I'm looking for a target revolver

Somewhat odd one but are there any revolvers which are capable at semi accurate target card work at around 20 yards? I have a single shot target pistol and I was hoping to have something that feels a little more "realistic"

Silencer suddenly louder

Hi all,

I got myself a silencer a couple of days ago for my PP700 and since then have shot approximately 200 times.

I‘ve noticed that it has gotten a lot louder. Is that normal?

Im using the WASP MK2 Silencer

Fitting a UTG Bug Buster Scope on a Gambo Reacon Air Rifle

My son is interested in getting into the air rifle hobby. He inherited a Gamo Reacon air rifle which has a groove cylinder rail. I bought him a new Bug Buster scope, but it looks like the mounts that come with the scope are medium mounts that fit either a pitcanny or dovetail rail. What are my best options for fitting the new scope on this rifle? If I buy a pitcanny rail like this one could I just fit that on the grooved cylinder rail and then fit these mounts onto that?

BSA Ultra Junior JSR alternatives

I was planning to get one of these for my son in a couple of years when he's old enough. I was wondering if there are any alternatives/competitors who make quality Junior PCP's

Can PCP pellet guns shoot slugs as well?

Can PCP pellet guns shoot slugs as well or do slugs require a special gun just for slugs?

Steyr LP50 size-large replacement/aftermarket grips in the UK?

I'm looking for a replacement grip for a Steyr LP50 in the UK.

Beyond it being large size, am happy with aftermarket/original or new/used.

All the aftermarket ones I can find are in the EU; can anyone suggest an aftermarket grip supplier in the UK? I can buy an original grip for £180+P&P, but would love to hear of anything cheaper or better

Optic Hawke Wantage 6-24x50

Hi,

What do you guys think about this optic?

https://www.airgunseurope.com/hawke-vantage-6-24x50-ao-mildot-ir-scope.html

I am new to air rifles and bought my first air rifle Gamo PCP HPA Tactical couple of days ago. I really love it but the gamo stock optic is not the greatest and I would like to shoot long range. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Which brand do you find the most good-looking rifles in general?

My favorite is BSA, especially with the black pepper stock every model is beautiful.

First CO2 / PCP pistol

I need your expertise! I would like to buy an air pistol to play around. I was thinking of .177 Cal (4.5mm) pellets since I already have some springers in that caliber (HW77K Special and HW98).

I live in Germany and they have to be limited to 7.5J. most CO2 pistols ( have a PCP gun with a pump so PCP is also an option since I don't have to buy CO2) that I was able to find are not more than 3J and would really like to max out that legal limit of measley 7.5J.

I would really like the pistol to have a magazine, realistic look is a plus. Price should not be more than 300 euros.

Thank you for your suggestions!

FX DRS Pro MDT 700 Airgun is it all hype?

Does anyone have one in the US? Is it worth the hype? I know all I've been watching has been MDT on youtube. They make some cool chassis. They are pretty darn expensive from that I can tell. The ~$2,900 price tag makes me wonder.

How to store my Crosman American Classic air pistol

I got a Crosman American Classic in .177 from a Cabela’s here in Canada around five years ago. It’s been a while so I don’t remember exactly, but when I first got it I looked up tips for using and taking care of it. One of these tips that I’ve been doing for the time I’ve had it is pumping it once before storing it (I use it sometimes multiple times a week, but other times not for a few months). I’m wondering now if this is right? It’s gotten a little old, so I’m thinking of replacing it sometime soon and I want to make sure I’m doing stuff right lol.

The pump handle has gotten really loose where it connects to the internal piston-thing (to the point where it’ll pop open if I don’t hold onto the pump handle), but I’ve assumed that’s just cause it’s old. Other than that I’ve had no issues besides user error (I threaded the rear sight screw a bit from over-tightening it).

First time purchase: SigSauer P226 or Umarex Beretta M92 *FS

Hey guys!
This is the first time ordering an airgun online, I don't have an opportunity to try them out in any of local stores. So, I have to go by what's available online.

I want a close replica, which is solid made, hefty and just has all the factors of a real pistol feel.

But based on my lengthy YouTube research and forums, I have a choice between P226 (Pellet version) or M92 FS (pellet version)

From what I've read, Beretta M92 FS is super high quality but it is made by Umarex with a Beretta license.
Sig P226 Pellet version are actually made by Sig Sauer and also resemble the real P226.

I have no issues buying either one of them, price is not an issue.

In your opinion, which one is the most optimal buy factoring I want a close match replicate of a real thing?

I am leaning toward P226, but I guess that's because they are made by the actual firearm manufacturer.
