Let me know how loud that is when you try it out.

how loud is an air pistol?

Let me know how loud that is when you try it out.

At 460 fps it should be pretty quiet. My rifle is almost as loud as a regular .22.

Mine seems to be pretty loud.

Afternoon gents. Beautiful day.

So was to have minor surgery- trigger release, my 6th. Arrive at7:45. Surgery about 8:30. About half hour surgery, about half hour “recovery”, should be out 9:30, 9:45. Wrong. Previous surgery ended up being extended due to complications so about :930-9:45 I finally got to surgery. Next problem mine ended up not so simple. Ended up putting on a tourniquet at shoulder & a Lot more cutting downward from upper palm, etc. but still wasn’t corrected. Ended up cutting upwards from original cut and took out a tendon from hand to middle joint of middle finger. So much longer surgery than planned. Now bandaged up much more than was planning. Normally 3 days to remove, this 1 is 10 days, keep clean, dry, etc. Doesn’t fit my lifestyle. Anyway so just got home



and right hand and am right handed. I think it is time for a pain pill but gotta find my wife cause I can’t open the bottle. I foresee a fun 10 days lie ahead.

Howdy Hardscrable. That doesn't look like any fun at all! Hope you heal up quickly.

Tuesday I see a surgeon about my gallbladder.
But, at least it won't interfere with opening the pain pill bottle.
Hope everything is good with your recovery.

What kind do you have?

 

[actaeon277]

I had to go to the closet and dig mine out.
I thought it was a crossman, but apparently my memory sucks.
It's a Benjamin Sheridan model HP, .17 cal.

I don't remember it being very loud.

 

[Hardscrable]

I will be fine, been thru much worse many times just not according to the way I had things planned. Doc told my wife I am restricted from working around home, just rest and recoup. Told her he will release me a day or 2 before my next fishing trip in July. She didn’t fall for it. But I wont be trim mowing, string trimming, etc.

Remington Vantage 1200

Remington Vantage 1200

That's a mighty big pistol!

 

[actaeon277]

I remember the time, a neighbor's cat kept coming in my yard to poop.
I was so intent on pumping the pistol to shoot the cat, that my finger got between the lever and the barrel.
YIKES!
FYI, I only pumped it a few times. I was intending to scare off the cat, NOT to kill it.

One of the reviews I read about the Crossman I got warned about pinching your fingers when pumping it.

You only do it once.


Well, unless you're REALLY slow learner.

I don't have a pistol, but have thought about getting one. In the city limits even a pellet gun is illegal to shoot, although I do, a pistol would be a little less obvious.

When I was in the LGS this week, there was a young fella, maybe mid to late 20;s that was looking for his first gun. He was looking for cheap and maybe a revolver. So he was looking at this Taurus. He was just a mess walking around, going back and forth looking at a couple of others. Poor guy.

Hard to believe I used to be able to shoot my .22 and even my 12 gauge here and nobody thought anything about it. Didn't do it a lot, but on occasion.

FYI, my Savage bolt action with a suppressor is quiet.
