do you know what fps it's shooting?.. might be a good platform for a compact PCP, if you use a high pressure air tube..

From before I put the new wood grips on..
Glad I had it with me this day. This bad boy crawled out from under my mower when I got on it.

My .22 Schimel.
It’s not exactly straightforward to operate, and only gets around 16 honest shots per 8gr cylinder. But it’s loud, powerful, and has a bit of a kick. Feels more like a PB than an airgun. Great fun and highly addictive

For me it is clearly the Huben GK1 in .25 and so much so I have sold my Webly's, and other air pistols as they are just no comparison to the power, accuracy, and reliability of the GK1. Once you shoot a GK1 is is highly likely you will have the same reaction

FWB P8X (accuracy, balance, trigger)
But I also have a Crosman 2300S with a Corcoran grip that I love shooting. (just plain fun).

The sweetest to shoot might be the Hammerli Master, a CO2 match pistol from the 60's / 70's. Elegant, light, recoilless, accurate, really fine sights and trigger.
But the FWB 65, a recoilless springer of the same era, is the last one I'd part with, not only super accurate but good power too. The one with the longer barrel and match grips is a bit older.
And in complete contrast, the other one I could never be without is the Webley Tempest / Hurricane - fun, compact, indestructible classics of elegantly simple design. These both have aftermarket grips.

Very nice grips on the Webleys!
Are these grips available for purchase anywhere these days? Upvote 0
Thanks!
Both grip sets in the pic are Beeman accessories from about 30 years ago - no longer available. The sport grips on the Tempest are fairly common on the used market, and other skilled folks offer similar ones today. The adjustable-palmshelf match grips on the Hurricane are quite rare though. They were never big sellers (because match grips on a Webley are absurd!), but look cool and are fun to use.
I have farily small hands, and FWIW the stock plastic grips on these pistols, if less aesthetically thriling, are weirdly perfect for me. They fit comfortably and align the sights effortlessly.

I have a Webley Mk V1 and a Gletcher Nagant, both pellet, I like them both the only problem with the Nagant is spare shells seem to be unobtainable so lots of reloading shells, whereas I have 36 shells for the Webley.
