I fancy a cheap pistol

for plinking in garden in 22 but which one

for plinking in garden in 22 but which one

multishot ?
power source ?
open sight, or reflex/red dot ?
do you want some power, or just accuracy ?
Noise a concern ?

Good value single shot .22 CO2 is the CP1 or clone - around £50 - £60 Crosman 2240 is also OK if you are using open sights, which makes it harder to silence and maybe a bit noisy for back garden ?
Springer HW45 is great
CO2 revolvers there are dozen to choose from

Yep, give us a bit of a wishlist, RR, so we can narrow it down a bit for you.

With very little to go on, I'd maybe say the 2240 if you don't need multi-shot capability. And for a more "precision" approach the HW40 SSP is available in .22 these days. Self-contained, too.

But then I've always half-fancied the simplicity of the Umarex Buckmark little springer. Apparently very mild shooting and accurate. Think it's .177 only, though.

CP2 is good value
You get a pistol that converts to a carbine ,plus a good silencer for the garden

just targets noise is not a concern

[rapidresponse1]

dont need multi shot tony just a bit of target practice

[rapidresponse1]

thanks for that ginger bud

HW40 never fails to put a smile on my face, light, accurate, good sights, brilliant trigger, rail for accessories....... did I mention trigger? out of the box the trigger is on a par with pistols costing far more

The Beeman equivalent is far cheaper, but has been built to a budget, but if its back garden plinking, and you have the time and tools to fettle the trigger it might be a budget option

ok many thanks for info

[wilkinss77]

HW40
Beeman P17 (HW40 clone, but cheaper)
Ruger MkIV Magnum.

Or if you want CO2 then there are other options.

Hi Jeff, Going back down the decades, a Webley Tempest or Hurricane could be a good choice as they’re pretty accurate or even a Premier if the finances allow.
In addition a BSA Magnum and Scorpion are both good fun. Stretching finances a little and more recent to, a Weihrauch HW45 in .22 is a bit of a cannon!💥

[wilkinss77]

many thanks wilkinss

Forgot to add Webley tempest & hurricane, HW45, Gamo Compact & AF10. The HW45 is one powerful hand cannon though- heavy, loud, smelly (it diesels like hell), kicks like a mule when it recoils & VERY powerful (legal pistol limit powerful). Great fun though!

CP2 kit
Easy accurate quiet cheap if shop carefully



If you want to improve your pistol shooting :

Diana LP8 (much easier than HW45 if going that route)

The new ish 629 S&W thing looks pretty cool
