I want to purchase one, can anyone recommend a good place where I can purchase one in the UK? Also which pistol do you recommend? I want a powerful one but fairly cheap too, no more that £150. Am I asking too much?

I want to purchase one, can anyone recommend a good place where I can purchase one in the UK? Also which pistol do you recommend? I want a powerful one but fairly cheap too, no more that £150. Am I asking too much? No, you're not asking too much, well not by a great deal anyway. 150 pounds will buy you most of the CO2 pistols available in UK. THe S&W revolver is getting good reviews and, like others here, I really like my CP88, 6 silver finish in my case. None of the multi-shot models come particularly close to the 6ftlb legal limit, most not over half that, but they have plenty of power for informal target shooting. They aren't accurate enough for formal target shooting but plenty accurate enough for satisfying fun shooting. Having to feed them CO2 cartridges as well as pellets makes them a bit more expensive to run, about 1 pound per CO2 cartridge from which I get about 70 shots in the CP88. That makes it over 2p per shot as opposed to 0.5p for a spring type pistol. That's the extra you pay for the extra fun of rapid fire, plus of course the fact that the pistol will cost you about double what a good single shot spring pistol will. Hope I haven't put you off, CO2 pistols are great fun and I wish they had been available for home practise when I used to shoot full bore pistol competition. Just as long as you consider the disadvantages as well.

Thank you for your adivice, no you haven't put me off at all, will be looking out for one do you know anywhere in the UK i can buy one from, or a webb site which I can check out? Look in any of the airgun mags or Gun Mart, or look in the yellow pages under shooting or gunsmiths. CO2 guns have become so popular that most gun shops sell them now. If it is a precision target pistol you want try www.edgar-brothers.demon.co.uk, they have the Drulov target pistol which is phenomenal but VERY expensive. Very few gun shops advertise web sites or even e-mail addresses, maybe it is an area that is somewhat behind others in getting on-line.
