Gamo PR-45 Pneumatic Air Pistol 4.5 mm for Precision Shooting

Gamo PR-45 Air Pistol 4.5 mm

The Gamo PR-45 Air Pistol 4.5 mm is a single-shot pneumatic air pistol designed for accurate target and recreational shooting. It works without CO2 cartridges, a spring or PCP filling equipment. A single movement of the upper cocking lever compresses the air required for the next shot.

The PR-45 is straightforward to use and features a rifled barrel, adjustable rear sight and a grip suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters. This makes it a good choice for anyone looking for a simple air pistol for relaxed and accurate target shooting.

Single-Stroke Pneumatic System

The Gamo PR-45 uses a single-stroke pneumatic system. Each time the pistol is cocked, the air required for one shot is compressed.

The upper section of the pistol is opened and then closed again to compress the air. After loading a pellet, the pistol is ready to fire.

One of the advantages of this system is that you do not need CO2 cartridges, an air bottle, pump or compressor. All you need is the pistol and suitable 4.5 mm pellets.

Single-Shot in 4.5 mm

The PR-45 is a single-shot air pistol in 4.5 mm / .177. One pellet is loaded by hand before each shot.

This suits the character of the pistol well: take your time to aim and fire, then reload and cock the pistol for the next shot. Flat-head match pellets are particularly useful for paper targets because they produce clean, round holes.

Rifled Barrel

The Gamo PR-45 has a rifled barrel. The rifling gives the pellet a spinning motion as it travels through the barrel, helping to keep it stable in flight.

Together with the pneumatic system, this makes the PR-45 well suited to accurate recreational shooting at shorter distances.

Adjustable Rear Sight

The Gamo PR-45 is equipped with an adjustable rear sight. This allows you to adjust the point of impact to suit the shooting distance and your own sight picture.

This is particularly useful for target shooting, where small adjustments can be made if your shots are consistently landing to the left, right, high or low.

Suitable for Right- and Left-Handed Shooters

Unlike the Gamo Compact with its anatomical right-handed match grip, the PR-45 has a more neutral grip. This allows the pistol to be used by both right- and left-handed shooters.

It also makes the PR-45 a practical choice when several people want to use the same air pistol.

Compact and Easy to Handle

With a weight of approximately 800 grams and an overall length of around 27 cm, the PR-45 is a relatively compact air pistol.

Its size and weight make it easy to handle for target shooting and for practising the basic techniques of pistol shooting.

PR-45 or Gamo Compact?

The PR-45 and Gamo Compact both use a pneumatic system, but they are aimed at slightly different shooters. The PR-45 is the simpler and more versatile option for recreational and target shooting.

The Gamo Compact is more focused on 10-metre precision shooting and features an anatomical walnut match grip with an adjustable palm shelf. If you are looking for a straightforward pneumatic air pistol for accurate recreational shooting, the PR-45 is an interesting choice.
