About the Hämmerli AP20 Pro
The Hämmerli AP20 Pro is a single-shot 10-metre match air pistol chambered in .177 (4.5mm) and powered by a 200 bar pre-charged pneumatic system. The Pro is the premium tier of the AP20 line, fitting a 3D-adjustable walnut competition grip, an aluminum cylinder with pressure gauge good for roughly 150 shots per charge, a fine two-stage mechanical match trigger, and fully adjustable open sights with a rotatable front element. It is built for ISSF Olympic and ISSF-style 10 m air pistol competition.
The Hämmerli name has been synonymous with precision target shooting since 1863, supplying Olympic and world-championship pistols for over a century. The AP20 Pro continues that lineage as a modern entry-to-mid level 10 m match air pistol, giving competitive ISSF shooters an adjustable, low-recoil training and match platform.
