    Your showing your age there Paul

    This does look like a good pistol, and if it feels as good as the Gamo Compact and is as well made and has a nice trigger like the HW40, then they could be onto a winner, even at the RRP they are asking.
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.

    Actually it is very nice.

    I went to the midland game fair with the old fella and he was very interested in this pistol. The beardy guy from Webley who was overseeing it was excellent. When we arrived in the morning of the first day he had 30 with him, these had gone by the time the old geezer decided to put his hand in his pocket at lunchtime!
    That said he did let us all have a play with the display model. It's great in the hand, very pointable, completely recoilless and seemingly of a very good build quality.
    I've got a significant birthday coming up and I live in hope that the 'bread knife' won't object to another gun in the house!

    It looks like an HW 40 with a base attached to the grip.

    It does, but the key thing about it for me, the Unique Selling Point, is that it is single or multi-pump. If what I've read is to be believed, 1 stroke for around 3 ft.lbs, 2 for about 4.5 and 3 for 5 ft.lbs.

    Multi-pump pistols in the past, like the Crosman, just about get a pellet out of the barrel on one pump, needing at least 2 or 3 to get a usable velocity.

    Interesting. A high-quality multi-stroke pneumatic. I always though of MSP's as toys.

    The Alecto's original guise was as a 'Zoraki' from 'Atak Arms' of Turkey.
