Can't go wrong buying from Wes, he is a good guy and very helpful. He will be a good resource for your 1st air pistol purchases.
Once you get the 2 from Wes, being more of a replica airgun sort of person, I recommend you try looking at a replica pistol. The Colt Peacemaker CO2 single action revolver "Ace in the Hole" is currently on sale at Cabela's for $129.99 with free shipping. This is the best price anywhere in North America for it. For a pistol with only a 3.5" barrel, you will find it fairly accurate in your 10M indoor range. And rates high in the fun/authenticity scale. Some people like the idea of loading shells into a 6 shot revolver, and fanning the hammer. On the same topic, you might also consider the Remington (Crosman) 1875. Also a shell loading CO2 revolver that shoots both BB's & pellets (has different shells for each). With a 6.5" Smooth bore barrel (Internal Length, External dimension is 7.25") it is even more accurate and more fps than the Ace. It can be found for around $150+ at a number of Cdn retailers. There are a number of other single action pellet revolvers to also look at, inc. the 7.5" Colt Peacemakers.
For a more military replica, you should look at the Sig Sauer M17 semi auto pellet pistol. It is a replica of the current US Army handgun. May not be the most accurate, but high on the fun/replica side. It has a lot of modern advancements, like belt fed pellet system and unique piercing system. Also a number of similar types of pellet guns like this.
I have all 3 pistols mentioned above and enjoy using them all.
And then, if you are into Glocks, their is the new Glock CO2 pellet pistol that is suppose to be out later this year.
So, you can't just have 2 pistols, you always need more.
Good luck, and welcome to the addiction.
Ill definately consider getting a replica(s) once I get these two first. These collections seem to add us quickly espacially once you add on the rifles. tx
Oh you didn't read the warnings before coming here? It's a very slipery slope you're getting onto!
Now it's just that one, oh and I have a little money left so I'll get that one too and you start shooting them andoh and you read about this and that and hmmm that one seems nice and more accurate than mine, oh and a break barrel would be cool to bring to the cottage on week-ends... and how about those gas ram ones, those might be even nicer and what's all this talk about PCP's, they can't be THAT great... or can they? Only one way to find out right!
And next thing you know, you have... well you don't know how many you have because you don't have room to store them all in one place!
There's a few weirdos that can control themselves and the "fear the man with only one gun because he knows how to use it" thing but I'm not one of them at all. To me they're like golf clubs, different guns for different things and replicas are just on another level of collectability (is that a word, or did I just made that up?) and since they're relatively inexpensive you'll get more and more. I have somewhere between 50 and 100 airguns. And get the wife to like them too, it will make your life way easier.
Good luck with your first purchase and don't say we didn't warn you... you WILL be addicted to this!
