I have the same gun. Second one actually, as the first one went kaput. They’re not super accurate at any great distance, but it’s legal to play with it in my backyard. 😊

I have this little Beretta Elite II I mostly use on camping trips.
It’s pretty fun, never failed. Had it since 2016 or so.

You'll shoot your eye out kid. Jk grew up on 10 pump Benjamin Sheridan. The Gamo offer is nice with the break barrel and 22 cal. Target shooting is fun. No old bbs for me or the turkeys.
I have a Gamo break action too first shot went thru and thru my redwood fence and traveled 25 more feet and still put a dent in my steel carport 🤷‍♂️

I have a Crossman 2240, they have a lot of "aftermarket" support. You can easily turn a $75 air gun into $600 tack driver...

Damn it, now i gotta go look for one of these. I have a couple Air toys that we can legally shoot on our property. My 30 year old rifle is not accurate enough at distance to use as a practice tool. This might get the job done. How loud is it? Bonus, looks like it is ambidextrous. I'm left eye dominate and trying to improve my left hand position.

The pistols are really good for muscle memory and habit making. It's cheap fun. My FIL laughed at me when I pulled out the Co2 pistol. He said you'll never hit hat target with a BB. He quickly changed his tune.

Fact. I took out a coyote at about 40yrds with one. Was a head shot though. Was definitely unexpected. Hadn’t planned on having to put a body in my residential trash can. Haven’t shot at one since lol

Because its not a “Firearm” its legally silenced. The sound of the gun is not very loud, but the impact of the pellet on soft tissue is alot louder than most think. If pretty loud thud noise. But note… I shoot mine all the time in my neighborhood. Sniping pigeons of my neighbors rooftop. I dont think any has ever truly caught me in the act, but they do notice the dead pigeons in their back yards, and tell me to shoot more of them, beause they are sick and tired of all the bird shit on the house.

Yes, you buy can parts to convert them (FX Impact) to left hand.

Factor in a Amazon PCP air compressor for $350-$450, to charge the gun to 4000psi…
Once you have the gun/air compressor, a box of very high quality pellets is like $18/350 pellets. LOL… shoot all day…

Taking out squirrells, pigeons, coyotes… thats fun…

PCP air rifles come in lots of calibers and some have interchangeable barrel Systems. I prefer 25 cal for lots of reason, but have thought about going to 35 cal, for bigger critters… I will leave it at that.

That (above) is an Airforce Condor 25 cal (I couldn't type text in for some reason). Very accurate up to 50 yards. 1300 fps. Silent & accurate. I don't use it for coyotes because I have to reload for every shot. My Ruger 10/22 is my go to for semi rapid firing. This is my rabbit & ground squirrel gun.

I have the same Sig. People freak when I pull it out to plink.
Fun fact about our first BB guns.
Growing up in an hunting family we all got Red Ryders for Christmas. Of course the first thing my cousin did was go out and shoot a sparrow. It was THAT Christmas Day when my grandfather taught the you kill it, you grill it lesson. We got to watch our cus eat song bird. lol

Thats what I started with, still have it, but it leaks air and needs all new gaskets, been sitting for 5-6 years that way.
Need to find a local high school kid to donate it to… see if he / she can get it up and running …

The new Sig compared to the Crosman's , what a difference in size and weight , Weve use the Crosmans for back yard practice , The Grandson loves the "full auto" But Grandpa hates loading Mags 😂

We had a lot of fruit trees on my dad's property. Birds were a big problem. My dad would send me out in the front yard and load my pockets full of pellets and put on my bird vest. I got pretty good with that old Benjamin Sheridan. Should have seen his face when my bird back pocket was full. Those birds knew there was a 10 year old sheriff in town. Lol
