Good Points: Simple and accurate, fun little plinking gun with the bonus of being good enough to dispatch small quarry. easily stripped and serviced with a readily available supply of spares. the barrel over spring designer means it is at least twice the power of most spring behind barrel air pistols, and being spring powered theres no faff with compressed air or C02. you can also fit a pistol scope with the rail provided.
Bad Points: Maybes a bit weighty compared to other air pistols which are plastic bodied. but its rugged construction means itll last a lifetime, i have an early version made in the 40s and its still shoots well. worst point being there not made anymore
General comments: Forget c02 pistols, there fussy about temperatures and u need a pocket full of gas bulbs, the webleys are the way to go, although it will have to be secondhand.

Nice gun ,well made good looks. Only bad point is the sighting is way off and needs the rear sight as far to the left as it will go. Also when i bought the gun it needed to have its spring changed to one that was not cut..When they come in to Canada (so i am told ) they change or cut the spring to make them weaker and that sucked.Now wit the new spring it is like the one i use to own except for the bad sights.

I heard Webley had gone bankrupt and no longer sells the Hurricane. Is this correct?

I bought the Hurricane Webley&Scott in 1988 and is still as accurate and powerful the day i got it, this excellent air pistol will not let a marksman down, i had it fine tuned for 10 metres target by an Olympic Gold Medalist Shooter in 1993 and you got to own one to appreciate this remarkable air pistol. I never had any technical problems with it other than having it cleaned and oiled at a local gunshop. It is with sadness that production had stopped for this make of its own premium class air pi ...

Webley & Scott Hurricane is an awesome pistol all round good performer with good looks - means you can buy a good product and know it will perform - if they were german it would have a BMW stamp on it somewhere - top quality. Good bit of kit, thats why you cant find them any where. They stopped making then and there was and is a lack of the telescopic pistol sight and mount available, if you have one: I will buy it.

Very accurate and not cheaply made. I take it to my camp in Maine where I have a limited range size and I can spend an hour at a time getting decent groups and knocking cans down from 50 feet with a good deal of accuracy.
I am not sure what pistol would be better overall out there for the money and the power?

I don't own a Hurricane, but my dad does - and he's had it for over 25 years - it's still in great condition and shoots as well as my much newer CO2 pistol despite having lived an active life.
First thing's first - I love this pistol - mostly because it's powerful, accurate (I'll get to that in a minute) and extremely robust, but also because it's so much fun to use. This pistol puts a smile on my face, and I think that this is very important in an air weapon of any kind.
The model I shoot ...

I've got my Dad's Webley & Scott Hurricane .177 that he brought back in 1977, and it still works perfectly fine. He paid £27 for it then, not sure what that is in comparison with today. But the fact that it still works today shows how well it must be built.

I have had the Webley & Scott Hurricane air pistol for many years and it has never jammed once. The pistol is quite powerful and feels excellent in your hand. Also it is not too noisy when outdoors, which is a plus and it's very satisfying to shoot. This pistol should be an excellent choice for anyone who prefers performance over looks.

Just wanted to add a comment about the Webley & Scott Hurricane gun's overall build quality. I bought mine in 1987, 19 years ago now. I've never taken it apart or cleaned it internally, just oiled the barrel every couple of years and it's still working perfectly. There doesn't seem to be any drop off in accuracy or power. One thing though, I paid £78 for mine and that was a good price then, and people are still only paying £100 for it?

The power and accuracy of the Webley and Scott Hurricane are fairly mediocre totally unsuitable for hunting except very close range vermin control.
I would never part with it, there is something slightly eccentric about this pistol that just makes it fun to use.

I have had the Webley & Scott Hurricane air pistol for a lot of years, and it has seen some amount of action. I taught my kids to shoot with it.
I can't fault it, other than when I put a pistol scope on it. It is probably just me though, because I just couldn't get a good sight picture.
Use the open sights and watch the cans fly!!

I bought the .22 Webley & Scott Hurricane new for £100 and what good purchase it was! This pistol looks good and feels right in your hand. It combines style, power and reliability. The black finish on the pistol is excellent. It has a safety thumb switch (always a good thing!) and you even get a scope attachment!
The Hurricane can be used as a hunting weapon for vermin, rabbits & birds or as a target pistol. The Hurricane is powerful. It can punch a hole through sheet metal at close ...

The Webley and Scott Hurricane is an over lever, spring piston air pistol. As with any spring powered airgun other than the RWS mod54, there is recoil, and in the Hurricane the recoil is reversed. This takes time to get used to. Cocking the pistol also takes time to master, and requires a fare amount of effort. What it comes down to is that once you understand how this pistol works and you spend some time practicing with it, you will be amazed with its accuracy and ease of operation. The instruc ...

I own the grandfather gun to the Hurricane known as the Webley and Scott Senior. The gun I have was patent and purchased in 1925 and has gone through only 2 owners, the previous owner passing away. It is the same basic design and has fired perfectly and accurately up until this year (2003) when the spring finally went and is getting replaced as I write this review. An awesome all around gun for anyone interested in the sport of airgunning.

I have had the hurricane now for about 6 months and have found the .22 model which I have to be a solid dependable piece. It will kill a rabbit with one well placed shot every time. It does require one to become familiar with the way it shoots.
