I've just remembered that I think I wore a Tempest out. It was the first one I owned, which I bought brand new from Streatham or Fulham Armoury - I can't remember which. This was in 1985 and by 1990 I was onto my next one. The trigger pull became so light that it was unsafe after the tens of thousands of pellets I fired through it. I loved that pistol though and enjoyed every pellet.
