What is a good CO2 air pistol?

Like the title says, looking for a good light weight, fast (400 fps+) accurate pellet pistol to pack for grouse.

It's been debated here before as its less than 500 fps its not a firearm and legal.

It's not debatable. If it is under 500fps, it is not a firearm requiring a PAL to purchase. If you use it to commit a crime, however - you will be tried as if it was a firearms offense.
A good accurate air pistol, I'd recommend the walther PPQ, or CP Sport. Both reasonably cheap, and very fun to shoot. Quite accurate too, for an air pistol.

Crosman 2240 or Crosman MkI .22

Crossman 2240. Not much can top it. Customizable and a great bargain to boot. I like the punch of .22 caliber as well. Too bad we couldn't have a little more without the hassle...
