If you mean air, all target air pistol is 4.5mm (.177), if you mean .22RF, pistols,which other than those over a prescribed length are banned in the UK. If you mean long barreled or free pistol (also over the length by the use of attached bars) then you should consult the NSRA.

Not quite, the use of .22 air pistols is approved NSRA Rules for 20 yard pistol competitions. All targets are scored using a .22 gauge so there is no disadvantage in using a .177 air pistol. For 10m competition then the calibre is restricted to .177 and the pistol will normally comply with ISSF Rules.If you mean air, all target air pistol is 4.5mm (.177),
The targets used for NSRA 20 Yard pistol competitions are PL15 or PL15/09 centres.9.2 PISTOLS
