I have a couple of friends looking to try 10M air pistol in our local league, Unfortunately, although I've been shooting 10M air pistol a LONG time, I haven't stayed current on what model air pistols are available/ good for someone getting started.
It used to be any Daisy 717/747/777, Gamo Compact or IZH46 would get you into the sport without breaking the bank.
These days I see all three of those models are discontinued and commanding ridiculous $ when I do see one on the used market.
So far what I am seeing (in my initial search) is the Air Ventury V10 and Crossman 2300S as potentials. ( Either benefiting from a trigger job of course)
Any experience/ advice on these or other suitable options in the $200-500 range appreciated.
Thanks!
