I'm thinking about buying an HB22 or HB17 for a plinker. These look like a good value to me. Better quality, and higher powered than your cheap plastic guns, but still not too expensive compared to some stuff out there
Not sure I'll be able to handle one before I buy it so I thought I'd throw this out there and make sure there aren't any hang ups I should know about like bad triggers, or awkward grips. If you have one (or handled one) do you like it?
Any input on which caliber to get? The .22 is listed at 460fps, the .177 at 520. Doesn't seem like one is going to be much flatter shooting than the other at handgun ranges, and the price difference on ammo isn't too bad. Looks like the .22 has a bit more energy which might be good for reactive targets. Don't really plan on any hunting with them, othe than maybe an unlucky sparrow at the barn.
Thanks for any input
