Received an email from PyramidAir this morning that featured several popular air guns, one of which was the Beeman P17. Being curious, I went to the Air Guns of Arizona site and looked up similar air pistols. I was surprised to see the WeihrauchHW40, which looked exactly like the Beeman, at more than $170 more than the Beeman.
While I would expect a difference in quality, that much difference in price seems like the Beeman would be a piece of junk. Beeman is not known for marketing junk.
Any insights?
