    I have no idea of the power capabilities, as I've never fitted it.
    ...Harper.

    Frankly speaking, 0.25" in a pistol at UK limits you might as well throw the pellets at the target
    Pardon?

    Going by the quality of it, you may well be correct as it is the sort of thing Steve used to make, but I didn't buy it from him.

    The Trophy is made in .25.
    I have held but not shot a Harper Wolf in .25.

    My Wolf is .22 and with a light .25 pellet I don't see why the bigger calibre would not be fun.

    Wish I had bought the .25 Wolf when I had the chance.

    Don't get me wrong .22-.25 pistols are fun to shoot..for about 10 mins, then the pronounced trajectory gets annoying

    After a stressful week I require air pistols that blow holes in baked bean cans and/or send them flying.
    Not shoot little holes in target cards.

    Although I do have that type as well.

    Way back when I fired a Harper converted Saxby-Palmer Orion Six TAC revolver. I got all six pellets into a 1/2" circle two-handed at 10m. It was totally cool, it even recoilled a little like a rimfire loaded with .22 Short.

    The velocity seemed fine, when I asked the owner there was some evasion but finally I got the impression that it was fine because it was putting out 9 fpe!
