Pump Pistols
Air & Pellet Pump Action Pistols
Pump pistols are a popular choice for many shooters and hunters. They have been around for decades, but they never seem to lose their popularity. One of the most important things about them is their affordability. You can find a pump action pistol that suits your needs in an affordable price range. That makes them perfect for beginners or those looking to add another pump action pistol to their collection without breaking the bank! Compressed air reliability, remarkable accuracy, and a built-in pump make a multi-pump air pistol an ideal option for your shooting needs.
What is a Pump Air Pistol
A pump pistol is an air gun with an onboard air pump that fills an air chamber, using compressed air to propel a pellet toward the target. These multi-pump pistols allow shooters to vary the power by changing the number of pumps they use to fill the air chamber. The less air they pump, the less power they'll charge the gun. This versatility makes them suitable for different shooting applications, from indoor target shooting to small game hunting and pest control.
How Does a Pump Air Pistol Work
Before a pump air pistol will work, you need to fill it with compressed air by pumping the lever, usually located beneath the barrel. Each pump adds air to the compression chamber. Depending on how much pressure you want to use, you'll pump the lever between 3-10 times. When you have enough air in the chamber, load a pellet into the breech, seating it well by pressing it with your thumb. When you pull the trigger, the compressed air is released by a valve, propelling the pellet through the barrel and down range.
Why Should I Buy a Pump Air Pistol
Pump pistols combine simplicity, affordability, and versatility, making them an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced shooters looking for a reliable and self-contained air gun option.
Multi-pump air pistols are cost-effective both in the initial purchase and with ongoing use since they don't require CO2 refills or external air tanks to fill them. They have adjustable power options, simply by changing how many pumps you use to fill them from 3 to 10. They are quieter than other powerplant models, especially with the lower power output. And they are easy to use. Simply pump, load, aim, and fire.
Pump pistols are suitable for indoor and outdoor target practice, developing shooting skills, small game hunting, and pest control.
