Beeman Tempest Air Pistol
Beeman Hurricane Air Pistol
Beeman / Webley Tempest Air Pistols consistently rank among the best selling adult air pistols year after year. It is easy to understand why, considering these air guns pack some of the highest velocities available in an air pistol, into one of the most compact air guns on the market.
To make the Beeman Tempest air guns as light as possible without sacrificing any strength or durability, the frame is made out of a high tensile aircraft aluminum. The Beeman Tempest is coated externally with a black epoxy finish that accents its clean lines. At nearly 500 fps in .177 caliber in a very compact package, Beeman Tempest Air Pistols have been a leading choice of air pistol enthusiasts around the world.
To cock and load, simply release the thumb latch at the rear and swing the barrel up and forward to the front of the air gun. A pellet is inserted directly into the breech end of the precision rifled steel barrel, then the barrel swung back down into place. A manual safety is conveniently located next to the right thumb, and the rear sight is adjustable with screw-tension sliders. The grips have a comfortable thumb shelf for the right hand. For left handed shooters, and those preferring the good looks and comfort of wooden grips, Beeman highly recommends adding the optional deluxe combat grips (part #7395) for the Tempest and Hurricane air guns.
The Beeman Hurricane Air Pistol is essentially the same airgun as the Tempest with an extended frame in the back to accommodate a click adjustable rear sight or the included polymer scope mount. Changes to windage and elevation can quickly and easily be made without guesswork, and the hooded front sight makes getting on-target easier. For those preferring the accuracy of a scope, the rear sight can be removed and the enclosed polymer scope mounting bracket can be installed in its place. There are no provisions for mounting a scope on the Tempest.
Beeman HW-70A Air Pistol
The Beeman HW70A Air Pistol represents more than just value for the money, it represents a good investment in the future. These air guns will provide many hours of shooting fun for the entire family for years to come. The simple design of these spring piston air-guns cock just like their break barrel air rifles cousins. The single cocking stroke will generate up to 440 fps, making this a powerful airgun, despite its moderate size and light weight. These aspects alone make the HW70A the perfect choice for air gun shooters small and large to take along on an outing.
Considered a very attractive air pistol, the fine barrel and receiver bear an extremely durable dark blue-black epoxy finish with an unusually high luster. The stock is molded in a deep brown with a durable scratch resistant texture. There is even a thumb shelf in the grip for both right and left-handed air gun shooters making this an ambidextrous design.
In economy air guns, the HW70A has one of the finest triggers available. The two-stage trigger pulls back evenly and consistently to a stop, at which point the shooter knows just the slightest bit more pressure will fire the air pistol. A wide, beautifully grooved trigger blade is machined from aluminum, and adds to the precise trigger control. The Beeman HW-70A air pistols now include an automatic safety on the left side. It is engaged each time these air guns are cocked, and can easily be disengaged (or re-engaged) with the thumb.
The accuracy is very good for sporting air pistols thanks to the full six inch barrel with the fine 12 groove rifling. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, and the hooded post front sight allows for quick centering on the target. The gentle firing behavior of the HW70A is another benefit of the design. These air guns shoot very smoothly, with little vibration, and just enough recoil to get a "sense of shooting." Attractive and fun to shoot, the Beeman HW70 air pistol will make an excellent addition to any collection of quality air guns.
