IS without doubt a great pistol to shoot and is one that responds very very well indeed to good technique.....I owned an ALECTO for some time and it was clinical,it took some time to fettle all the bits that could be adjusted but when this was done the pistol was sooo accurate and forgiving of dodgy technique with it.....that is why it had to go because there was little challenge in shooting it.... and SWMBO stated one pistol only so it had to be a Black Star in .177 and this pistol is hard to put down......but recently she learned a pal sold me a brand new Brocock Grand Prix 6 for ten bob cw Hawke red dot and who was I no to help him out!!!! Ahem..cough..splutter!!!Anyway the new toy is for another thread.....meantime enjoy the agony of selecting a pistolatb
