Crossman 2240 is a good fit to your requirements and budget but is .22 (but they shoot well with .22 hobbies that are pretty cheap), the 1377 is another good choice.
I think 6 yards or 10 metres are "official" distances.
Usually a rifle shooter and in fact I just sold my only pistol, a Gamo AF10, which I had much fun with when living and working in Spain.
Oddly I am now craving a pistol and envisage little target shooting sessions with family and friends. So here are my requirements, what do you suggest:
.177, cheaper ammo
Compact, not too heavy but solid and attractive (I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere)
Break barrel or CO2
Reasonably accurate with open sights
Good trigger
Max £80
Tall order ? I look forward to your thoughts
also what is the right range for pistol targets 6 or 10 metres ?
Many thanks
Steve

If it's for target shooting then go .177 , comps are 6yard and 10 mtr although we also do a 20 yarder comp at our club.
CP1 or CP1-M from Poland.

£80ish is not much for a new gun, including those mentioned. I'd avoid most of the Sino-Turkish stuff, though the "Browning" BuckMark gets good reviews. As does the "Ruger" Somethingorother.
Used, you might pick up for £80, though in less than perfect condition:
- BSA Scorpion (but too big);
- Webley Hurricane/Tempest/Mark1/crummy late alloy Premier;
- Diana/"Original" Model 5/5G;
- (multi-pump): Crosman 1377, Benjamin HB17.
I myself would pick the Hurricane or Diana if I was only going to own one and the Scorp was judged too big. Forced to pick one, it would (just) be the Diana 5. But it's very close and I might think differently tomorrow.
You appear not to want an SSP, but a new Beeman P17 or other HW40 clone is pretty good, and cheap; as would be a used HW40, Webley Nemesis, or, returning full circle, a Gamo PR15/PR45/AF10.
In Your price range,
Break Barrel, Hatsan Model 25, or pneumatic and cheaper yet a Beeman P17

Seems like it is less than £50, can that be right ?
has anyone here bought from this Polish shop successfully ?
thanks for all advice folks

An HW40 can be had for £100 new and is an accurate single stroke pneumatic pistol. No need to buy any c02 bulbs, just ammo. You might find one second hand in the sales section now and then for less.
