What to get, need suggestions!

Well this just showed up at my home via FedEx with one extra mag, the box felt kinda empty but when I opened it up there it was and I was surprised how light it is, with my health issues I was surprised I could hold it straight out without any bad neck pain and it’s balanced pretty good, now I need to put my BSA scope on it and see if it’s still holdable ( new word of the day ) without any pain, now I need to get out and shoot it. Need to add that the grip fits my hand just right, thought it was going to be to big but surprise surprise.

I like that I’ll be able to make room for two tins of pellets in the case if I want to, might give me a reason to try one of my hand pumps again rather then hauling a tank around but I can hook my 90ci tank directly to it if I want. It would be nice if I could use the case with a scope mounted but I can work around that with a different case I have if need be.

Took a few shots with it tonight into a tree stump just to see how it was and I like how quiet it is, weight wise with the scope it feels like my G17 but with zero recoil I like it and now tomorrow I’ll get back out to my range and see about getting it sighted in with the BSA 2-7x28, I went out to my range earlier but spent 3 hours on the mower, 2 more hours I’ll have it all mowed and then get serious about getting it zeroed in at 25 yards, I put up a new target so I’m good to go now. Pellets - Pistol - Full Air Tank - Check.



Edit..

For some reason this pistol makes me want to by a springer, something like a 34 or R9.

.......sounds like the new one 'triggered' a chain reaction or maybe even 'a binge' , but wanting a classic piston gun is honorable ..... i'm wanting one of those ..22 banditos now. 14 shots for that tiny air cylinder isnt bad. 12 ftlbs is about a low i'd wanna go, but for the price, it was right. lets see how these newer chinese barrels work nowadays. cant too bad if diana is letting china make anything after dianawerk got that global ass-chewing for outsourcing barrels for the german-made diana 350's and 34's about 9 yrs ago.... people were PISSED... and i guess your bandito has a dovetail mount where the rear open sight is - that is for me - cant see past 12 yards with open sights..... you never really explained how quiet it was when you tried it in the back yard. maybe you could compare it with a .22 tko stage 5 device or something... and then the accuracy , which could be a problem - looks like a removable 'pickle', tho.... i'm not a big pistol guy, but i'm interested to see what you think about accuracy and quietness if you get around to finish sharing about it. - paul.

Hey Paul, We ended up having bad weather up to about 2 pm so I didn’t get a chance to shoot it today, I sat in the house and filled my 3 air tanks then found some Elmer’s board and put together a couple targets to shoot it at, I ended up finishing my mowing at my range after the heavy rain and hail storm so I’ll try again tomorrow to check it out, I’m not a big air pistol person but I read a lot about guys shooting them inside during the winter. As far as sound goes it just plain quiet to shoot maybe some air sound but other then that it’s kinda like my sons Daisy BB gun but without the twang I guess you could say, it’s all new to me so I can’t compare it to the other airguns I have, .25 .30 .357 .45. Will see what happens tomorrow and maybe I’ll have a zeroed 5-10 round 20-25 yard target to post up for accuracy.
