Depends on the mood but if push came to shove, the Webley Senior or Premier take some beating.
John
Diana LP5 (any variant)
BSA Scorpion
HW70
HW45
Gamo Center/Falcon
Webley Senior/Premier
Webley Hurricane/Tempest
Something else (specify on thread, please)
Not a 10M match gun. Not a pop-out, smoothbore, or BB. Just a good honest gun that will shoot decent groups on paper but is equally at home knocking over cans.

My top three, in order, are the Diana, the Senior/Premier, and the Scorpion.
If you can get a good zero: Webley Tempest....compact, powerful and very pointable.
If you can’t get a good zero on the Tempest: Webley Hurricane, bit bigger but great sights.
.177 of course
Matt
The Harrington Gat ......most of us must've used one growing up
them there springer's are soooooo addictive
BSA Scorpion for me.
Les..
BSA Scorpion everyday for an all rounder.
Always on the look out for Brum / Venom - Webley Longbow / Tommie rifles and parts.
Was a hard choice as i like them all but the diana mod 5 for me its a very accurate well made pistol.
Dave.
Gotta be Milbro Cougar for me because they are a little bit different [to shoot as well]
Early post war,Webley Junior's with plum coloured frames are my favourite spring pistols.

I guess for anyone growing up in the uk “air pistol” pretty much meant one of the Webley models.
I think my favourite is a slant grip senior
I was trying to think of something cleverer but tbh I think I’ll just stick with that
Morally flawed
Slant grip Senior by a nose. Compact, extremely easy to work on, feels like a firearm. British as yer boot.
HW45 is the better shooter but it's a brick, and needed some work doing (TBT kit and a coil off the spring transformed it) to reach full potential.
Mod 6 (etc) and FWB65 are probably better pistols than either but are they 'general purpose'?
Walther LP53 could be a contender?
HW70 was much less good than I expected it to be.
Still not shot a Scorpion.
BSA Magnum 240 could have been up there but for another year or so in R+D. What a waste.
Good deals with these members
