To cock you have to release the barrel from the “stirrup” type latch. There is a section of machine turning on the barrel which is gripped in the left hand whilst the right thumb pushes in the release latch rearward and the barrel can now be moved upwards.

The piston is now completely compressed and a pellet can be popped into the breech end of the barrel which is then returned to battery.You can un-cock by holding the barrel fully open, and under control, release the trigger and slowly decompress the spring - watch fingers your fingers.

There are simple open sights, a shallow fore sight which is nothing more than a raised notch with the rear sight being a leaf blade with square notch that can be adjusted for height and windage via two large securing screws.

The trigger is a smooth finished black metal curved trigger blade that combined with the very nice and comfortable hand grips with thumb rest allows a good constant trigger pull. Pull weight is adjusted by varying the spring tension on the return spring from 3-5 lbs, as such this model broke at 4.25lbs so nice and safe. Adjustment is made via a hole in the trigger guard once the trigger is cocked, turn the adjustment clockwise to increase trigger pull and anti clockwise to lighten it.

The safety is a manual affair and cannot be operated if the pistol is not cocked. When done so the large toggle safety lever sited on the left hand side in front of the thumb rest is pushed upward to engage to conceal the visiblered dot for fire mode.

Speeds of around 500fps
