I use a 90 and I really can't fault it. I've had it for over ten years and put many thousands of pellets through it and it's never missed a beat. It's got a bit more weight than the 95 but I prefer a heavy gun as I find them easier to hold steady as most of my shots are standing. Both are first class springers though and you should go for which ever one feels best for you. Cheers. Edit to say, I have a Lightning too (with a gas spring) and it can't hold a candle to the HWs.

But unless youra real safety freak shouldnt bother you to much. The whole gun is just quality, adjustable trigger aswell so you can have it as tough or sensitive as you like! Buy it! Jack p.s get it with the weihrauch silencer should come with it, very quiet indeed for a springer. Quote Link to post
