[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2209307, member: 110729"] I'm sure the OP has moved on, but maybe someone else is looking for something similar! Air pistols sure are a lot of fun! Most come in either .177 and .22. However, a short barrel either reducer their power, or reduces their quietness! It's just plain physics. I have a separate post about [B]how to balance your priorities between power, shortness, and quietness[/B], and some remedies. Link to that post: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/short-airguns-balancing-the-triangle-of-compactness-vs-power-vs-quietness.272241/[/URL] ▪Most of the shorter models [B]really need an airgun silencer to be backyard friendly[/B] (no tax stamp required), and most of them need a suitable adaptor to 1/2" UNF. DonnyFL sells not just high quality airgun silencers, but the necessary adaptors. [B]▪The power of a .22 PCP pistol is around 12-15FPE[/B].
