Ok, I AM losing it. Just responded to the same question on the general section thinking that I had already responded (I did, in this thread) but ended up thinking it hadn’t so I responded “over there”. Now I see that I DID respond here originally. I think I’m good now. Ha ha ha!
I have several P-17's, 3 Alecto's (all .177), one 1377 and one 1322 (both flattops and modded valves), a pp700 (.177) and an HW44 (.177). When much younger I often used a Ruger Super Single Six to take squirrels. I don't hunt anymore but all of the air pistols I own would be adequate for small game at close range except the P-17's.
