I know the 177 flies fast and straight, but it isn't really pleasant to shoot.
The HC in .177 will never as pleasant to shoot as the full length due to the very short barrel. They're actually quite harsh in comparison,to a .22 or full length. Because the barrel is so short you get a fair bit of piston slam. The lighter the pellet the more noticeable. Apart from the balance shot cycle wise the full length is far more refined to shoot
