No SMK without fire

SMK has added a new airgun and a new pistol to its famed line. The Custom DB5 airgun is a souped-up version of the DB4, with a sleeker and more stylish finish. The new springpowered, underlever air rifle is available in both .177 and .22 calibre and sports a highly crafted, ambidextrous hardwood stock with chequer panels. We’re so impressed by its spec – it even boasts a special, hidden feature in the shape of a highly sophisticated air transfer port incorporating a cone-shaped breech – that we’ve got one on the test ranges already. Check out our full report scheduled for April’s issue, on sale from Thursday, February 21. It’ll be in gun shops any day now, priced from £89.95.

Meanwhile, SMK’s new XS26 pistol is an update of the ever-popular S3… except this one’s in a completely different league. With a spring-driven, break-barrel action, it’s a .22-only affair, offering hard-hitting performance in the palm of your hand for a price that won’t break the bank – it’s just £99.95.
