Smith & Wesson 78G

Some say the .22 78 is better because it was based on S&Ws .22 target pistol and they knew how to make .22 barrels better than .177.
Good story but I have both and it isn't true.
I prefer the 78 but only because I am a .22 man like Ian.

I have owned both

I found the Mk1 had a more comfortable grip and could get better grouping with it but the 78 was more fun to shoot. Not that there was much in it - they are both accurate pistols.

It would be the 78 every time for me.

Thanks for the advice Ian

I am now the proud owner of this very gun, complete with yellow duster, having just acquired it off Graham who after a few weeks of ownership decided he prefers 177.
It feels much better in my hand than the EB22 which you sent me last week so I think that may be back for sale soon.

Ariived about 30 mins ago so just fired a few test shots and I love it

I seem to be making a habit of acquiring your exs, one of which is currently for sale on the BBS a CP88 PPC1500, as I have too many of the 8 shot umarex pistols and need to clear some space in the safe

Glad you like it Joe - its a great example!

It seems to me that there are about eight of us who all own desirable guns that we are constantly selling to each other for whatever reason.
I propose - in order to save the monetory hassle - that we just form a "Loan Union" and we circulate the guns on a regular basis.
That could work.
