Men and their Toys

Lock and load! Will be getting myself a pair of BB pistols to add to my airgun collection (which currently consists of one Crosman Quest 500x). My cousin's boyfriend found a online store located in Peterborough with a nice selection of CO2 airguns, and I knew I just had to get one. Or two. I already have my pick on a Smith & Wesson M&P and an Umarex SA177 (detailed Glock replica with blowback!), just have to wait for the other people I'm ordering with to decide on their choices. The wait is unbearable...

The Smith and Wesson M&P, opted for this instead of an all-metal Colt replica. Muzzle velocity at 480fps, just 15 fps below the legal limit here in Canada. Going to drop some squirrels with this sweet looking honeycake.

The M&P is a beauty, but sadly it doesn't have a blowback action. Which is why I'm also getting this, the SA-177 by Uramex. It actually slides back when fired! While performance-wise it cant compare to the M&P, I wanted the tad of realism of a blowback, which the SA177 offers at a extremely low price (Only ten bucks more than the M&P!). Orginally, I passed this for the more powerful Uramex HPP Pistol, also with blowback, but after reading the reviews, I wanted the better accuracy and more durable metal magazine in the SA177.

With the two pistols and the two extra mags for the M&P it'll all cost me about 150 dollars. Thats not including the fact I have to buy the CO2 and BB ammo from Canadian Tire, which will cost me another 50 bucks. $200 is probably the most I ever spent on toys for myself, but I got nowhere else to spend the money I been making all summer. This is probably the first time in my life I actually had money to spend on my hobbies and what not, and I got to say its a good feeling. I'm thinking of getting into archery too, if i can find a darn store that sells left hand bows ><. That's it for now, time to hit the sack and wake up bright and early for work tomorrow. Sigh...
