Vintage pistol performance table

[ptdunk]

May be of interest, 14 pistols tested for accuracy, power and usability.
Different pistols prefer different pellets so fps/ftlbs vary, all in .177 and pistols serviced and in good working order.

Accuracy: 5 shots standing, two handed unsupported at 10yds. Scored out of 50 by standard 10m pistol target transparent overlay, centralised for the 5 shot group.

Usability obviously subjective.

That might be the most interesting post I've seen this year!
Thanks for the information.

Thank you Matt for keeping a record of your results. I have checked dozens of pistols over the years while completing repairs but never thought of commiting all my findings to paper. I do agree with your findings on the pre-war slant gripped MK 1 Webley as I recentlly got one F.O.C. in the very collectable Webley case I sold to a very well known member on here. The Webley looked very rough but I refinished it and was very surprised at its performance, the best of any Webley pistol I have owned. I would like to see the Tell 2, Tell 3, Haenel 100, Haenel 26 and Haenel 28 added to the list if ever possible. I have memories of testing these.
