    I purchased a Crosman 1377c for $49.00 to practice trigger control in the basement. Had so much fun I upgraded to an IZH-46M and WOW, it's blast to shoot.

    CP-88 Umarex/Walther

    Unfortunately, almost anything with a real steel trademark name is not going to be high quality. Walther is one exception, and the CP-88 is a wonderful pellet gun. But the S&W, Beretta, and the like are more for mass appeal than quality.

    I've found the trigger weight on the CP-88 much,much too heavy for serious "Competition" shooting. While it shoots well and is accurate, the trigger just leaves a whole lot to be desired.....

    CP-88 Heavy Trigger

    I personally own over 35 air and airsoft pistols alone. I sell training weapons and tactical gear to law enforcement and National Guard units across the country. I am a reseller for many brands, including Palco Sports, which is the Umarex distributor in the USA, and the licensee for most of the "real steel" branded air and airsoft guns. I put them through their paces, so that I can confidently recommend them to departments or others who would use them for training. So my opinion is based on fact and hands-on experience, not conjecture.

    My favorite "plinking" air pistol, and so far the most durable is my Walther CP88, which is a dream to shoot.

    I have a cp-88, and while accurate, I find the trigger weight unacceptable, but maybe there is nothing to be done in the area of "Trigger work" to lessen the weight. 3 or 4# would be great vice 7-9#...
