Spring piston air guns usually bring it a lot better than CO2 and you never run out of air. I've got a Beeman pistol that I like, a P1, although it's a bit big and heavy for hiking with. Not to mention underpowered compared to even a .22.
I think Krein created a forum just for air guns- need to search my bookmarks to find it but as a general rule you want something spring powered if power is what you want although you can get a really sweet looking FEINWERKBAU modèle P44 which is known for its accuracy and competitive features at a pro target level.
Spring action air pistol tend to be very large and recoil more than co2.
Are you looking for a plinking, hunting, or target pistol?
I enjoy the Crosman 2240. There are lots and lots of mods for this gun. They can be made VERY accurate and VERY powerful. You can even get a customized one through the crosman website.
Here is my Custom Crosman I have changed the LPA sight to a williams since this picture was taken. It shoots very tight groups and works well on small game.
This gun has:
custom RB grips
trigger stop
adjustable trigger
10" barrel
williams rear sight
Fiber optic front sight
steel breech and custom bolt
.22 caliber
modified valve
