I've got the time to help with moderating if needed. RC

@Robert
I think the Diana 5 is the recoilling version.
The Diana 6 has the dual piston, making it recoilless.

As a spring gun, it could be tuned, but I don't think you can improve it very much.

a tune works wonders on the 5g. and they all need a trigger adjustment from the factory. they are set kinda " safe ". once the trigger is adjusted correctly, and a lubetune has been done, it shoots very smoothly and is consistent in the mid to high 5s with a medium weight pellet. the trouble is to master the hold required to shoot it to its fullest. my standard was "ping pong" ball at 20 yards. With super H points at 615 fps it was deadly on squirrels on the back yard. not a hole in a hole kinda gun (because i use all kind of strange shooting positions and angles while pesting on the yard). But a pellet in the noggin is all it took... sometimes there was the death dance, sometimes they hit the ground like a sack of potatoes... I sold it to get a p1 in .20. I should have kept the 5g... Now i am wondering if i needs a lp8... is good because u can scope it... but there is too much plastic for my taste. Plus my 1377s are really tough to replace... lol

If IF a air pistol sub gate is made I have no problem having it added to the gates I'm a mod on.

I've asked in the past for a pistol gate and it didn't happen, but who knows maybe with the added interest now.

I don't even have a pistol (yet), but I'd be interested in a sub group like that. Planning to get a 1377 at some point.

can't wait for that .25 cal Hatsan pistol to come out

1377's, 22xx pistols already have gates the crosman gate for the 1377's and the pcp co2 gate for the 22xx's. Imo a air pistol sub gate would be great to have for air pistols like the crosman co2 revolvers, 1088's etc or to sum it co2 reapter pistols.

It would also be nice and idk if its already done but some shooting matches for co2 reapter pistols. Like 10ft target match, 20ft target match, something like garage distance shooting matches that way none of us has to get outside in the excessive heat to shoot since with these garage setups are ideal

Please don't forget those of us with Izzys, Daisy 7x7s, and other SSPs, or MSPs. And while some of the pistols may technically fit in other gates the focus there sometimes seems to regard pistols as an interesting afterthought. Crosmans may be the exception.

BTW, there's some great information and targets out there for shrinking 10m pistol targets down to 5m while keeping the same effective sight picture. Fun stuff for the garage.

Wow it's exciting seeing all this interest in pistol shooting!!
I got out this morning to shoot the DW,this time at cans from 30 ft. I was surprised to see it rip holes
completely thru a ribbed steel can and keep going!
Since my local range was closed again today...had to fall back to the BB revolver!

Thanks Mike! Yeah we like to watch the reruns of shows we watched when young...Gunsmoke...Rifleman and such. I do like my single action revolvers,but have a .40 Glock in the mix too.
The name "Fortyshooter" seems to cover what I shoot .40 thru .45-70

Yeah I'm a lefty!

Me too! Id be happy with the .22!

Lambchops · « **Reply #36 on:** July 01, 2012, 10:10:59 PM »

I don't think a pistol only forum would do well, but I support a new gate. I myself have several air pistols I frequently shoot.

NotRocketSurgery · « **Reply #37 on:** July 01, 2012, 10:27:06 PM »

Count me in! My first love is pistols. I have an even dozen of them. I have one lowly CO2 rifle and I use that mostly to go plonking with the kids. Somehow, I see the pistol as representing a bigger challenge to shoot well than it takes for a rifle. But, I suppose rifle people feel the same way about pistols. In any case, that's my passion. I saw the Hatsan 25 advertised last week and decided that I probably ought to have 13. Also, here is a photo of Sweet Baby on the day she graduated from Extreme Makeover School.

marauder23 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 01, 2012, 11:03:59 PM »

There is debate over the definition of what is a pistol. Talon P? P-Rod? Some guns cross the barrier a bit so what happens to those discussions when there are two gates?

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #39 on:** July 01, 2012, 11:06:31 PM »

The Talon P is a wanna be pistol, pistol used as a marketing tool, I had one and it ain't a Pistol
