I went for the Alecton in 177. From what i have heard, the 45 is much harder to shoot accurately and you really have to put the effort in. I have bought the pistol for fun and don't want to put in that much hard work
The 45 is the better made pistol and will definately last longer than the Alecto but for the amount I will be shooting, I reckon the Alecto will last long enough. I will be getting a scope fitted also, hopefully this may bring in the groups in a little as I do struggle with the open sights at the longer ranges.
