I'd get the Silver Streak if you can find one. My thumb safety model dates back to the early sixties and still works just fine. Terrific to build up a kid's shoulders. My buddy had the Blue Streak and his finish came off and looked pink. My Silver Streak with the o-ring bolt upgrade and Williams peep is still perfect. I switched to the Beeman Crow Magnum .20 caliber pellets and they kill stuff way better than the Sheridan pellets ever did. Not as powerful as the newer ones, but I like the variable power of being able to pump it from 2 to 10 pumps as needed.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
