HW 40 & 75 ssp nice triggers 40 within budget, FAS 604 good SSP within budget secondhand. My favorite would be a FWB 65 recoiless springer - this was used in world champs up till late 80's within budget s/h I love mine.
Get your eye in and join us in the MPL league postal comp. for the next season starting in a few months time MPL = muscle power league all powered by muscels not co2 or compressed gas.

Hope this starts you thinking

Many thanks George. Indeed much thinking! Out of interest. Did you decide on FWB on opportunistic basis ie it was available or did you try out some of the other pistols you recommend first?
Also with regard to MPLA league, may I ask how this works? I assume you need to be a member of a club to participate ( dependent on eventually purchasing a muscle powered piece of kit of course!).
Many thanks for your help. Simon
