Does this count as a pistol?

Yes, that counts! Here's my version with a newly installed TKO moderator, which is perfect. This is my set up for curly-tailed lizards. They are fat, ugly and invasive. Took out 4 earlier, missed one. Should have posted it in the "headshot" thread ;-).

Too hot to shoot outside, so broke out my 3 springer pistols to shoot dots at 15 feet in my air conditioned garage. Off-hand so I didn't actually hit the dots ;-), but very close with the FWB 80...

I looked lovingly at my GK1. I have some new neighbors who seem like they won't have any problem with it, but I haven't mentioned my habits yet and don't want to freak them out right away, that little can does not do enough to make it friendly sounding. Still a bang as opposed to a "chuff".

So I shot a Magazine with the .22 Empire XS. It is a perfect airgun for my yard - powerful enough to be fun for plinking, consistent POI, report sounds pneumatic.

Good morning Mr.P…yes new neighbors can be a tricky issue…fortunately I live in a very cool and noisy neighborhood..they knew exactly what they were getting themselves into…Most of the time they don’t even know when I am shooting…even at 1 am…I will take a few shots with the slingshot…now that it’s around 4th of July…it’s almost a 24 hour thing around here…the bottle thing was a experiment…90 psi in a plastic bottle went off like a 44 mag…I love your GK1…If I was going to do one last build it would be that…but I am on the fence about spending another 3K for a PCP…I have so many now I don’t have enough time to shoot them all…but if I did it would be something like this

Out today with my Silhouette pistol and a giant scope to see how this gun does at range.
I shoot this gun at 10 meters indoors in winter and it’s a tack driver.
So how did it go??
I tried the 7.3 and 8.4 pellets and both were near 500 fps so I wet with 8.4 cranked it up and it was shooting 510 in the sweet spot.
At 10 yards it’s spot on . At 15 yards it is still just pellet on pellet all from a bench rest.
At 25 yards where I initially zeroed it was pretty good . I definitely one hole if it was paper. I’m shooting spinners with fresh paint.
At 35 yards things start to drop. Like three dots down but consistent. I am able to lob a group under a quarter.
At 45 yards it’s six dots down and after a couple shots it was more and I only seemed to tap a wiggle out of the spinner.
On the field target range I have the reactive targets you have to shoot to reset.
At 15 yards no problem . At 25 yards still no problem. At 35 yards it will knock down the kill zone paddle, but if you don’t hit the paddle just right it won’t reset . At 45 yards it took ten tries after refilling to the sweet spot just to see the pellet bounce off the paddle.
So I would say 25 yards is about it for anything shooting under 500 fps.
