    It depends what you want it for, but for general back garden tin cans and the like it's excellent. Welcome!

    It does well in our UBC Police shoots.

    Which you should use it for. We have lots of fun, and you can't beat the price it costs us for club membership, range fees, and transport!

    Hi the CP88 is a great little pistol, it's great for back yard plinking, great for Practical Pistol / Iron Plate, great for all the UBC 6 yard competition. it can be used for 10m target work and with some practise you should be keeping all the shots in the black but don't expect tight groups.

    As for power they are around the 2.5 ftlb mark, Muzzle velocity 393 FPS

    If at some point you want to improve the CP88 you can convert it into the 6" competition model without too much hassle.

    Hope this helps

    GREAT service! The bus runs every-minute-on-the minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: except that it runs, usually, only from the 4th Saturday, through the Sunday of the following week.

    This month, it runs from the 5th Saturday, through the Sunday of the following week.

    The bus will pick you up anywhere, and take you to: 1) your back yard 2) your alley 2) your attic 4) your basement 5) any other place your can safely fire a low-powered air pistol at a distance of 6 yards as measured from your toes to the target.

    I ride it regularly. It's safe, clean, and employs courteous drivers.

    Never seen an accident yet!
