Pardini K12 Junior

About the Pardini K12 Junior

The Pardini K12 Junior is an Italian single-shot pre-charged pneumatic 10-metre match air pistol chambered in .177 (4.5mm). A lightweight junior configuration of Pardini Armi's K12 competition air pistol, it is designed for youth and developing ISSF air pistol shooters, feeding from a detachable compressed-air cylinder charged to up to 250 bar. It features an integrated air pressure regulator, a patented recoil-elimination system in the bolt, a compensated barrel, and a fully adjustable two-stage trigger with dry-fire switch. The junior model adds a removable alloy barrel cover that accepts up to ten 5-gram counterweights so the balance can be tuned to the shooter, along with an adjustable anatomical walnut grip and an adjustable sight radius of roughly 310 to 350 mm.

Pardini Armi, founded by Italian Olympic shooter Giampiero Pardini, is one of the most successful makers of competitive target pistols, and its air pistols are widely used by medal-winning shooters at the Olympic and World Cup level. The K12 line is Pardini's flagship 10-metre match air pistol, and the Junior variant extends it to youth categories.
