Self Defense: A realistic looking air pistol is enough for most self-defense situations you'll come across.
While they're less CO2 efficient, we feel that the added realism is worth it.
Blowback Action: CO2 pistols with blowback action simulate the recoil of an actual handgun, which makes for a more realistic shooting experience.
The single-loading air pistols are usually more powerful and accurate.
Magazine: Most air pistols will come with at least an 8-round magazine.
Hate to break it to you, but the "1000 FPS Air Pistol" is a myth - you need a rifle for that kind of power. Larger pistols shoot up to 700 FPS – those are your PCP, break-barrel and pump pistols - but they're often single loading and bulky.
Power: The maximum you can get is ~ 480 FPS with a regular CO2 pistol.
Steel BBs are common and cheap, but pellets are more powerful and accurate.
Ammo: Air pistols shoot either pellets, BBs, or both.
But if you need an air pistol for pest control or serious target shooting, you're better of going with a break-barrel or pump air pistol for more power and accuracy.
Types & Uses: CO2 air pistol is the "jack of all trades" of air pistols and a great starter gun - we recommend starting from these.
Powerful PCP pistols are more expensive and will cost you at $300+ ( Benjamin Marauder).
Price: The sweet spot is around $90 for a reliable air pistol ( Gamo PT-85), $40 if you're on a budget ( Umarex XBG) and don't mind having a plastic construction.
