Another BB gun poll

[PVC Arsenal 17]

I'm looking for a single-shot pneumatic pellet pistol within the $50 range.

I've narrowed it down to 2 guns:

Beeman/Marksman 2006 pistol

IZH 53M


The first one is an over-lever spring piston and shoots 400 fps.
The second one is a break barrel and shoots 350 fps.

Both have great reviews "for the money" but I can't decide.

the first one isn't a spring pistol but a single-stroke pneumatic, and therefore will be smoother, quieter and much easier to shoot accuratly than the break-barrel springer, no contest in my opinion, though on the other hand I do have a soft spot for russian goods

Ah what do I know? I read that somewhere.

I've been leaning toward the first one, mainly because Cabela's will send air guns to New Jersey while the other places don't. It seems like a decent gun anyway.

Cabelas is just cool like that.

They sure are!

And they're opening one near me next summer. Can't wait.

Fuck. They changed the rules. I can't buy them anymore.

Now I have to drive 2 hours out to PA.
