For your stated use I vote Crosman 1701P. It will get it down. Put some Walnut grips on it if you like. Excellent true pistol.

Hello @maxtroubleThe HW44 / HW110 platform is available in left and right handed configurations. Reflex or red dot, both very capable out to fifty yards. Sparrows do not come any where near the range any more!

That first picture of the beeman with the black grip i like its look vs the bulky wood ( not that wood aint good)...I have a Beeman 2027 - $118 and it outshoots my $400 Prod / Benjaman Marauder Pistol as far as group size goes for almost 75% less $$. You might consider that or as already suggested, a Bandit (Airbug or Chaser) to see if you like shooting a PCP pistol, then get something fancy if you do. If you don't, convert it to a folding stock rifle with the Buck Rail full kit for a tiny backpack gun.
I like the look and the feel of the Beeman 2027 with a Buck Rail AR style conversion on it better than the wood grip that comes with it. They are only $20 including a GI style grip. You may want to trade the grip out for something different. There are hundreds of styles out there.

Images below are with the full Buck Rail treatment. You could just add the fore end if you weren't interested in a shoulder stock, but I like it better without the fore end when set up as a pistol.

If I were to talk myself into a $1K plus PCP pistol, I would want the following options, though they might not exist in a current production gun.
Easily shootable with one hand
At least a 12 round magazine
Semi auto
8 ounce or lighter trigger
Easy scope mounting
Standard threaded moderator installation
50 shots without refilling
1/4 MOA accuracy at 25 yards
Enough energy to take small game
I think I would also enjoy owning a 10 meter ISU / Olympic match ready pistol such as what is offered by FWB, Hammerli, Morini, Gehmann, etc., to shoot in the ISU rules summer games each year.

Hello @MotorheadOwn quite a few pistols of different types and uses .... for the Pistol Field target game I put together a hybrid custom using a BSA Scorpion single shot and some "Ultra" parts. Made for one mighty fine shooter and gets about 55 shots at 12 fpe.

Mmm...the PP700SA and the Ocelot are "clones" ?I had forgotten about the Artemis PP700 mentioned above. If you don't mind single shot I've read many posts about how nice a pistol it is. It is a clone of the Kalibrgun Ocelot.
Hello @MotorheadHad fun with this one ... rebarreled in .25 cal. gets @ 30 shots at @ 16 fpe ... fun pistol for sure !
