Air Pistols by Brand

At the end of WWII, the Allied Forces placed many sanctions on Germany. One of these sanctions prohibited the manufacture and sale of rim fire weapons. Due to this, the ingenious Germans developed what we now know as the air pistol. Because this type of pistol uses air to propel a slug instead of gunpowder, the Germans could manufacture the weapons while remaining compliant with government sanctions.

After the development of the air driven pistol, gun clubs around Europe started hosting shoots that focused on the use of Air pistols. This ensured the development of the competition grade air guns that we enjoy today. Europe is not the only place where we can enjoy competition shooting. The United States has countless air pistol clubs that cater to those who enjoy shooting these highly sophisticated and highly accurate weapons.

Over recent years, military groups, local law enforcement and tactical enthusiasts have all taken a shine to the use of air pistols for routine practices and on-filed exercises. These weapons serve this purpose nicely because they usually have adjustable velocities, which make them safer to use than standard rim fire weapons and the cost to shoot is far less than traditional firearms. Using air pistols and air rifles during tactical maneuvers allows you an entire day of inexpensive fun. Air pistols make an excellent sidearm or back up weapon for anyone interested in the sport.

Air pistols are also an excellent choice for younger shooters that still need time handling pistols before they graduate to higher caliber rim fire weapons. Because of the slower velocity and smaller projectile sizes, these guns allow youngsters time to learn and to get comfortable firing a pistol, which greatly increases safety for everyone. In fact, many children who start learning with an air pistol maintain their love for these wonderful small caliber guns.
