Webley Alecto Air Pistol

Well made , accurate , fits your hand like a glove. I got mine in 20 caliber the in between caliber and this pistol packs a pretty good wallop , i was quiet impressed. The trigger is very predictable to me anyway . No Co2 needed just the pistol and some pellets and your ready to go , my favorite part.

Price seems a little steep otherwise not one thing.

The grip is quite comfortable, the trigger is pretty good, accuracy is superb, and the flexibility of 1, 2, or 3 pumps is very cool.

I would prefer for the trigger mechanism to have a more positive engagement within so that it feels crisper. Now that I have it adjusted as well as I can, it's pretty good, but still rather mushy. It isn't bad at all, just not as good as it could be. I'd also like to see it cost more like $200, which is why I gave it only 4 stars for value.

I've owned this pistol for 9 months now and still absolutely love it! It's super accurate, really smooth, and so much fun to shoot. With 1 pump it's very quiet and doesn't even wake the squirrels. If I really want to put the "spank" on something, 3 pumps does the job. Although I wish I could have spent less on it, I don't regret the purchase at all. Buy quality, cry once.

It is a well built gun. Let's face it, like the Webley name. Look how well the Webley revolver is selling, even though it is not made by Webley. The case is very nice. Trigger out of the box is better then anything I have except my P17. I like the added space for loading compared to the P17. Pumping is MUCH easier then the P17. Looks like reliability will be very good for this pistol, judging from online reviews.

Some pellets are very tight in the breech . If the breech could be slightly chamfffed " darn spelling check isn't help me", pellets would load easier. The stock sights are hard to see compared to the P17.

Be sure and totally open up the pistol. I have had several misfires. Would have to pump 2, sometimes 3 times to fire pellet. I was attempting to fire with not enough air pressure to expel the pellet. It would expand the back of the pellet and jam in the barrel. It seemed that Gamo diablo match were the worst offenders. Once I got my act in gear, no further problems. Many references were made to the Beeman P17 If money is short, just buy a P17 and enjoy most of the benefits the Alecto will give you. If you are a Webley collector or want the benefits of higher power with multiple pumps, buy the Alecto. I like mine.

The price is amazing, this thing shoots great and I really love it.

Nothing

If it taken care of and doesn't start to leak its like having a Beeman p3

Both that I received seemed to very accurate and on one pump were both very easy to cock and quiet. Think noticeably easier to cock then the Beeman P3 and a bit quieter.

I received and returned two units due to rust on the screws, metal parts and the worst part the barrel. Both units had extremely rusty barrels with heavy patina. This is UNACCEPTABLE on a 50 dollar Crosman much less a 300 dollar pistol.

I will not buy anything from Turk Webley again. Two rusty units is not a fluke. 1 star overall due to this. 2 stars for value too expensive for what it is. Accuracy is, however, VERY good based on my out of the box shooting.

Weight, very lite. Very accurate. I purchased a .22 and it has plenty of power for a pistol. You could easily dispatch small rodents at close range. Also a great target gun. The trigger is awesome. Good sights

I wish they would have used a bit more metal. The poly gun does feel a bit like a toy.

Over all a very good pistol that packs a punch.

accuracy=excellent trigger=excellent power=excellent sights=good overall design=very good build quality=excellent

modified rear sight to remove tiny movement[easy], a removable front sight w/fiber optic option would be nice, a rubber protector for bottom picatinny rail.

great target pistol, at 15 feet its dead on hole through hole, at 30 feet it starts to open up a little, took time to get use to the fat handle, now I like it a lot, 3 power levels make this pistol extremely versatile, no spring=better accuracy, trigger is multi adjustable and the safety is very comfortable to operate, I looked at other pistols but this one seems best for me.

Very accurate, easy to pump. It seems to like almost any pellet.

On mine the nut that the height adjustment screw on the rear sight threads into stripped. I'm not sure how that happened except that the nut is made of a very soft metal. I only had the gun for 2 months when this happened. I put a red dot sight on it so it is still useable but it sucks that I can't just shoot with the open sights.

I contacted the manufactured who was no help. They referred me to their authorized parts/repair companies. I contacted them by email several times and received no response at all. Webley & Scott will not sell me the parts directly so I'm stuck with a defective rear sight. Customer support from Webley is the worst I've encountered so far. Had I known, I would have passed this gun by.

I have had this pistol in 22 cal for two weeks now. It's my first air pistol. I shoot 22 and 45 cal firearm pistols and enjoy doing that as often as I can, not always location friendly thing to do in Illinois. This state is not gun friendly! I bought this pistol because it would allow me to shoot lot more target, seemed to be very high quality and resembled a tradition pistol as far as feel in the hand. To put it mildly, I love this pistol! It feels great, shoots more accuratly than I could ever want and can even shoot inside into a 22 cal bullet trap. Multi pump is great, easy to pump,third pump not as bad as some reviews indicate and I am no powerhouse. Plenty good on pumps 1-2. Tomatoes left in the backyard garden were talking smack about my moma, I blew them away with hollow point 22 cal pellet. Weight is great, if it were all cast, machined steel it would weigh too much. The composite plastic is tough as nails and a perfect application. That knowlage comes from 20 years of Plastics Engineering background.

1. It's a little loud on 2-3 pumps, no problem though. 2. A little costly, you do get what you pay for in this pistol. 3. Hate the grip butt attachment, I don't get it. I took it off in the first 5 minutes and caused no further problems.

Check out the Pyramid airgun cleaning vids. I learned that airguns are much different than firearms in a good way.
Buy this pistol if you want a very quality made product, want to shoot almost anywhere with plenty of muzzel velocity. I put a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot scope with a 1/2" riser to get over the front site. Very nice to use and look at.
This review is based on short term ownership and 2500-3000 pellets shot, I had some time to shoot last week.
Hope this review helps.

I liked the included pistol case, the accessories, and the fit and finish of this airgun.I wish that I could shoot as accurately as this pistol is capable of. I guess that I will have to get more practice in.

Everything is great just the way it is.

When I picked this pistol up it felt like it had been custome-made dor my hand. There are many adjustments for the grip and trigger, but it suited me the way it came from the factory. I made a slight sight adjustment and I have been on target. The first two pumps are relatively easy but the third pump does require a bit of effort. Two pumps is all I need for my backyard range so this could be an all day shooter for me. I always get the ten for ten service and it is nice to know that the pros at Pyramyd Air have checked my pistol over. This service is well worth the money. And as usual, I get great customer service and prompt delivery.
