| I don't know anything about those guns, but my gut feeling tells me you are spending a good deal on the "tactical" looks and accessories...things that don't really help the pistol and only serve to make it look cool. Now, there is a lot to be said for having a cool looking gun, it is worth something. I just don't know how much the compensator is actually helping, and I don't think I'd ever use a flashlight on a pistol. |

Hmmm, I'm guessing you'll have more fun with a 100 bucks gun without the flashy extras.  |

I'm as guilty as anyone of hanging stuff on a gun:
But - another route might be to get a good shooter and add things as you feel inclined. |

| wow nice looking gun there slavia. i guess my question should be what pellet pistol can i get for around $100 that feels and looks like a real gun with the option to add top dot sight and possibly a laser pointer. looking for realistic feeling gun such as the walther or the beretta because i was just informed that i cant shoot my "real guns" in my backyard after almost 2 years of shooting there. |

Do you want to be flashy, or actually do some serious shooting?
No idea on what to get that's flashy, but I would recommend a Crosman 1377 for serious air pistoling. The stock gun is a good deal for what you get, and the mods are endless. You would only have the option for mounting up top, since it is a pumper. Maybe with some custom work you could devise a way to put a rail on the sides of the pump arm, at your own risk. |

Go for the Nighthawk, you no you like it! And it shoots pellets has an eight shot magazine and all the bells and whistles, if you buy anything else you won't be happy.
Ideal for backyard plinking day or night.
Have fun and welcome to AirGunHome.

The Marksman 2004 in the picture is still available in retail outlets as the Beeman P17. It is a Chinese copy of the Beeman P3/HW40. At under $50.00 USD, it is accurate, has a dovetail mount, and can be re-sealed with "O" rings from an automotive parts store. On the down side, it is a single shot, and low powered at only 3 FPE. I added weight by placing a BB/epoxy mix in the vacant areas of the frame.
If your situation dictates a repeating pistol, then take a look at Alstone's suggested Nighthawk. |

The P-17's are great little guns for sure, but they are lacking in the power department..........mine was pushing 8.3gr. JSB's @ 350-360fps
Here is a mod I did to a P-17 to up the power a bit, I machined this barrel from a piece of a Crosman .177cal barrel...
Results......
+45-55fps
