Just got my wife interested in an air pistol but she can't close the cocking on the new one just bought for both of use. Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality pistol that a woman can operate? Thanks

A self contained used Daisy 747 or at least 717. Probably in the $200 - $250 price range easiest to cock and shoot all day long and really quiet too. Can also buy an adapter to mount a red dot too.

Post a WTB AD AND DON'T GET SCAMMED-!!!
Maybe local Craigslist WTB and face to face transaction-?

The Daisy 747 is a great choice and there is the Zoraki a bulky but lightweight pistol, in the $220-$240 price range. easy on the first pump, the Baikal 46M target pistol is great also although in the $600 price range.. Although you may have to carve on the grips a little to make it fit her hands.

Why not a Crosman 2240? It is co2 but is easy to cock and shoot, plus it can be very accurate. It is cheap too.

I have the 1701P. It only puts out about 6fpe, but is a dream to shoot. Nice trigger, dead easy to cock and load. Highly recommended. It is a single shot, and it is a tad front heavy with the air cylinder out front. I highly recommend though

If you want one just to plink and target shoot , And just requires one cock, I would try to find the Daisy that Odoyle mentioned. He’s the reason that I bought mine. I bought a daisy 717 on eBay but had to re-seal it. It ended up costing me $95 total. It was very easy to reseal. But I see ones in working condition all the time on eBay. The ones that are in nice condition that are working normally go for $150-$200. But they are nice shooting pistols that are accurate. I see them on there all the time.

Weihrauch HW45. The more you use it the easier it gets. Sweet pistol. Top notch. Crow
you can give this one a full cock or a half cock.

Got your wife interested in shooting airguns?
Personally, I'm more than happy to heavily subsidized my wife's interest in shooting sport... and/or motorcycles... It's well worth it.
- Go with a PCP
- Get the nicest one you can afford, for her to use
- Trust us, it will be worth it.
- You'll earn some bragging right... Guess what my wife shoots?
