Think I'm about to go down this rabbithole. Which I your favourite so far and why. I want a replica but want it to be reasonably accurate ie hitting tin cans at 10 metres when I'm actually aiming at them

I thought I was building a nice little collection of replicas but the Government in their wisdom seem hell bent on stopping me.
I'm losing 3 at a cost of nearly 400 notes. I think by the end of 2026 I have none left
May be the .22 blank firers will be next, then the SMG's and I'll lose more. I'm thinking of just buying photographs of my favourite handguns, they'll be the only ones your allowed to keep

I only have 2 pistols so far but I only bought them both last week. Im always looking though and I can see it turning into an expensive hobby.
I'm looking to get one. but where to begin? Lad at the range has an MP-40 that is wicked fun, but liking the idea of a wheel gun first. Dan Wesson, or a Barra or ASG Schofield, any suggestions?

It really depends whether you prefer vintage or modern.
All the revolvers will fire pellets (even if they are a BB version) whereas the MP40 is BB only.
I like my Schofield but enjoy my M29 just as much.

You cannot go wrong with any of the M29's, the Dan Wesson 715 is a nice piece too, but the Remington Sheridan cowboy gun is a nice pistol too that fires both pellet and bb's.

The Crosman Sheridan 1875 is a really nice piece of kit, quite weighty and has an added advantage over the
Umarex Colt SAA in that the Sheridan is field strippable
I have 2 Sheridans one of which i converted into an 1888 model ... i also made real wood
grips for both as i think it adds that little bit extra.
these are well worth the money without a doubt

Well, I've gone for the S&W Model 29, asked local RFD to get one in ASAP. Shells and speedloaders to follow!

Good choice, M29's are really nice , the 629 is another fine looking pistol.
That model 29 looks cool, just might be my next purchase.

Nice looking revolvers. There is a choice of 4 Umarex M29's.
Smith & Wesson M29 3" 4.5 mm (.177) BB
Smith & Wesson M29 8 3/8" 4.5 mm (.177) BB
Smith & Wesson M29 6.5" 4.5 mm (.177) Pellet
Smith & Wesson M29 8 3/8" 4.5 mm (.177) Pellet
I like the idea of having both extremes, the 3" and the 8 3/8" versions.

I've also been bitten by the collector bug. I have a 'Military & police firearms' theme for my collection. Only have 4 so far ( the 2011 is the airsoft pistol I used to compete with so doesn't qualify for my theme but I decided to put it up anyway!) My future shopping list contains a MP40, Stg44, Thompson, SMLE, Browning hi-power, P38, PPK, Webley, Beretta M35, Nambu, Mauser Hsc and no doubt a few more I've forgotten about. Not bothered about shooting any of them as they will only ever be on display but realism is most important. It's going to take some time to gather all these as they aren't cheap but I'll get there.
