Hello,
With a budget of £300 and a desire to do target shooting if it were my money I'd buy the FAS, they're well made reliable and accurate. It will also hold its money so if you want to upgrade to something more expensive or just sell up you know that you'll get most of your money back.
. The MPL sounds like a great place to start shooting with the pressure of competing. There are also both 'postal' and live comps all over the UK on a regular basis.
. I would suggest maybe calling Peter Friend at Surrey Guns to ask his advice, and to see what he has in stock. He carries a vast array of second hand target pistols and is good to deal with. I picked up my new Morini from him yesterday and can't recommend him enough.
Regards,
Fierynick
