Try www.mac1airgun.com they are located in California. Tim is very reliable and see if you can get yourself an LD pistol or a TALON. :LOL:

The LD is an air pistol that shoots at a max velocity of 560fps. It is powered by Co2 and uses small 3 ounce bottles to fill from. In fact the bottles stay attached to the pistol when you shoot. So there is no way it can be called a firearm and I think the velocity is also pretty okay not like a monstrous Barnes air pistol.

I want one for its cool appeal but always shy away and buy something more match useable like the IZH 46M.

Regards,
