All those co2 pistols are ok and fun to use and good looking.
But they are all noisy and the power goes up and down all the time according to the speed that you are shooting at + temrature sensitive.
If it is your first ,i would go for a Weihrauch HW 40 PCA
One pump
Quiet
Constent good power
Light trigger
Very dependable
Very Accurate

In the USA

Here is a good review on the HW 40 by Todd Cooper

My first choice would be the Desert Eagle, if when it's available here.

second choice would be C255.
It's for sale here from one of our member:
http://www.airgunforum.ca/forum/viewtopic.650.html

third choice is PT90 and fourth would be CP99.

desert eagle for sure . i don't know if you can buy it yet but . if you can i would get that one . if you do how much can you get it for?
daisy 717 is good and accurate
357 is cheap .but works well (not accurate)
rws255 would be the second choice of your selection

anics skif a3000

#6 Post by papaburger »

how about EAA Corps' Anics skif a3000? It hold 28 round of pellets.
Actually I have no idea what the quality of skif a3000 is. Some says it jam more frequently with some pellets.

How about a IZH Drozd?

FYI everyone votes for DE because no one ever seen/has one :lol: but if it’s anything like the real one it should be fun 8)

PT-90 trigger pull

#10 Post by papaburger »

PT-90 trigger pull is over 11 lbs in both single action or double action !! That is too much. I am not an expert but it seems a light , crisp trigger pull is important to accurate shooting.

Personally I'd go for the PT-90 since I like the USP and plus I already have an airsoft gun that looks just like it. Airsoft is not my thing I just have that one pistol.

Then again desert eagle looks very awesome.

Yeah good luck with that, you might find someone in the states to ship it to you but not from Europe.

do'h :oops: I was actually going to buy one, but decided to go for a Skif. btw I handled a real USP later and really hated the feel of the gun, worst grips ever IMO; long and narrow. :-&
