Good beginner pcp pistols?

I like my pp700, super quiet and surprisingly accurate. Mines 177 does good on squirrels!

I'm looking for a pcp pistol that is compact & not too expensive.

Mice plague my backyard.
Hello @Spizzud

I have a .177 Bandit and two Snowpeak PP800R and they are very accurate and just plain fun to shoot. The local squirrels don't like them very much.

My .22cal PP700 has taken more critters than any of my other guns.... — it's so versatile, tuned at 16FPE for 15.89gr, it can do a lot in a tiny package.


$215 from Krale, plus around $50 shipping. No tax.


😆 Yeah, you can really upgrade stuff with
▪︎a detachable folding stock,
▪︎a Huma regulator for more long range consistency,
▪︎a bipod rail,
▪︎a silencer (with 1/2" UNF adapter),
and more....

I own 2 pp800's but I would recommend a 700 above those. One is technically a "bandit" and this is the trimmed/refinished wood grip on my pp800. Bandit wearing pp800 stock which also converts to pistol. And some stock upgrades from UK.

Main issue I have is the wood grip is too big (which I fixed) and synthetic grip is too slender in pistol format. But fine in carbine format. And unregulated, the power curve tends to be pretty wild. Starts out very high and rapidly declines. The bandit is now regulated, but it is a custom regulator config that took some serious work. 50 shots @650fps with 8gr. Pp800. is 25 cal with upgraded valve/ports and only gets 2 shots per fill now. But almost 50 fpe. And 65fpe with 15" barrel.
