Thanks for all the feedback! I had thought that the gas piston eliminated the recoil problem and need for special holding technique (e.g springer); but it sounds clear that I was mistaken. I see myself feeling the same frustration that FlexWagtail describes, if I am not able to shoot it...

Is the Hatsan 95 Vortex Gas Piston Quiet Energy a good choice for my desires below? Anything else you would recommend as an improvement?? $200 budget (or thereabouts) Main use will be critter control (e.g. squirrels, rabbits, etc.) Shot in the back yard (dense suburb) Max range 20 yards...
