I don't have any air pistols....I should get one. I used to have a Diana break-barrel pistol years ago, but, that eventually went kaput. I do have two .177 air (pellet) rifles, though. One is a Gamo break-barrel that I leave in the barn for pest birds and such. My other is an Air Arms Pro Sport under-lever 'springer.' Trigger time is trigger time regardless of what you're shooting. And, shooting air rifles/pistols is not only good training, it's cheap, quiet, don't need a whole lot of area or fancy backstops, and FUN!!
