What's the most fun you've had from a pistol?

[BigEars]

Sounds fun! Was this a timed "competition"? Which pistol did you use for it?

Can't remember anything that happened before the thunderflash. I think it was timed , there were sirens and everything. I had a Rohm at the time so probably that.

Grown men, eh?

Must have been a great session. Always wanted a Rohm but never got round to it

Most fun had with a pistol was probably using my S+W 586 for IPAS. Actually having a reason and purpose for the multishot pistols makes them so much more fun, and shooting socially is a gas - much banter was had.
The Webley Alecto a close 2nd for back garden shooting just for how quiet and accurate it is. Accurate guns are always more fun.

Since starting this thread I've ordered another alecto and got a crosman 2240. In terms of smiles per hour, the crosman does a great job! Nice, accurate pinker and constantly evolving.

Got lots more bits on their way already.

Looking good! What's the fore-end mount you have there?
I have more fun building and tinkering with crosmans than I do shooting them
About time I started another 2240 project I think...

Shooting spent shotgun shells with my new to me, .22 Webley Alecto using open sights. I see you've already had the pleasure though...

However, there's nothing like hitting something like a shotgun shell slightly hidden behind a spinner target, or layed flat like a 3/4 inch target and having them ping off in random directions, made me feel like a shooting god! I also made various reactive targets using fun snaps and paper caps concertina'd and sellotaped to old bits of hardboard.

Brilliant fun!!!

It's a 3d printed one from that 'orrible Internet auction site. I'm hopefully fitting the longer steel breech tonight which should suit it better.

Most fun from a pistol has to be the Crosman 600 when it goes full auto, the only problem being you don't know exactly where the pellets are going, as it catches you unawares.

The 2240's are great, easy to customise and very accurate. Only problem is its so easy to spend more on bits than the original cost of the gun. Mine is now made into a short CAR style carbine to teach my daughter to shoot. Missing the pistol so might get another soon. I have an HW40 which is my favourite little plinker, but the crosmanitis is still everpresent.
Enjoy your new aquisitions.

Ha ha, I've gone the other way! I'm enjoying the 1911 that much in debating selling my 2240 to find another!

I had a 1911 loved it but had problems with sticking pellets.
