    Which co2 Pistol?

    Right all you experts out there, im thinking of getting myself a pistol for some plinking fun. I do alot of serious shooting with my rifle and would like a pistol for some more relaxed shooting. I want to the pistol to be as follows:

    co2 powered

    shoots close to the legal power limit

    one to which a scope can be fixed

    I know nothing at all about pistols so any suggestions along those lines would be great. thanx

    Funnily enough I have a Crooked Barn 2240 that I bought new from the States and thought I'd never want to sell but tastes change and I very rarely pick it up now....
    It now has blue grips...if you're interested, drop me a PM....

    I also have a 2240, its a good gun but I do find the power drop off a bit annoying after the first 10 shots or so.

    I prefer not to total it up in case the wife sees the bottom line....
    The basic pistol is a Crooked Barn UK spec. 2240 fettled by Jim in the good old US of A...an absolute dream to shoot and very quiet, I know I'll regret selling it but I've got so many other pistols I want to try....

    If it`s a fun plinker you`re after, get a Makarov MP654K ...... they`re head & shoulders better than anything else on the market.

    Got to be honest as much as i love my Umarex Guns, the 2240 is the way to go.
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.

    I got them from Andy J in a swap but think they could have come from here:
