    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!

    The Umarex S&W 586/686 revolvers are capable of .25 calibre conversions. It requires some drilling of both the breech and the mags as well as a custom threaded barrel but it is doable.

    No offence, but why would you want to? My CO2 pistols in 177 push out the pellets less well than any of my old Webley pistols in 177/22. as someone else said, you might as well throw the pellets at the target.
