...days later... After 2 pages of analyzing everything about the KWC 75 and Tanfoglio, shops are still closed here, so i don't know what's on stock for sale... Meanwhile i keep watching the Shadows again and again, my, they are beauties... TerribleTuco Is the Shadow 2 optics ready? Do i need a special one to mount, or universal 11/22 mm? Now i'm more confused lol, if only the shadows were just single action...

6mm ? Airsoft? Itโs the best calibre ๐. Seriously though, you can fine tune airsoft pistols because of the big selection of bb weights, 20,25,28,30,32,43,46 grams. With.177 bb I think you only have steel, or copper coated. Gamo make lead ones I think, but they jam in many guns. I would choose .6mm over 4.5mm every time, I find them far more accurate, my own opinion obviously.

Doug Soal where i live i got 7-8 months of sunshine and Co2 friendly temperatures to shoot in my backyard, if there is some wind, those plastic balls will fly to the next village. And as said, i want the satisfying clear sound of metal hitting metal, even if its a beer can. So once again, airsoft? Not for me I think this battery operated thing does not make any sound when shooting? Meh X2 , no pistol feeling there...

George......Sorry for delay. Here's the link for the Shadow mount plate. Fits well, but be sure to blue Lock Tite it. Easily replaces rear site dove tail : Says "Airsoft", but fits airgun also. www.evike.com/products/97903/

After a lot of digging through info, manuals, videos i decided to go for the K 75 TAC for now. I hated the compensator of the KWC 75 Competition (almost 200 grams extra weight + 6,4 cm length ) As seen in the Manual (same for both) on the schematics, its the same gun just without the compensator, rail and slide pull. It's good to have the iron sights, as somebody said i can always buy the rail extra. Interesting thing is, on the 2018 Catalog the magazine number is different than the 2023 catalog so it seems they keep improving parts... About the Tanfoglio's, more expensive because of the branding, better looking IMO (color, compensator, grips), but i hated the rail brick on the Golden even more when I saw my tiny RDS mounted on it, and the Limited Custom is "coming soon" (translation in English, maybe xmas and high priced) Shadow 2 goes on the wish list... I love it, i want it, with RDS please... Review to follow...

The odyssey of an airgun (A little off topic story)
It all started when i thought "it's discount days, lets order some Devastators n stuff for my HDR" Entered the e-shop, placed order, let's see airgun sales...
There it was, KWC 75 TAC, just for 95 euro... Started digging reviews, forum, videos, said ok, i want it. Placed the order, no email response... Called the shop, aunty said "we don't have it, maybe September"
Started looking for the gun in e-shops via google and "best price" sites... After contacting more than 15 e-shops in all country which all claimed to have it "in stock" and on discount, none actually had it. Found the Greek KWC distributor page... Gun was in stock, ordered, just to get a phone call "we don't have it, maybe October" Found a shop saying "Tanfoglio limited custom coming soon", called, he said "we don't have this item code, it's probably a ghost page that Google kept in the search engine"
So i realized they just put on their sites whatever the distributor has "in stock" and order it from him when the client asks for it. They all say "1-3 days delivery time" So after more digging through e-shops for 2 days, i said "just forget it..."
Started browsing for other KWC - SWISS ARMS - CYBERGUN models, suddenly i come across an e-shop with the 75 in stock. I thought probably another yes-but-no, ordered, confirmation mail came, back to the page, gun no longer in stock. An hour later. new email, "please send me your ID". Did so. Hours later still no response, called the shop "we have your order and ID will check availability and call you in 5 min..." Another hour later, no response... thought "f*** it" and took a nap.... Suddenly a call, gun is on the way, SMS with tracking number
So the probably last KWC 75 TAC in the country is on its way... TBC
