About the Gamo Compact
The Gamo Compact is a single-stroke pneumatic target air pistol chambered in .177 (4.5mm). Manufactured by the Spanish airgun maker Gamo, it is designed for precision 10-metre and short-range target shooting, delivering match-grade accuracy from a single charging stroke of its top-mounted cocking lever. The pistol uses a rifled steel barrel, fires a single pellet per loading, and produces a muzzle energy of under 7.5 joules at around 120 m/s, keeping it within sporting air-pistol power limits.
Gamo, founded in Barcelona as a lead-shot manufacturer in 1959, became one of Europe's largest airgun makers; the Compact has long served as an affordable gateway into single-stroke pneumatic match shooting.
