    I've got a Beretta 92 .177 pellet pistol that's fairly new. Velocity is about 395 fps on a single CO2 cartridge. But if I put a new cartridge into a new, lubricated pistol, how long can I keep it in that condition before it begins to lose air? Should I use it all at once, or can I store it for a day or two? Or longer?

    Thanks!

    Yep...that's what I meant. Charged.

    Will try it out. Anyone know what the law is in Montgomery County is for shooting these? I don't think you can shoot them in your back yard, but there ought to be some places one can shoot.

    Thanks again for the answers.
