say.......?

Pre-war Diana Mod 5

I have a better condition one in my collection but I can't find a pic at the moment!

Personally I think the Westley Richards 'Highest possible' pistol is the most graceful ever.



Only kidding!

Actually I think the Tell 3 is hard to beat, or any of the Webley slant-grip pistols.

Air Match 600 so good to shoot!

[45flint]

Wow how can you argue that one!

They can still be ordered apparently. Need to be Robocop to use one in a match
