    Its a little difficult to see where this pistol fits in the scheme of things "pistolwise" ?
    Its a stunning pistol, there's no doubt but is it a Match pistol in the true sense ?
    Very expensive for a "Plinker" I think.

    I'm not sure if there's an inbetween as far as pistols go ?

    Then again , if you have the cash and like it, then why not, go ahead and buy one !

    Hull Cartridge only have .22 in stock at the moment.
    .177 arriving in that 3 weeks I’ve heard a lot about recently.

    To be fair not from Hull.

    I had serial number 00001 for a play, it's as accurate as the very top Steyr LP series match pistols.

    I know, I put it in the hands of the current British air pistol champion and he proved it for me.

    Not as noticeable when looked at from over and behind.

    Like the lead singer in a cover band, say.

    Well said sir !

    People keep babbling on about the price of this pistol and it not being a "match" pistol, well it is superb quality, it shoots superbly well, and the only thing Weihrauch ort to have done imo which they did not, is fitted it with a threaded muzzle adapter instead of having to grub screw the silencer to the muzzle.

    Surprised how comfortable it is to hold which belies its looks. Also a nice sight picture and quite a subdued report.
