Title: Prewar pistol shoot off - finally a little warmer weather!

Hard to beat the Webley prewar Senior but the Tell3 has a lot of style points.

Steve you now I love your vintage pistols.  :-*
 Deep down I am rooting for the Webley.
I am still watching for a nice Tempest / Hurricane to come available at a decent price.

Webley finest vintage air pistol made.  The Webley was shooting 480 FPS, the Tell 3 about half that.

Nice pistols and nice shooting!  I didn't realize the Tell was that much slower than the Webley. Every time I pick one up, I take a moment to enjoy just how solid and weighty they feel in the hand.

It’s about 480 to 280.  The Webley has a lot of leverage with its long barrel.  The Tell 3 brilliance is its power plant behind the barrel and eliminating the barrel above the tube.  Looks like a powder burning pistol.  But smaller less powerful power plant.

I'm rootin' for the Tell3.  Something about it (maybe it's the grips and general ergonomics?) reminds me of a Makarov.
