    i just aquired a Webley Tempest .22 2nd hand. i thought i would check out web for feedback on the gun. hence hitting this site. now i wouldnt kill a fly & it quite sickened me to see comments like i shot a sparrow & a starling (both birds in serious decline). why on earth do people feel the need to slaughter harmless wildlife for fun? the gun? great, still puts a hole in a tin can & feels real compared to some of the chinese rubbish out there. but please don't kill for fun its sick & per ...

    Webley Tempest .22 is an excellent pistol it has never let me down. I bought it 5 years ago and have found it to be pretty accurate. The model I bought is the 22 5.6 which means a heavier pellet giving it more accuracy than the standard 22 5.5. This pistol I ave used on many occasions for vermin control either for a quick shot for a moving target or a finishing shot after a long range shot from a rifle (50 metres or so for R's 30 for F's).

    As a teenager my webley tempest could enter an empty coke can and leave via the other side of the can whilst leaving the can standing in it's original place. My friends air pistols only lightly dented the cans,knocking them over if hit in the right place. I'm now in my 40's but will never forget the amount of fun or the quality, power and the accuracy of this gun. Truly a pleasure to own!

    i had the Webley Tempest .22 for 20 years with no complaints. it has a good feel when holding the grip, and shoots very well for my use.

    Very good pistol for begginers and pro's, pretty accurate, works well with air arms pellets. overall very good gun. i have had my webley tempest .22 for a month and nothing has gone wrong. Rear sight could be better, sometimes cocking is hard but normally easy.

    Good weight and balanced right. Good penetration at 35 ft. Fairly accurate very dependable. The sight could be better but on the whole i think the Webley Tempest .22 is a good gun

    The quality of the mechanical engineering is of good solid build on the Webley Tempest. In my opinion it is great for all beginners and seasoned hunters.

    Good little plinker fires at 4ft lbs max (tin cans etc) probably the best spring pistol ever, a real legend but rust's easy so must be cleaned and oiled.

    I've had my Webley Tempest for 3 years now and its as good today as it was then, its simply a classic and i will never get rid of the thing, for the past few months it has been laying in my bedside draw along with my g-10 repeater but the other day i got it out for a plinking session in the garden and it never fails to amaze me what a punch it still packs. I shot a starling and a sparrow within the space of half an hour and i just love the thing overall.

    This (and its sister, the Hurricane) is the last incarnation of a webley design that goes back to before WW1. Webley wanted to design a gun that would weigh and feel like a full bore pistol in the hand, and recoil like one (hence the barrel being over the top instead of inline like contempory pistols). This they tried to sell to the armed forces for teaching pistol shooting, and every boys club, scout group and cadet force in the british empire must've had one at some point!!

    Not much has ch ...

    I ordered a Webley Tempest in .22 caliber as soon as I found out that Webley went into receivership. Too bad, the British really know how to put together a durable and long lasting pistol. As you can guess, I am a Webley fan. It took me 8 shots and I was hitting the 9/10 ring at 10 meters. It just feels right in my hands. It inpires confidence and I hit what I aim at. I have a .177 caliber Webley Tempest that I purchased a couple of years ago and it is the same in regards to fit and feel. ...

    I have just been given a Webley Tempest which had been in someones locker for four years. The owner gave it to me in exchange for writing him a CV! And what a find. The weight sits very comfortably in hand and the sights needed no adjustment. I really enjoy shooting it. Just one thing, the condition could be better but I guess it shows that even though it hasn't been looked after, it still is a magnificent pistol.

    I got one of the Webley Tempests .22 for my birthay and man was it hard to pump! But when I hit a target you could hear the power of that thing! I personally think that it is good in every way. But dads/moms, don't buy it for your kids. Too much power thay might kill themselves. But if they are smart and safe with a gun the .22 can is less prone to bouncing of hard targets. The 22 is also best for hunting!

    The Webley Tempest is very reliable. You could shoot this pistol for years and years ,then give it to you your kids to shoot for years more, well balanced, cocking the pistol takes a bit of getting used to, accuracy is good if you practice. These pistols get better with use, I have put thousands of shots through mine and they are smoother now than when new ,they don't wear out, they wear in.

    I bought the Webley Tempest .22 air pistol when they first came out (and I had hair). You can't really fault it. It is pretty accurate, fairly powerful (approx 3 ft/lbs), and good fun. I lost count of how many pellets I've put through it a long time ago, and all with no problem. Wipe with an oiled cloth, and put a bit of oil on the moving parts.

    I bought an Webley Tempest .22 this morning at a car boot sale. It looked a right shed of a pistol, but I've always fancied one of these so I handed over a few quid and looked forward to a bit of work.
    Initially it was a bit rattly to fire as a test, so on with the stripping!
    It took quite a while to find suitable drifts to remove the roll pins that holds these pistols together, come on Webley, this is just lazy on a weapon that retails for over £100.
    Everything was cleaned out and all ...

    Why not improve your Webley Tempest .22 like I did with mine? I bought my .22 a few weeks ago and overall, I really like it. The sights are "adequate" rather than good though. My gun shoots high and to the right, but is fun to use. Okay to the mods...
    I stripped the gun and polished the terrible trigger and sear contact faces. This transforms the release quality. C'mon Webley, it took me 3 minutes, why can't YOU do it? I then moly-greased the moving parts and the gun feels better overall now. T ...

    After only having the Webley Tempest .22 Air Pistol a few days I am feeling dissapointed. With the rear sight all the way up it still shoots low! This is due to poor design in the spring/piston powerplant. The spring is compressed towards the front sight and when released drives the piston towards the rear of the gun. This is opposite that of most guns which causes the gun to rotate forwards instead of the typical gun rotating backwards about the center of gravity. If a heavy enough pellet ...
