    Got lots more bits on their way already.
    The 2240's are great, easy to customise and very accurate. Only problem is its so easy to spend more on bits than the original cost of the gun. Mine is now made into a short CAR style carbine to teach my daughter to shoot. Missing the pistol so might get another soon. I have an HW40 which is my favourite little plinker, but the crosmanitis is still everpresent.
    Enjoy your new aquisitions.

    Ha ha, I've gone the other way! I'm enjoying the 1911 that much in debating selling my 2240 to find another!

    I had a 1911 loved it but had problems with sticking pellets.

    I've found mine likes ASG blaster plastic bb's. They are great, 440 fps too! Just ordered the Springfield XDM, full blowback bb guns are a bit addictive!

    IPAS at LVAGC and others, back in the day we used to get 40-50 people turn up for major comps.

    Umarex pistols were the main stay many of them modified. My favourite was a S&W PPC 1500 Never did get a 'sub 3' badge

    Crosmans have given me the most joy.

    The 600 and 451 are fun to blaze away with but I rather like the early SA6s which I revalved for better Powerlet to valve seal performance..22 Crosman dust can slugs are the food for these old guns!Way back I got Arvo's quick/fancy draw book(published by Daisy for kids using their funny wee BB-knocking pistol). Surprising what he can teach a kid.Just watch Randolph Scott out-draw Lee Marvin in one old flick!

    Best fun with a pistol?
    When I was a kid in the '70's, plinking away at whatever made a noise with a tin grip Junior or Mk 1 Webley. Had free run of a mate's farm.
    More recently, emptying several mags worth rapid fire with a Crosman 357-6, can mangling or windfall apple shredding.
    Webley Mk3 x2, Falcon & Junior rifles, HW35x2, AirSporter x2, Gold Star, Meteors x2, Diana 25. SMK B19, Webley Senior, Premier, Hurricane x 2, Tempest, Dan Wesson 8", Crosman 3576, Legends PO8.
