Has anyone used an SMK CP1 Co2 pistol?

Thanks all!

The LOV looks good, and found this variant of the CO which may just get my vote if only for its cost and the fact that the wooden grip can be worked more easily than plastic

I have a couple of CP1s and think they are great value for money, but I only use them for HFT.
If you are going to modify the grip, another BBS member suggested Milliput which is a two-part epoxy "clay". I've used it on mine and would recommend highly.

I also used the Lov21 Pistol, very consistent, but a bit muzzle light so i added some stick on wheel balance weights which made it easier to hold on target, trigger weight was not to heavy, so a good starter pistol. ...mike...

Ok - so after reading all the positive things about the Lov 21 I decided to go ahead and buy one, just to see if I could use it a base to make 10m starter pistol. Unfortunately Sureshot have sold out and not sure if they will get any more in (saying they need to order 100)

I then tried AFG, Czech Republic, listed at EU88 but won't send to uk.

So, any suggestions where these might be available?

Try City Air Weapons...

Whether they have any in stock is another matter!

Thanks for that - I've sent them an email.

I've got a CP1 in .25, got it second hand off the Internet, best £110 I ever spent.

The previous owner had upgraded the trigger and included a red dot but I put a hawke unit on instead.

I only use it for 6 yard plinking in the garden, quite accurate for what it is, very capable hitting bottle tops and excellent on co2 consumption getting up to 150 shots on a good day.

Personally it's a keeper...

Ok guys - My Lov 21 arrived yesterday. First impressions - it's pretty basic, lot of plastic but it functions ok. I tried it clamped in a workmate at 10m, the only wadcutter pellets on hand were Hobby. Three consecutive 5 shot groups c - c were 28mm, 21mm, 33mm. The holes showed evidence of a little pellet yawing, although I didn't run any through the crony there was plenty of power to cut clean holes.


So, the workmate isn't too solid, it was outside and a bit windy and not tried a selection of pellets so was quite pleased with the result. I did try my Walther CP2 at the same time and groups were a bit sloppy at around 10mm.


Planned work when time permits will be, improve the sights, trigger, weight and balance, palm shelf, smooth out the rough edges and take it from there. Some work for the 3d printer I think.
