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.

Thanks. I had assumed that subsonic rounds did not suffer from range issues until much further. That’s a real eye opener.
