Snowpeak SP500 any good?

I like the idea of a .22 break barrel air pistol, anybody tried one of these. Are they nice to use and reasonably accurate? Thanks

Another addition to the Pistols: SP500 HNPD

Came through the post earlier this week. I was able to try it out only today as the weather was rather wet until this afternoon. Snowpeak SP500, 10€ to 20€ cheaper at only 49,99€ than the same under the Diana brand (P-five) or Swiss Arms (Sparrow). It's light and handles pretty nicely out of...

Snowpeak sp500 surprise

I had one

Great for the money

Tiny spring, tiny piston, tiny cylinder bore but somehow, without dieseling, mine was over 4½ ft/lbs

Trigger utterly abysmal and unusable but 100% improved by replacing the adjustment screw for a longer one, suddenly a lovely crisp predictable single stage trigger

Such an easy little gun to strip too

Sold mine eventually but it was a decent gun and a real bargain
