Only returned to shooting post retirement, though I had a Daisy bb peacemaker and a BSA spring pistol as a youngster.
Bought a Dan Wesson a couple of years ago, got hooked on CO2 and went on a bit of a spending spree, (as you do).
Rapidly became disillusioned with the modern offerings and have settled largely for the older Crosmans and a couple of S&W 78/79G.
Now slowly parting with some of my earlier treasures, though it is proving difficult.
