When you see and hold the P3, you
know that you have a serious air pistol in
hand. Its design, and even its weight and
heft, gives a solid feeling of the very best
in the world's semi-automatic handguns:
the looks and feel of guns which are the
choice of the top military and police
forces of the world. The similarity of the
P3 to a fine firearm is astonishing: it even
sports a simulated decocking lever, magazine release button, trigger guard shaped
for two-handed firing, and cartridge ejection port and the muzzle opening is an
awesome 9mm (.38) caliber! A very solid
rail is built into the top frame.
The P3 is the first quality air pistol to
join the ranks of the now elite polymer
firearm pistols now being produced in
Europe and America. That is, it is a marriage of the finest ordinance steel critical
parts wrapped in super strong, fiber-rein-forced, space-age polymers like the
famous Glock and latest Walther firearm
pistols. The very reasonable price of this
airgun represents a manufacturing shift to
a more efficient, better method of construction, rather than any reduction of
quality. This air pistol is simply in a much
higher league than the lower grade plastic
and/or pot metal air pistols, even ones of
higher price that depend on gadgetry features, such as inaccurate rapid fire for their
sales appeal. Not only does the p3
embrace a quantum leap in material technology, but it benefits from functional
evolution of valves and other key internal
features. It looks and feels like solid
German quality, because it is!
Pulling back what appears to be the
hammer allows the top frame to be swung
up as a charging lever. Just swing it forward, insert the pellet, and then swing it back to compress the air charge; an easy,
natural action. An automatic safety prevents "beartrap" closing or accidental discharge. This top frame contains the beautifully rifled steel barrel and both the front
and rear sights, all as a single rigid unit.
The sights cannot get out of alignment
with each other during cocking. As a single stroke pneumatic, the P3 has absolutely no recoil or spring jump. A functional,
built-in muzzle brake prevents any tendency for muzzle flip. Couple this steadiness with its wonderfully crisp trigger and
you have a air pistol which just naturally
shoots accurately offhand - not just from
special testing clamps. Practice, very quietly and inexpensively, with the P3 until you
can place all your shots well and you will
be able to shoot even more accurately
with a good fireann pistol. The P3 is a
practical air pistol, but it is just a joy to shoot!
