The P1 is a result of American and German co-operation, simply one of the finest, most innovative and exciting air pistols in decades. One of the P1's most exciting features is the dual power feature. At only 11 inches in length, the small size of the air pistol is remarkable considering the velocity.

To achieve the dual power there are two cocking positions. [n the .177 caliber, low power is about 480 fps and high power is about 600 fps. The .20 caliber has a low power of about 420 fps and high power of about 500 fps. The lower power setting is safer for shooting in an indoor range, while the higher power setting is much appreciated on field and long-range targets. Either cocking point is reached in a single stroke. The full-power stroke requires a total of just 18 Ibs of cocking effort. To cock the P1, the shooter pulls the "hammer" back to release the cocking arm. The air pistol has a top cocking arm that moves forward; the low power setting is reached when the cocking arm is at a right angle to the frame. Pull the cocking arm as far as it will go, and it will attain the high power setting.

To make this powerful air pistol accurate, we started with a precision 12-groove rifled barrel. Placed in the cocking arm, the barrel, both sights and the scope grooves are locked together in a single unit. The P1 design also exposes the breech end of the barrel when the cocking arm is up, allowing direct and precise loading, and the deep muzzle recess to protect the critical crown area. The P1 has an ambidextrous manual trigger lock "safety".

The P1 spring piston power plant, barrel and all other critical parts are made of the finest gun steel. The frame is anodized, high tensile, aircraft aluminum with a black, semi-matte finish. The two-stage trigger is adjustable from the 28 oz. manufacturer setting. The wide trigger blade has a grooved surface that makes
the trigger pull feel extra light and gives a smooth, controlled feel to the air pistol, so necessary for controlled let off.

A fixed front post sight and square notch firearm grade rear sight with micrometer windage and elevation adjustments is standard on the P1. For extra precision and ease of shooting, a scope can be mounted on the 11 mm scope grooves that are built into the receiver.

The ambidextrous grips are select grade walnut with genuine hand-cut checkering. The pistol grip and trigger areas are sized to fit just about any Colt 1911A .45 Auto grips available today; this makes it easy for shooters to maintain the feel of their firearm while training inexpensively with the P1. Shooters can be confident that this air pistol will present a reliable measure of their marksmanship skills while training.
