    This is quite interesting

    Wonder if it will come here. A sort of longer Chinese HW40.

    Trouble is you almost can guarantee that the trigger will have all the sophistication of a Suffolk gate latch...

    I like it. It reminds me of the AMT Hardballer Longslide. If the HW40's trigger has been replicated and fitted to this, it could be awesome. Especially with that extensive sight radius.

    At least they're better than the 4" x 2" Norfolk gate latch!

    If the tube is the same diameter as the 40 or the nemesis, then by the looks of it this might be close to 6fpe

    Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room

    I was only looking at that the other day and wondered what it was like. I wonder if anyone knows?

    Looks rubbish, I'd rather just pay a bit more and get the HW40.

    It says 400 fps in .177 and 300 in .22 which is the same as a Nemesis...lot of good all that extra leverage adds then!

    True, but the extra leverage might make the return stroke a lot easier.

    That was my thought. An extra 2" or so of upper-receiver/barrel over a P17 might make for easy cocking, and forward weight and long sight base help practical accuracy. Like a Gamo PR-45.

    If it sells in the UK for under a hundred quid, and is fairly well made (I know, the trigger will be a weak point), it's potentially an interesting addition to the fairly small range of decentish cheapish plinkers and Pony Club/Scouts target pistols.
