All my shooting life i've shot rifles, air, rim fires and when in uniform lots of fun noisey stuff too. But lately, as in the last week or 3 i have become increasingly interested in air pistols. Firstly it was for plinking and now i'm learning about 10 meter olympic rules and anticipating the games with baited breath. I've had 4 pistols in less than a month increasing in quality and accuracy and now find myself hankering after a Rohm Trainer !!
I even found myself dry firing my pistol today to practice my trigger technique.
I thought i'd found my shooting niche, hunting and long range target shooting. Alas no, now its 33ft single handed concentrative frustrating pistol fun !

Pistols (10 metre target of course) rule OK?
It's addictive certainly.

After 15years of soley shooting pellets at stuff through air rifles, I too have succomb to the air pistol bug. Bought a second hand umarex .177 BB and I've already shot my weight in steel through it. Im not sure whether a pellet pistol or bb revolver will be my next investment but I envisage the rifles gathering yet more dust in the near future. Happy shooting everyone!
i know what you mean, but a second hand one may not be far off the rohm. Only saying as the rohm is great gun, but from what u said 4 in a month, it may also not last.....i guess in the long run it may be cheaper. But their are 2nd hand SSP's that will be same sort of price as well mate.

A second hand Feinwerkbau CO2 eg C20 or C25 would be much better than the Rohm (if you can find one). I have a couple of C25s (not for sale).I've had 4 pistols in less than a month increasing in quality and accuracy and now find myself hankering after a Rohm Trainer !!
