    You're probably as well going .177, that way you'd be allowed to use the range at most clubs if you visited one.
    You'll get higher velocity and flatter trajectory too which can make things easier once you get to grips with it.
    Me, I never choose the easy path

    .22 more satisfying for plinking makes bigger holes in tin cans and much better for knock down targets

    I got a .22 but really wish I got a .177.

    Nothing wrong with the .22 I just prefer .177, and the ammo is a lot cheaper.

    .177...

    I recently got a 45 in .177 - as previously stated the flatter trajectory and cheaper ammo were big plus points for me. The .22 might give tins slightly more of a smack but they still seem to know it when a .177 hits them Mine makes my spinner target spin like a crazy thing

    I do like .22s in general but prefer to make the most of the benefits of .177 considering the lower power pistols produce
