I received my new 2300T this week, it's had a few cosmetic changes by the previous owner which are nice touches I think.

It seems a solid pistol with the tube, barrel, breech etc in steel.  I think the grips frame is spelter?

The grips are American maple and felt a little loose on one side, but I removed (lowered trigger tension) and refitted and all good.

At present I have the original front sights on as its too big for my biggest pistol case, is there a good make/type for these?

I shot with it for the first time this morning, only indoors due to noise (perhaps a threaded flip,instead of the ported one it has next purchase).

So this was the first shots, 10 per target at 5 meters and I have to say I'm pleased.  I've adjusted the mim sights (http://instagram.com/p/X4YaFnkQs8/   ) as was hitting left but didn't want to adjust in test as just seeing consistency.

I shot a total of 65 but was unable to unscrew the cap which I assume is the pressure, not wanting to risk a pellet stuck I then dry fired another 6 times and it allowed me to unscrew.  Almost no hiss and the canister was not particularly cold (which I see with other co2 pistol I have freezing).

All in all, loving it and can't wait to get on the range to try longer distances and perhaps some pistol knock downs. :-*

Nice pistol Mr. Baz  :-*..That is a unique-looking tube rear cap..Brass is hard to beat I have a 2400kt w/ brass decors but it's a pain to maintain the shine  >:( but polish always I do lol! Best regards.

When tweaked, the 2300 series are terrific pistols.

Nice one Baz  :-* :-*

I get a loose grip sometimes on some of the ones I buy, sometimes it is the screws are a tad too long and they meet in the middle.

Loving the look with the brass. You just need one of Matt's doofers now with a sight pin.

It's amazing when you get a good barrel what these are capable of. Trick is finding that barrel. Looks like you have a keeper! Looks good too!
