Be warned - NYS considers any airgun over 600ft/sec as a firearm. NJ considers all airguns to be firearms.
Now that I'm out of NJ, it's time to necro this thread. No way was I going to the trouble of getting a pistol permit for an airgun, but I live in America now....

People still recommend the 1377? How do people feel about the silent backstops? Any advice on pellets specifically for indoor use?

Ted's hold over recommends using rubber mulch in a box as a cheap quiet pellet trap.
And of course pyramid air is the place for all things air gun.
You may also want to look for a lead dust collector for shooting inside ;)

I think they've gotten pretty expensive.
These are what our local 4-H club uses for air pistol. More accurate than I am for certain. I was going to buy my daughter her own, but as you said they have gotten pricey.
