Hi Dan!

I have a Daisy/Winchester model 11 blowback BB 1911 replica, and love it. But it's over your price range, it sells at about 145-150$. I also have the Umarex Colt Defender, which is a non-blowback, BB shooting pistol, and like it a lot too. It usually sells at under 100$.

Do you want your pistol to be blowback, BB or pellet, all metal or plastic/metal is OK? Is your price range ''elastic''? Here are some suggestions, which I would consider as a start (you may find them at a better price elsewhere):

Can't give any feedback on them (except the Defender), I haven't owned any. HTH.

Edit: Just saw that in the classified, good deal IMHO: topic78162.html

thanks airmec i was looking at the winchester at canadian tire. it's on sale for 104.95 so 120 with tax. thanks to you too paddyfritz i saw that post and offered him 100 but he wouldn't take it. my wife gave me the ok to get the winchester so i just got back from canadian tire with it. haven't used it yet but looking forward to it. didn't want mess with shipping and all but maybe ddtanks tanfoglio would have been the right choose with the higher budget but a little leary of used without being able to see or use it first. thanks again for the advice guys and happy newyear

29 must be nice. -13 right now in Hanover ON. Don't have the Tanfoglio yet the seller is really hard to communicate with. Hope it comes together. $100 shipped can't beat the price. I'll take pics of all 3 when I get it. :) Cheers
