whats a good air gun pistol

[matt bradley]

Looking to get a good strong air gun pistol for pest control in the barn, any suggestions would be help full.

Weihrauch HW45 in .22.
Powerful enough to waste any small barn pests.
Fairly accurate as far as pistols go.
Has a rail to put a reddot on it.
Runs about 340$ and I strongly suggest getting a reddot.
DL Airgun carries them
Heres a pic of mine, I shot it for years, but sold it last year. It killed many pigeons, crows, magpies, squirrels and even a couple of rabbits.

I would second the HW45.

If your on a budget, then a Crosman 2240 can be had for 80-90 buck. Its CO2 however.

For rodents i would use a pellet rifle but for fun, the umarex sa177 is great. Lots of power and blowback but not really accurate. Buy one for $60 just pure fun........

I think that the HW75 is one of the best made.

The HW75 for practice, then the HW45 for the job.

Crossman Backpacker .22 will get the job done for around $100.00 but it's a bigger gun.

My vote goes to the Webley Alecto...available in both .177 and .22.

I have both the crossman 2240 and backpacker at an original cost of under under $160. Upgrades are fairly cheap and alot of components are interchangeable. Barrels can be added for $40 and go up to "24. Bought one steel breech for scope or red dot mount as well as a FTP for the backpacker ($40 each). The stock works on both guns and both can be used as a pistol. Accuracy potential of both are better than I am but still manage grouse with the backpacker every year. I would go with the 2289 for pest control & use the 2240 more for plinking.
