    2007 Turkey made model - brought this Webley Typhoon as a first air pistol on a bit of a whim with no research - felt very solid and £70 was thought quite reasonable compared to other pistols on display -but basically NOT a good pistol - instead of solid read very heavy - sights awful - very innacurate even with a red dot sight - pellets seem to fly off in all directions except where aimed (despite screwing the recoil part to stock as suggested in earlier review)- the recoil jolt managed to shake the red dot to pieces -literally bits fell off it!
    i have since brought a HW40 (2nd hand £75 bargain)and the difference is amazing -the HW40 feels plasticky and light but boy is it accurate and a real pleasure to shoot.
    AVOID THIS PISTOL - pay a little more(or 2nd hand) and get anything else!
    MADE IN TURKEY -IS A TURKEY!

    i agree fully with all that,s been said,but i have also had trouble with the Webley Typhoon front sight being out of balance to one side. The old models certainly have my vote of preference .

    I am in the fun fair business and i bought 5 webley typhoon air pistols , and within the first hour of using them one started to jam, and within the first 3 days 2 wAs conpletly out of action! i returned them the shop where i purchased them, and then finally 5 weeks later they replaced them! i used them for one day and i now have 2 jamming when cocking and one wont hold when loading... i think webley needs to do something about these pistols!!!!!! another problem is that webley do not have any ...

    Might look good but its a piece of junk, bought it on a friday. back in the shop on saturday. paid a little more for a weirauch hw 40. worth every penny extra.
    Its noisy. heavy, unbalanced, uncomfortable grip, if you shoot left handed the safety catch sticks in your hand.

    I tried one of these Webley Typhoons at a local airgun shop and after shooting it I can say this is the worst air pistol I ever shot. Even the less expensive Chinese pistols shoot better. I have been shooting air guns for over 45 years and This is not the old Webley Quality of years back.This gun needs a re design to bring it up to putting the Webley name on it.

    The first thing to strike me about this gun was the plastic sights, bulky poor quality plastic sights with poor adjustment, upon cocking the gun I noticed that the semi recoil moved considerably and this caused problems when firing as it begins to move as you pull the trigger.Targeting the pistol it became immediately apparent that the pistol was seriously under power to the point that it was dangerous to use, a pistol that can not piece a back stop and rebounds the pellets is a dangerous gun to ...

    If you want to turn this gun from a lucky bag toy into a proper serious pistol, just drill and screw the front of the stock both sides to lock it! 100% better...... try polishing the trigger mech too feels much smoother.

    I have turned my Webley Typhoon from a badly made lucky bag toy into a great air pistol by simply drilling and countersinking two holes at the front of the stock and locking it with two screws (looks very proffesional).
    Try it now! 100% better! they should have just moulded the stock as one solid piece and not wasted time developing the rubbish recoil that does not work.

    Brilliant. I'm now thinking about buying some older pistols, or I may just stick to my BSA lighting. That has never let me down.

    This Webley was made in Turkey and it resembles a hair drier and it is no where near the quality of the older models, and the barrel break action is not as easy to cock as the over the barrel Webley's. I still bought one for my collection anyway IF YOU'RE A PURIST THIS AIR GUN IS NOT FOR YOU..

    I bought the new Typhoon just a month ago, and I love it. It fires well, and it can penetrate a paperback book to a depth of ninety five pages at a distance of 18 feet. And could hit the target at 30 feet with some impact.

    As a dyed in the wool Webley/BSA fan and collector i felt a bit let down by the latest offering. I put the new typhoon on the table with my junior, senior and 1981 tempest and just fired them one after the other until i felt certain what it was that it was not liking. My main gripe is the rear sight does not adjust to zero at 10 metres on my .177 model this is in my mind a serious flaw and must be remedied. The second is creep in the recoil slider.
    As you pull the trigger but for a 50 quid air ...

    I have owned a my Webley Typhoon since 1978 and have had lots of fun over the years with it. It's a powerful weapon and could easily be used for close-quarter vermin control. The sights are good and it is accurate. I hadn't used the gun for ten years or so until tonight when I did a test with the pistol, which still has its original spring. I fired a shot into a novel and checked its penetration: 82 pages were penetrated in all at a distance of 10 or 15 feet. Not bad ;)
