Single-Stroke Pneumatic (SSP): One smooth pump per shot; quiet, consistent, low recoil—ideal for indoor practice and pellet testing. Example: Beeman 2004 Single-Stroke Pneumatic Gun.
Multi-Pump Pneumatic: Adjustable power through multiple pumps; good feedback and no cartridges needed.
PCP Pistols: High consistency and refined triggers; suitable for accuracy-focused shooting.
Spring-Piston: Self-contained systems that introduce a small recoil pulse and benefit from a stable hold. Example: Umarex Ruger Mark IV .177 Pellet Air Gun.
Pellet pistols may use single-shot trays, inline pellet magazines, or rotary clips in 8- or 10-shot formats. Confirm compatibility and keep spare clips available. Seat pellets flush—using a tool if needed—to protect skirts and maintain grouping.
.177 suits paper and precision; .22 offers more short-range impact. Wadcutter pellets cut clean holes; domed pellets offer all-round accuracy; pointed and hollow-points fit short-range tasks. Explore Pellet Ammo.
Pistols may use 11 mm dovetail or Picatinny/Weaver rails. Compact red dots and low-profile scopes work well—browse Optics/Scopes/Lasers. Adjustable sights and predictable SA/DA triggers support stable accuracy.
Use approved lubricants on O-rings and transfer-port seals, clean rifling as needed, and remove CO₂ cartridges after sessions unless otherwise specified. Use certified eye protection—see Goggles—and pair your setup with a pellet-rated backstop.

CO₂ vs SSP — what should I choose?
CO₂ offers fast follow-up shots but loses power in cold weather. SSP pistols are quiet and consistent—ideal for indoor paper targets. Choose CO₂ for realism, SSP for low-noise precision.
.177 or .22 for pellet pistols?
.177 suits paper and tight groups; .22 provides more short-range impact. Choose based on distance and target type.
What pellets work best?
Wadcutters suit paper; domed pellets offer stable all-round accuracy; pointed and hollow-points fit short-range use. A sampler helps identify what groups best in your pistol.
