Hi Rob
Please post a Piccie of a Birmingham made Tempest.
I have the Hurricane and want to see the difference. This is regarding a post by someone previously.

They are basically exactly the same, the Tempest has a slightly shorter barrel than the Hurricane, and a much simpler rearsight, adjusted by loosening a screw and manually moving the sightm then retightening. The rear of the Tempest body is cut short where it extends back under the rearsight on the Hurricane. The Tempest has no hood over the foresight.
Apart from that most of the parts are common between the two.

HW45 in .22 Mine has been fantastic since I bought it new in january, have put over 2500 pellets through it without any kind of malfunction, it's powerful, accurate and well built.

I've got a TAU 7 and I'm more than happy with that, but the only other pistol I would consider is the FWB65. I've never handled one, but if it functions anywhere nearly as well as the FWB300S it must be deserving of its reputation.
If I had to choose one from my collection, it'd have to be the Webley MK1 .22 which my dad gave me last year. He let me use it when I was a kid, and it's still in near mint condition.
Apart from that one, which is mostly 'cause it was my dad's, I'd choose the Gamo Compact. It's cheap to run, accurate, and it's easy to take apart for fiddling with![]()
