    Default Training with co2 pistol??

    Recently got a new neighbor. A neighbor who apparently is "uncomfortable" with the sounds of .22 pistol practice in my back yard.

    In the interest of reducing hassles in life, I am wondering about the feasibility of training with a co2 pistol.
    Can anyone comment on their experience with such training... i.e accuracy? trigger weight? sights? most importantly, less noise than a low velocity .22 LR?

    Thank you.

    Or put that money into a suppressor?

    I bought one from Umarex https://www.umarexusa.com/pellet-pistols It's identical in dimensions and weight to my S&W 617 6". Trigger is very closely matched. Even comes in a blue S&W type case. lets me shoot in the basement. BTW, thanks for the reminder, I have not had it out for a while. Fun to shoot.

    I asked about a suppression at my local gun store. Explanation I got was it costs a lot. It takes months. I do not have a .22 with a threaded barrel. He suggested low velocity .22 LR ammo which I tried. Still a bit louder than I am seeking.
    Otherwise, a good suggestion.

    The new neighbor needs to adjust to the environment HE MOVED INTO.
    You don't need to change to suit his wishes.

    Shake my head... this is why the liberals are running the show.

    Sorry if it's not the info you were looking for, but it is the info you need.
    I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

    Ah well, such is life in a "Home Owner's Association". Previous neighbor had little interest in what happened near by. New guy has a great interest in being "in conformance with the rules". Looks like this is the New Normal.

    OK. Nevermind. That's different then. You got what you knew you were getting when you moved there.
    I guess the party is over.

    Your new neighbor? Do you gain anything tangible by complying with their wish to be "comfortable"? Pull out the 44 Mag. They'll be begging for the 22lr.
