    I'd say the 92fs hands down but if you already have one then probably not worth getting another. I used to have a nickel one with walnut grips, I loved it. It feels so much better with walnut grips, they are thicker than the plastic ones
    I specialise in tuning smk 78 and 79 range of co2 guns... interested? send me a pm...

    to get same/slightly more power as co2 will be 1 pump, which is just opening the casing and placing the pellet in, only thing is it aint multi shot...saves you on co2 though

    I was thinking 92fs myself but then on the other hand I've had 1 so would be good to try something different.
    I no what u mean about the Alecto mate but defo want a multishot.just don't like pumpers or single shots so Alecto is defo no good for me.

    I've owned the first 4 on your list. The Smith is way ahead of the first three primarily because it readily admits to being a revolver so works as one instead of being a revolver hiding in a semi auto casing trying to sucker the user into thinking it's a semi. The Smith has better power, a better trigger and therefore better accuracy as well as being much nicer to use. The Witness is bb so has all the usual bb drawbacks.

    s+w 586/686 is the best and most accurate of the ones mentioned in my humble opinion
    the 92fs and cp88(4") are great fun but nowhere near as accurate as the s+w's however i believe the cp88 competion is a very accurate pistol,more accurate than the standard cp88 due to longer barrel and fully adjustable rear sight
    i would still go for the s+w though
    i had my mint s+w 686 with 8" barrel up for sale a little while ago but there was no interest so i kept it

    I purchased a 586 yesterday from Eurosaber and today I used up the two CO2 bulbs testing it at 10 mtrs. The accuracy is outstanding for what it is. Rested I placed 10 shots within a 2" circle. If I wasn't able to produce that sort of accuracy I would have sold it on quickly but as it is I'll keep hold of it and practice some more. It is a chunky weapon that's for sure. Not sure if the auto style is capable of that sort of accuracy.
