what is the best non CO2 pistol

[Phantom 631]

I am getting the HW45 now. having it for my birthday off OH . cant wait to try it out. I want to get a scope for it too

 

You better get your other half to give you some "Wrist Excercise" then cus its a gun and a half in weight and in kick!!

 

I would also suggest you get one of the 'Hogue' type grips to slip over the original grip as it will help with your hold consistancy

Iv got a very old Milbro Repeater 177. its quite a heavy gun. but cant shoot a fart lol. still its great for indoor plinking.

found it in a car boot about 20 years ago

Hey Jac

 

They just slip around the wood and help greatly to improve your grip cosistancy.

The best thing about the 'standard' side grip panels is that they are identical to the 1911 45 auto from Colt so you can buy mother of perl, slate, almost every kind of wood there is grips and rubber, but non of them have the finger spacing that the slip on Hogue will proved.

,other than that i find the trigger is naff compared to my Rhom,,tau 7,,bruno multishot.

But you and I both know we can not seriously compare the trigger of an alecto to the Rhom, Tau or Bruno can we

 

That would be like comparing the Steyer trigger to a CP99 co2 job!

Hey what yah on about? I managed sub 1/2 inch groups one handed with the Alecto maybe cuz it wasnt in production at the time, but it sure was SWEEEEEEET

 

Was even better after I'd put 50 or so down range.

Seeing as your in LaLa Land, I'll forgive you for buying it.

 

I almost made the mistake of buying a Typhoon

 

Everyone who I know that shoots pistols have all had a try with one (and I know a lot) and they all regret loosing their money.

The hype was good, but in the real world a fully recoiling spring pistol such as the GAT is a far more accurate pistol.

 

Its okay for bashing cans where accuracy is not essential but when it comes to paper punching :wallbash:

Jac is the 45 .177 or .22?

 

Nearly all my .177 pistols got fed D&N Geco's they all loved em. Although my HW40 got on better with the Eley Wasp and Webley Harrier (and apparently the Harrier are a crap pellet)

 

If you log into the UBC and ask what pellet for a 45, most of the owners on there will give you their choices
