Good Points

Good grips and adjustable rear sight width.

Bad Points

Useless trigger travel adjustment screw... at least in UK.
Very heavy trigger weight.

General Comments

The General Manager of the UK distributor, BSA, has confirmed to me that the trigger adjustment screw of the Gamo Compactis intentionally non-functional to avoid the possibility of accidents when making adjustments. The gun continues to be advertised as having an adjustable trigger though.
The trigger weight seems well in excess of the stated figure of 750g... my estimation is that it is well over double that figure.
The trigger unit is the basis of a match pistol, and it falls well short, at least in the gun I bought.
My advice is to wait a little and save up for the Weihrauch.
