Thanks for the replies guys;
I may end up going to something like the Webley & Scott Ltd. Webley Tempest Centennial. Air guns
for marksmanship. Just not sure how well it will last the way I use 'em. Been lurking the airgun boards and it seems well liked, but I'm not sure the average Briton uses 'em as hard as I do....
Hadn't really thought of softair for marksmanship, but it does make sense to use it for muscle memory training. Not as worried there, since I do dry snap drills and holster drills a few hours a week, but it is a point of concern. Probably pick up one of the Tokyo Marui 1911 clones after the Webley.
This ammo shortage is killing me - I like to put in a lot of practice, about 2,000-3,000 rounds of .22lr per month with pistol and the same with rifle, then a fraction of that with the big expensive centerfire numbers. Just did an inventory of .22lr today, and if I went back on full tilt training on the rimfires I'll burn it all up in about 3 months, max. Whole damn' thing started while I was still laid up for over a month with pneumonia, so now that I'm healthy I can't even get out to the range!
Once I finish paying off my last one of Mikhail K's masterpieces to complete my Warsaw Pact collection (bound to be falling overboard in another of a long line of tragic boating accidents shortly after it shows up!) the Webley and an Airsoft 1911 clone is going to the head of the list.
All the best,
Grumpy
