A match grade air pistol is at least as accurate as any cartridge firing pistol, plus the build quailty and shooting/handling qualities are excellent.
Another thing you can do is shoot on plain, blank paper so you can focus on sight alignment.
Here's a couple of my practice targets. The first one is probably my best ever 10 shot - 10 meter group. The second is more like my typical targets.
The air pistol is a Pardini K58.
