[I have a Taurus TX22 semi-automatic pistol. I have shot the Super Colibris in it. While they do not cycle the action, they feed very reliably if you manually cycle the action.

With a suppressor attached, they are BB gun quiet out of the pistol.

They have good accuracy out to 10 yards, enough for small pests.]


Isn’t that mediocre for a .22?

Pistols are inherently more difficult to shoot, but the extremely low velocity of the super colibri rounds means they start becoming unstable after about 50 feet or so.

30 ft is a good working range. I might chance a shot to 50 foot, but would probably try to get closer. They use a 20 grain bullet at about 500 fps. About decent airgun power.
