My neighbour has this for sale. Very good condition with custom ergo grips. https://photos.app.goo.gl/RYWGYa1xgjFVJwyd7

Thanks for the info Chaps, I will be buying the airgun mag probably anyway so guaranteed something of interest this month. I will eventually pick one up just for the novelty of them.
The Chinese underlever pistol-I knew it existed! I do wonder what that beast is like? It seems that all the interesting stuff in China avoids our shores!

The Falcon’s grip is, for my fairly normal hand, far too chunky. The Center’s is much better. As is the anatomical one on the rare Target version.

I've had both in the past.
As has been said they share the same action.
The Falcon has an all plastic handle and the Centre has an angle adjustable anatomical grip and is in my opinion far, far better.
If I recall correctly the rear sight on the Centre is better too.
The trigger is adjustable after a fashion, but I think it's only a sear interlock adjustment and it's easy to over-adjust them so that they go off on their own and damage the sears.
The Centre was sold as an entry level paper puncher and it is very accurate in the right hands - I wouldn't hesitate to buy if you can find one.

The Chinese one is a curio, usual issues - wobbly sights, low power and an awful, horrible trigger (the one I had was at least).

yeah, centres are good little guns.. I learned to shoot with one. Great trigger for a moderately priced springer, and accurate too. Also the loading mech is very safe, and the underlever makes for a well balanced, neutral feel in the hand - very important with a pistol.

I agree the Geezer - the falcon grip isn't great. Go for the centre, and budget around £60-£70. I still have one

Yes I think that is next on my list though this month I bust my budget with a .22 Nemesis, a Webley Junior and a C02 Walther.... next month I may try for a Gamo pistol or a BSA Cadet Major.... usually something turns up to knock me off course though!

I must admit I've always preferred the Falcon to the Center. Somehow its all plastic streamlined profile evokes the 1980s far more to me than the Center ever did. It just looks more stylish in comparison, even though it creaks or maybe the creaking is all part of the attraction?

If you are interested in taking a punt on the Chinese version, I have just noticed that Okehampton Guns are listing one on their website, priced at £60, reduced from £90.. New but shop-soiled. Down in Devon though, unfortunately.
