With £620 to spend, you'd get a very competent vermin control combo - S410+scope for example. Delivering 11ft/lbs into 20mm circles all day long.
You wouldn't bother with a sub 6ft/lb pistol.

They've dropped a massive Teutonic bollock with the 44.

*decent, responsible shooters (humane, close range dispatchers of captive quarry excepted).
It would probably be ideal for professional pest control in roof crawl spaces, tower-block air conditioning, etc clearing city feral pigeons, where a rifle would be too cumbersome.

But I agree, in the open pistols are not for hunting,
