Hi. Can anyone recomend a good air pustol that i could use for dropping pidgeons at about 20yds? thanks

None. An air pistol isn't suitable for shooting live quarry at any range, let alone 20 yards. Even pigeons deserve respect. Get a rifle and practice on targets first.

.44 magnum is my choice for pigeons... Apart from that, most pistols are for the range, on the 10 meter PAPER targets.. The HW45 pistol is not bad, but for the money you`d be better off with a decent 2nd hand rifle.

I have an HW45 and I can't see myself using it for hunting. There isn't enough power left at 20 yards (or even 10 yards you might argue), it is VERY hold sensitive and I cant get one inch groups at 20 yards and the scoping options are limited. Now it has a konus 2-7 scope but even with that it's hard to be precise when punching paper. I have to agree that a rifle is the only option.

I'm not going to cover myself in glory, but this is my best attempt at precision with my HW45 and FTT this morning (two hands hold) .

 

 

 

List of excuses:

- too much coffee

- just cleaned the gun, it probably needed more pellets to settle down

- I need to clean that gun as it diesels a couple of times during every session

- zero not set for 20 yards

 

I know the pistol can do a lot better than this, but it is quite hard to master. Regardless of all this, chairgun shows that it just doesn't have enough power. I like it because it is so heavy with the scope it make shooting it a nice workout.

Refreshing to see such sensible replies.. So many of the groups on facebook are full of those claiming to take rabbits at crazy ranges with pistols.. I would say that the power is only half the problem, as someone who once had to use a browning 9mm on a regular basis, the skill involved to hit anything at 20 yrds is beyond most people...

Go on then. I'll take the bait. Why did you have to use 9mm Brownings on a regular basis smudge?
