Anyway, and for what it's worth, either calibre would be fine for you. The HW 45 is well able to knock down or drill holes in cans in either cal I do have a preference for .22 but that's because I own a Black Star in this cal. However, if you plan on doing any target shooting then .177 is arguably the better choice.
The only time I shoot cans is use to use up any CO2 remaining in my guns after a session - don't like to put those away without removing the cartridge.
To answer the poster who asked what I shoot at with the guns in my sig, the answer the monthly UBC competitions. Monthly, as I said and I enter a lot of the classes they do. Great fun. I shoot on my outdoor range at 6 yards. Can't quite do 10 mtrs yet (some UBC comps at that distance too) but working on that. All internet based so just send in your results by e-mail. If you like shooting fast then Police Pistol is 'challenging'.
