What is the purpose of a “concealable” air pistol you might ask? The one that immediately comes to mind is training. Air pistols can be fired indoors—with a proper backstop, of course—which allows you to more easily practice drawing, firing and handling. They can also be used as training tools in gun safety/CCW classes or demonstrations and are especially useful for introducing new shooters, or those who are recoil shy, to handguns.
