On my usual googling of new airguns I found this BROWNING 800 MAGNUM Air Pistol ( break Barrel). Its 700 FPS! in .177 and 600 fps in .22= thats great power for an air pistol..

I would kill for this thing!,the power and accuracy are fantastic= its times like this I hate living in Australia because I know I'll never own this beast :cry: :cry: .

I have seen that before but look at the size of the thing! it would be like holding a brick. IMO if you want power and something big get a rifle.

Basically a cut down rifle action with a pistol grip, the Diana P5 has been doing it for years ;)

If i was going to spend money on an air pistol, I'd much rather go for something like this ;)

Yeah, it's a powerful pistol, but it looks way too big to aim accurately.

I don't know why you think you can't have one of those pistols here.
Category H: Handguns including air pistols and deactivated handguns. To be eligible for a Category H firearm a target shooter must serve a probationary period of six months using club pistols, and a minimum number of matches yearly to retain each pistol.
Target shooters are limited to handguns of .38 or 9mm calibre or less and magazines may hold a maximum of 10 rounds. Participants in certain "approved" pistol competitions may acquire handguns up to .45", currently Single Action Shooting and Metallic Silhouette. IPSC shooting is not "approved" for the larger calibres, for unstated reasons. Category H barrels must be at least 100mm (3.94") long for revolvers, and 120mm (4.72") for semi-automatic pistols, and magazines are restricted to 10 rounds. Handguns held as part of a collection were exempted from these limits

I'm going to a pistol range this coming weekend to use a CO2 pistol, .22LR, .38 special & a .357 magnum.

Of course I plan to get a cat H license once I'm eighteen.

Ahhh yes but wait until you try apply for a Handgun licence here in Australia =they even give you a psychological test to determine if your suitable to own a pistol and doubt I would pass LOL!!. I have a normal firearms licence but I got that when I was 19( wasnt as strict then) im now 38! :cry:
