Thanks for the feedback and help. A 1911 sounds pretty cool. But there seem to be loads on the market and I'll have to do some research to try and figure which ones to avoid or go for.

I've also watched some vids and reviews of the CP88/99, Desert Eagle and P30. Some of these seem cool, but I think I'd like something different to my 92AF. And some of these seem to use the same sort of setup. And the price seems a tad high on some.

I like the look of the Makarov from KWC with the blowback. But reviews seem to show it as underpowered and shoots quite low. But it's a real contender.

The Mauser broom handle is a contender too. But there seems a couple of makes and a few flavours. Such a shame we don't get the full auto mode either. Does anyone know if the air soft version can be had in full auto in the UK?

However the front runner that appeals the most is one that surprised me. The Gamo p-25 blowback. I know it's not really a replica, but I like the look and hint of Walther PP about it. And it seems to tick all the other things I want. Price seems good too and build quality. Going to give my local RRD a call to see if they have them.
