I already have an air source. I've been shooting rifles for years, but I don't know much about 10 meter pistol, hence the newbie questions.

The cylinders will have a date on them, usually expressed in either MM/YY or a Roman Numeral/YY. The Roman numeral will represent the calendar quarter of manufacture. This is a reasonable question to ask. $725 seems like a screaming deal. I'd pounce on it, regardless of the date on the cylinder. Make sure the grip is the size to fit your hand, though. A new grip will run $250, drastically reducing the discount of this pistol compared to new.

John, I think you're right about the price on it and I figure if I decide I don't like it for any reason, I should be able to easily get my money back when selling it. I already spoke to the seller on the phone and he said it has a medium grip. He said he has fairly large hands and it fits him well, so I should be in good shape since I have medium/large hands. Thanks for bringing that up to me, though. It's always good to think of everything before buying. Thanks again for the comments.........
