Sometimes I don't hit quite right with my air rifle and it's not a good feeling. Suggestions on a pistol I can chase with or run up with to solve the problem from close-up, hopefully darn reliably with a single shot?

Cheap but reliable/efficient squirrel ender?

An Artemis P700 in 22 would work and you can keep the flip out chamber loaded and just cock the hammer when you are ready to shoot.
I would think even a cheap Crosman Vigilante at very close range could do it. That is really fun to plink with too. Has Higher velocity than most co2 pistols.

Are you talking pistols, Enkey? As far as I know those guys don't even make pistols outside Edgun, and Edgun is too much money for point blank range.

Thanks -- vendors for a U.S. version that goes higher than 5.5 fp? I also see the PP750 for 4 bucks USD more. Has extendable shoulder stock, which I wouldn't get at the cost of a lesser gun overall, but appears to use a magazine instead of being single-shot. But the top is totally different; not sure if the 750 would take a picatinny or other scope, look smooth. What do you think?
I do like the idea of the Vigilante at 1/6 the price, thanks for that suggestion. I really need just a finisher most of all. I don't want to keep beating on the guy. But you are confident this will bust a squirrel head close-up?

Well you have 10 point blank rounds of VIGILANTE reasons to finish him off before reloading with a fresh magazine.
The 750 is up to you but you specified single shot that's why I recommended the P700. I shoot me P700 more than my P750.

I meant the power of a reliable one-shot kill, not that it had to be a single-shot gun.
So why do you shoot the 700 more than the 750? I'm curious that they would have two products within 4 bucks of each other. Usually that can only happen when the more expensive product has more cheap(and often useless) bells and whistles to boost the price up, but the basic quality is lost -- plastic parts instead of metal, etc.

The Evanix AR6 looks like an interesting gun I would like to shoot. My budget is not unlimited, though, and I am spending a lot lately, so I am looking for something cheap. And 25 is too much for standing over a squirrel. I'd be afraid of ricochets that close.

My 700s (plural) are more accurate than my 750. I have another 750 incoming in another caliber and hope it's at least as accurate as my 700s I got multiples both calibers.
All about the accuracy that's all.

The AR6 comes in 22 caliber and you easily externally shim the hammer to lower the power to P-Rod power or less if you choose. Its like a revolver for quick followup shots 6 round magazine fast as you can pull the trigger like the Vigilante.
If you miss him at point blank with the AR6 he will probably die just from the very loud blast due to shock of the loud concussion.

You could just unscrew your DonnyFL and beat it to death instead. His LDCs are THAT HEAVY AND TOUGH LIKE A MAGLITE.

Okay that's good to know. Both of them look like a lot of fun to shoot, but once someone starts talking inaccuracy, something inside me dies.

My 750 is not inaccurate, it's just not as accurate as my 700s. When I receive my other 750 then I can determine for sure which model is more accurate for sure or if I got 2 out of 2 consecutive lemons. Well not lemons just sub par shooters. What do you expect they are Chinese.

Ah just so you know. Dog treed a Chipmunk. That 777 put 4 Wadcutters in the poor thing at literally 1-3' and he was still getting ready to jump on my face.
My Mastiff kept it treed, while I reloaded. 5th shot w/ a CPHP aimed low, in the eye, dropped dead. I think 6-12ft/lbs is enough. At least 6ft/lbs.
