Okay, I need some recommendations for an air pistol.

There is a coyote in our neighborhood. I am a little surprised by this, we live in a high-density single-family house area with only some urban parks around. But I saw him last night, got to within 40 feet. We have cats, so I don't like it.

I want to get an air pistol to carry on my night-time walks, so that I can plug him the next time I see him. Yes, I'm aware that discharging so much as a BB gun in city limits is against the law.

Here's my thoughts:
- Needs to be accurate enough for a 6" diameter target at 50 feet. I can do that easily w/ the Glock, but have no experience w/ air pistol accuracy.
- Something inexpensive. I'm going to spray paint it blaze orange anyway.
- As quiet as possible.
- Not concerned with "killing power". I don't care what damage I do or don't do to this guy. My goal is to make him avoid my block. I might just use my paintball gun but doubt it is accurate enough.

Recommendations?
