About the Pardini FPM
The Pardini FPM is a single-shot bolt-action free pistol chambered in .22 LR, purpose-built for the ISSF 50 metre Free Pistol Olympic discipline. It uses the Pardini System bolt for precise cartridge alignment, a fully adjustable two-stage set trigger, an anatomical walnut grip offered in multiple hand sizes, and a micro-metric rear sight with an adjustable sight radius. A new-generation compensator reduces the already-minimal recoil for maximum stability during slow-fire precision shooting.
Pardini free pistols have long been a fixture on Olympic and World Cup 50 metre Free Pistol firing lines, where a single, deliberate shot every couple of minutes rewards a rifle-like trigger and a grip fitted to the shooter's hand.
