Gotta disagree with any comparison between .22 air guns and a centerfire round. A .22 air gun has a tiny kick. About like a .22LR in a rifle.

Still, the sear release is pretty similar, if you have a decent gun. Crosman 2240 is OK for a cheap .22, just don't leave it sitting for long periods with a cartridge in place or you will be sorry.

And I don't care what an airgun looks like, if it's made for accuracy. I care how it feels in my hand, how the sights line up when I'm holding it, and how it shoots.

I do have a CP99, and it's a lot of fun. But not too accurate.
