BSA Scorpion or HW 45 ?

[Markmelesky]

Agree with that. Have owned a Scorp and 45, read about the others.

I think the 45 can be OK one-handed, though. Bore line is high, but weight is fine (1.15 Kg, which is about 2.5 lbs).

I’ve had a few of the regular Diana 5s. I’d really like a go with the Magnum. I think they might be quite nice.

Try the P5.....It's like a Mod 5 on steroids ! Mine consistently put out 580 fps. with 8gn. pells. Fuuuuun to shoot.

I definitely want to. Just haven’t seen one for sale for ages. Which suggests that not many were sold here and/or owners like them.

Pity they only came in .177”. I wonder if a .22” barrel from a 5G fits? I have a hunch it probably does. That would be 😎.

Hhmm...your barrel switch idea is a thought. currently has one or two P5's up for sale. Search : used air pistols.

I guess that would be EEbay.

So.. I just rebuilt one of my Scorpions. It was putting out under 400 fps. so I opened her up and cleaned, lubed and replaced the buffer and the o ring seal on the piston head, then dropped in a new spring..Man what a difference !.......It's now putting out 540 fps. Also added some nylon washers to eliminate metal to metal. Smooth and really powerful......I was pleasantly surprised. Go Scorpion.....Still looking for one in .22.
