Is it the law that pistols can't be mail ordered now?

No pistols, rifles or certain spare/replacement parts.
Second hand is OK unless it's an airsoft type gun that isn't garish colours.
Yet you can import and have them delivered straight to your door.
just like I did from Poland

It's bizarre isn't it...
and if you buy second hand there is only 1 way to post them anyway. Pf48.

It really is a poorly thought out law. One which saved me £70 on a new plinker
You can't get away with posting that and not putting a picture up!
If you buy 'mail order' from a dealer in the UK, you can often arrange for the item in question to be sent directly to a local RFD (Registered Firearms Dealer) from where you can collect it 'face to face'... although he will almost certainly want to charge you for the privilege of doing so!
It it not therefore surprising why so many folk chose to order from abroad these days, especially from countries within the EU, and save themselves quite a bit of money also.

maybe when I get home, it's nowt special just an spa cp1 m co2 pistol. Ideal for a bit of garden paper punching.

Anyone ever go shooting? Just recently joined the local HFT club (biggest in Scotland I believe), and will hopefully be getting an AA S400 next month. Aiming to do a little vermin control on the family farm too (rabbits, crows & rats!). Would be interested to hear if others here do any kind of shooting
I got shooting but with a .22 rifle 5.56mm rifle and a 12 gauge over & under. Mostly rabbits, pigeons etc but also deer on the estate.
Well i was down the range today and there was a fun "Halloween Cuddly Toy Murder Shoot".
First 10 mins was with airguns then the shotguns came out. A 12 gauge semi auto Hatsan Escort, Baikal break barrel 410 and a Remington 870 Magnum pump action 12 gauge.
The victims before hand with added "Heinz blood packs"
The victims afterwards
Ah, I recognise that tunnel - just off Porchester Road. Reminds me of Black Mesa East whenever I go there!

Nice. One of the guys down the club had one of them for his little nephew. I had a couple of goes as you do, and it was really quite nice to shoot.
the Nephew was soon making the 30mm 30yard spinners dance.
Went through a few CO2 capsules though
I was tempted by one of these, they look like fun.
here's my new polish, chinese built pistol spa cp1-m
Same as the smk victory and air force one trophy, just a lot cheaper.

Very nice. I can't decide if I want the multi shot one or not. I don't see me "fast firing" with it and the saving for the single shot would make it an easy purchase,
The magazine is a nice feature, but it isn't all that great. The extra single shot tray is a blessing. But the option is nice.
Now they're making the single shot with the bolt on the left, with hindsight I think I would have bought one instead and saved a few quid.

It is indeed the one just off Porchester Road

Was trying to order a pistol from https://www.sztucer.pl, but on the payment page it seems to have every country except UK. :/
