looking for the right pistol--if it exists

[rangur1]

i am not the biggest pistol fan so my knowledge is limited here. was thinking of a pistol for early next year. was ideally looking for a 22-25 cal approximately 20 FPE yield. and a shot count per fill of 20-25. i have seen these 3 so far.

benjamin Prod - 22 cal , no 25 cal , power is ok maybe 15 FPE , decent shots per fill. decent accuracy

weihrach hw 44 - great accuracy , quiet , only 22 cal , about 17 shots per fill. 16-17 FPE. i have had this one before. liked it , but it had it's limits.

airforce talon P - 25 cal powerhouse , single shot , LOUD , need additional moderator. shoulder attachment helps with this gun , more of a carbine. good shot count.

evanix rex p- single shot, don't know this one at all. 

basically , i would be interested in something between the weihrach and the talon p in power , shot count , and loudness that is pistol length , is there one?

Ataman ap16 standard may be worth a look. Don't know about maximum power you can get but should in that 'in between' region you're looking for.

You can buy a small ataman mod for it or alternatively an adapter for1/2inch unf which will improve sound levels

This is the best way to get the TalonP.

Tons of power, QUIET, and accurate. And you get a nice red dot for very little more.

I bought the airgun depot .25 talonp. The LDC it comes with is effective, but make no mistake, the gun when at full power still has a loud snap to it. 


i bought the Airforce ring loc kit to be able to adjust the transfer port size. I don’t need the gun to max out at 50-55 fpe. I’m hoping I can constrict that TP enough to get a max of 30-40fpe. 

heck, I even bought a .20cal barrel direct from Airforce because of the 50% they had on cyber Monday. I plan on posting my results of .25 and .20 cal with the talonp.

The Talon P can be whatever power you want it to be with the Ring Loc kit.

How about the FX Ranchero pistol,check it out...

45cal A little over kill but very nice to shoot!
The second one is more maybe what you are looking for, By the way have a look at a tuned Artemis pp700SA .22cal, I have a tune shooting to 23fpe with a 25 grain slug from hollowpoint.

i'm still researching , came across this one , is it any good? Hatsan 25 cal AT P1 quiet energy pistol. saw it on top airguns.

20 FPE for a pistol is a tall order.

How do you like this one?:

Fx Ranchero .22 reg. Custom

JSB 18,13 grn. 

Max power 823 fps. = 27 ftp

Medium power 685 fps = 19 ftp

Low power 542 fps = 12 ftp

Hatsan AT-P1 as you previously mention, or the P2 "pistol" carbine. Probably come closer than anything else since .25, repeater, shroud. Shot count is just under 20 but Hatsans respond to tuning very well. Like any Hatsan, capable of good accuracy but check crown and leade, plus it never hurts to give a good cleaning. Cost considerably less than the HW-44 or Ataman. There's the Brocock Ocelot but pricey and not .25... but out of all the "more pistol than bottle-carbine" offerings, the Hatsan is closest to the mark and offers the most features out of everything. If .22 is truly acceptable, go PRod and power-tune.
