    Just get a .20 barrel, takes minutes to change calibre.

    Kindest regards

    Also look out for the .25 barrel.
    Waste of time on the 45 but still nice to have the full set

    Ah, the problem with this from the collector's point of view seems to be that the gun's markings don't match the barrel, which they all tend to want.
    I've even come across a problem where someone sold a gun on here described as a .20" but the gun was actually stamped as a .177" but had a .20" barrel fitted.

    For my own use it wouldn't matter to me about the mismatch, but if I was trying to collect a set of three in all finishes it would be important.



    All the best Mick

    Yep. And a fine excuse to squeeze more little pistols into the cabinet!. Plus, if you were having a comparison session and switching between guns, no time lost switching barrels to interrupt play.
