Hey, I want to get an air pistol, live in the UK.

Want either a .22 or a .177 CO2 powered semi auto.

Must fit in with UK laws and be a decent looking thing as well! Price not TOO much of an issue, but less is better!

id go for 11 1/2 foot/pound.

Ur not gonna rob a post office are you?

Be careful where you use it...people tend to get jumpy when they see replica pistols. And don't look down the barrel when it's loaded. 😭

I remember when my brother did that

I recemend a ruger .22 for starters move up from there and unless u live on a farm take it to a range here are the 3 main rules

1) always treat a gun like it's loaded

2) NEVER put ur hand on the trigger until u fire the gun

3) always point down range see your range instructor for more advice

He said AIR pistol...Key word being AIR, not gunpowder.
And do you want a BB or pellet gun?

I had a .177 semi auto pistol, 8 shot and I have two .22 air rifles, I scoped and the other just iron sight. Good fun, I take mine up the aerodrome.

Honestly try are all as good as each other as long as you have the budget, I can't remember the model of my pistol. I guess theoretically the longer the barrel the greater the velocity and accuracy.... But these are air pistols we are talking about lol.

I'm 23 lol, I shot my bro with my pellet rifle once.... Well it was a ricochet (spelling). I spent £130 for my pistol and it was worth it, I spent £190 for my rifle and that was also worth it lol. It's near Xmas so you might get good deals.
