1911A1 Tangfolio Witness and a German Luger. C02 bb pistols with blow back action. Both aged. fun to shoot. Accurate for a bb pistol.

N/A What is your favorite C02 Pistol?
- Thread starter Bear-of-Grayling

My favorite would be a pair. The S&W 78G and 79G. The 78G I found is like new in the original box with a box of S&W branded C02 cartridges
and S&W .22 pellets.
A close second would be the oldest airgun in my collection, the 1946 Schimel GP-22. It uses the old soda fountain 8 gram C02 cartridges.

Crossman Vigilante .177 revolver ... I'm not a big CO2 guy but the revolver action is enjoyable

Crosman 150. Shoots hard and accurately, compact, perfectly balanced, well-made and finished, and even simpler than me.

Not an overly big on CO2 pellet guns and of the six that I've had...
I melted two of them in a cast iron pan with a torch. That's about what they were worth, and yeah, even being "brand" name guns.
And of the four that I still have, it's difficult to pick a "favoriate".
Here's two -

I also have a Tangfolio and like it a lot, use it for quick draw double tap practice got 2 extra mags for it only load 10 rounds so with the rotation they don't get to cold.
works really good in the 15 yards range, pretty accurate

FWB model 2.
Made some custom left hand grips. Easy and fun to shoot for winter indoor 10m in the basement.

Right on, Mike! However I'm compelled to expound on your points a bit.
"Shoots hard" enough for excellent small-game work to 30-35 yards; "compact" so much as to be the most power and accuracy in the most compact package this side of a $1200 Ataman AP16 Compact; "perfectly balanced" especially for offhand shooting; "well-made and finished" in real metal, and "even simpler than me" as in 'simplicity is the hallmark of good design'.
This cottontail fell to a 35 yard offhand brain shot virtue of the 150s excellent power, accuracy, and balance.
Not too bad for an American-made air pistol produced from 1954 till 1961, when they sold for the lofty price of eighteen-dollars and seventy-five cents!
I consider mine virtually PRICELESS!

The 78G is my favourite co2 pistol, and the last gun I would part with, closely followed by an early Daisy 790 (assembled from parts made by S&W).

Springfield Armory Mil-Spec. Same basic gun as your Tanfolio Witness, but with better sights.

Another favorite that deserves mention is the Crosman 357 series. I have the Vigilante and Python versions, and the Triple Threat that comes with 3 barrels. They all shoot great. Accurate, reliable, and easy to work on. Magazine cylinders are abundant and affordable, and you can have some fun swapping out barrels and different red-dot sights.

I recently picked up a couple of Benjamin Sheridan E9's and a H9 pump. I was extremely surprised with the accuracy!
