Spring/Piston Break Barrel pellet pistols

[FredWA]

Do not waste your money on the Benjamin Trail MK II. You WILL be disappointed. Worst excuse for a trigger on any pistol/rifle on the market. Locking mechanism on the barrel does always lock in the same position. Not accurate enough to be fun to shoot at any distance. Huge and heavy. Did I say huge and heavy?

I think we all agree Diana needs to bring back the 6M.

I also have a Diana 6M target pistol but I prefer my FWB 80 which is not strictly a break barrel but a side lever cock, much like the FWB target rifles, 300 and the 150 which I also own. Like the 6M the 80 is recoiless but works on a different system to achieve the smooth action. Both of these are designed as 10m target pistols and are extremely accurate and a joy to shoot.

In retrospect, I tend to agree with you, the FWB 80, being a simpler design, would hold up better and be much easier to work on. The Giss system of the 6M was just so cool (still is) that I just had to try it. I saw a post somewhere about working on a 6M and thought myself lucky, at the time, that I sold it. At this point in time I don't think that working on one would be that big of a deal.

I think the secret with taking the 6M apart was to carefully mark the position of the Giss mechanism before the disassembly so that it goes back in exactly the same way and on the correct side of the pistol. Don’t think that I would try it though. With my “spanner thumbs” I only attempt rifle strip downs.

Hi Doc, what do you want to do with it? Just plinking cans or pine cones, Umarex Buckmark or Mk. IV. Small game, maybe the Hatsan, but I'd agree with pan60, and get a pumper, specifically a 1322. (Since we're probably not going to see a return of the Benjamin pump pistol, alas....)

Oh how I loved the look and feel of the Benjamin pump pistol. I did get a Benjamin EB22 C02 pistol, I never got the pumper.

I always coveted the postal number and never have had one. ; ( sad times

I have a Diana 6M but prefer the Daisy 777. The Diana has a scope on it but I still shoot the Daisy more accurately. I love the grip shape.

The Umerex Browning is fine for 15 feet from my chair. But can be cool to shoot short Range. The Diana Chaser KIT is a blast and cheap. I like it(soon to be granddaughters) I'm looking hard at the Reximex
