| Get any of the match air pistols with a cylinder. Very quiet, and absolutely accurate. I have several here from different makes, all shoot extremely well. Get match pellets for it. The kids use them to shoot 22 cases! |

| I had a friend with one of those pistols when I was a kid, it seemed like a nice gun at the time but we always put 10 pumps in it which made an audible noise, but a couple pumps would be pretty quiet. As Saeed mentions, the newer PCP match pistols are quiet and a real pleasure to shoot but in a separate price range. My match pistol is an older (though I bought it new LOL) spring piston gun and it's definitely quite audible so I'd say away from those for this purpose. Also, I'd use an astroturf floor mat on the ground instead of plywood if the purpose is to keep all your used pellets collected.

| I have one of the Crossman's. Very accurate. Pretty quiet with 2 pumps. Still has decent velocity. I really like it and recommend it. |

| I have an older RWS 10M. No recoil and precise. Fun to shoot in the basement and the wife doesn't ask " Honey, were you shooting a canon down there?" That happens when shooting rimfire into the trap. Be Well, Packy. |

| I got the 1377. Three pumps @ 12 feet = dead starling. My blind is the laundry room, two feet back from the window. Using a tripod. Starlings apprarently got the message as I haven't seen any recently.

| Have you given any consideration to the Benjamin Marauder pistol? It’s small, accurate, quiet, and comes with a carbine stock you can add to it. The Crossman 1720T is the .177 version of the same in a field target configuration. |

| My bad, Matt. I replied prior to seeing you’d already got the Crosman. Happy hunting! |

| Get three and have fun with all of them. My Diana Bandit came today and I couldn't see the front sight. I got the whiteout and painted the top one third of the front sight post and that made it clear enough. Good luck with your Pistol. They are fun and addictive. The bandit was real quiet for a PCP. It was only $179 with free freight. Going to be some dead Starlings in the compost I would guess. I suppose they burrow down and can't find their way out. Be well, Packy. |

| I have 2 1377's now, one iron sighted setup and one with a 2X Crosman pistol scope with an aftermarket Stoney Point target turret that I've shot out to 80 yds. with at "stuff". Whatever you do do the trigger adjustment by depressing the spring and reinserting and trying it till you get down to about 16 ozs. or so. So simple and helps tremendously. Don't forget to install a spent 22 case in the top too. Both of mine are down to about 18 ozs. now.

| Took 2 weeks for the starlings to learn that there were better places to find a meal. Being open country birds the were marginal here in the woods anyway and smarter than others also.
