You sir are a very fortunate individual indeed. I love the looks of LD's. Maybe one day I'll own one.

If you could only have one CO2 pistol?

I would have to go with the Cr 600 as well. Only trouble is I have two trouble free guns and wouldnt know which to let go!

Wow, that's a tad bit more than $500 used in the classifieds. It costs $140 to send your frame to MAC and have him machine the dovetail in the top and add a longer barrel? But right now he is out of stock on barrels.

There are many reasons I've owned a dozen Crosman 150s. And the only one I still own would be the last Co2 pistol I'd part with.
At only 9.5" overall, it's an actual PISTOL. The trigger breaks like a glass rod at only 24 ounces, thanks to the adjustable-sear trigger-job I developed in the 1980's. Scope-able because I marketed mounts to fit several vintage Crosman rifle and pistol models for decades. The figured walnut grips pictured were custom made for my hands, by my hands. The balance is light and superb, making precision offhand shots reality. Power is impressive enough for excellent small-game hunting to 30+ yards, and the accuracy is unbelievable... even to ME! But true.
As excerpted from Airgun Chronicles- Thirty Years Of Airgun Hunting And Competition-
14.3gr JSB Express, 100F, 22 shot powerband- Low= 444, Hi= 456, ES= 12, SD= 4, Avg= 451 FPS/6.5 Foot Pounds
This scoped 150 with trigger & action work has taken jackrabbit to 30 yards and cottontail to 35 (offhand).
7/6/13 Five consecutive three-shot groups at 25 yards averaged .37” c-t-c with 14.3 JSB Express.

I only have a couple of CO2 pistols. My 2240 has been so good that I've not had a reason to buy more. That's why I would never get rid of.
It's easy to work on with both factory and after market parts readily available. It's accurate, powerful and has been totally reliable. The red dot sight makes it an even better shooter.

I am mostly a "springer guy," and have relatively little experiece with gas guns. But I do really love the Crosman 150. Elegantly simple design, accurate, good trigger, easy to work on, and - for my taste at least - the later ones with one-piece breech/barrel have truly perfect balance in the hand.
This gun is also very tune-able, as noted above, and the granddaddy of the very cool, highly popular, and very modifiable Crosman CO2 guns still around today. The 150 is the classic's classic.

The last couple of years I built several of the Crosmann 2240 types, both in .177 and 22 cal. Fun guns, easy to work on. Most have either a 1701p trigger, or a super sear with roller trigger, and power adjuster. For handling though I like my S&W 78g

This is a difficult one, but if I could own just one Co2 pistol, it probably would be the FWB C55. Almost certain... Probably...

I only have 4 air pistols, two of which are CO2, so I would have to say my Diana Chaser in .22 caliber.

If it could really only be one, I’d have to say a Mk1 LD. Just too beautiful and fun to shoot

Some wonderful pistols here. But I’m keeping this peep sighted 2300S if I can only have one.

Out of ALL my pistols, co2, spring, pcp or ssp, the one that would keep is my S&W 78G.
