Gamo PT85 Blowback .
Tried IPAS with it at our club .
Very enjoyable at the range , great fun in the garden .
Hi, I'm new here and I'm on the lookout for a good pistol. I used to own an alecto and even though it was gorgeous, it just seemed... Soulless. This is, of course, just my opinion and I know it's a much loved pistol by many.
I'm looking to get back into the hobby and just wanted a good garden plinker for shooting cans.
I think I'd like to go CO2 and at the moment I'm a little bit in love with the Swiss arms/remington/tanfoglio 1911. Does anyone have any better suggestions to put a smile on my face?

I’ve owned a hw45 in .22 for a while now. I’ve not used it much, but with being in lockdown I’ve been doing some plinking in the back garden with the kids.
Great fun on tin cans and some printed zombie and animal targets. But what a solid, well made bit of kit. Lovely to handle and shoot, I would definitely recommend one.
Spring guns are fun and can be accurate if you work at it - which is where the fun comes from - the reward for the effort you put in.
Gas and PCP guns are generally accurate out of the box but in my opinion get boring very quickly - it's just too easy.
You can't go wrong with any variation of the KWC 1911, full size drop free mag, snappy recoil, lovely weight, all metal construction, what's not to like ? Fun, with a capital 'F'......
One of my favourite shooting challenges is having a competition shooting a 60 mm plastic ball, knocking it down our range until someone is the last person able to hit it at about 40 to 45 yards. Usually there are two of us competing and I like to use my Rohm Twinmaster Top 8 shot PCP pistol. Good fun, and difficult with long grass when the ball keeps hiding.

I currently shoot 2 Alecto pistols, a Mk1 and a Mk5. The reason I shoot them is because the trigger is just so adjustable for my dysfunctional and arthritic fingers. I even had to sell my PP700SA, as I could not physically squeeze the trigger to let the shot off.
Since I'm in lock down for 12 weeks, and only having 20ish yards in the back garden, I'm shooting my pistols more than I have in the past. I shoot my .177 Mk5 mostly, as it has a threaded barrel and with an adaptor I can fit it with a HW moderator, which pretty much reduces the report to sound to the pellet hitting my target. I'd forgotten just how much fun pistols are.

I’ve got a few pistols in my collection and I suppose my Sig Sauer P320 M17 is a fun gun.
