A close examination of the Beeman P3 Air Pistol reveals a high quality, high-tech air pistol. The P-3 design will give you a solid feeling of the world's finest semi-auto handguns - the look and feel of guns which are the choice of the top military and police forces of the world. The Beeman P3's likeness to a fine firearm is quite astonishing. The Beeman P-3 even sports a simulated decocking lever, a magazine release button, a trigger guard shaped for two handed firing, and a cartridge ejection port.
The Beeman P3 is the first quality air pistol to be made from the same types of hi-tech polymers that many new 9mm and .40 caliber firearms pistols are now being produced with in Europe and America. The Beeman P3 is also a marriage of the finest ordinance steel critical parts wrapped in super strong, fiber-reinforced, space age polymers like the famous Glock and latest Walther firearm pistols. The very reasonable price of these air guns represent a manufacturing shift to a more efficient, better method of construction, rather than any reduction of quality. These air pistols are simply in a completely different league than the lower grade plastic or cast pot metal air pistols - even ones of higher price that depend on gadgetry features, such as inaccurate rapid fire, for their sales appeal. Not only does the P3 air pistol represent a quantum leap in material technology, but it benefits from functional evolution of valves and other key internal features. The P3 looks and feels like solid German quality.... and it is!
Pulling back the simulated hammer, allows the top frame to be swung up and act as a cocking lever. Just swing it forward, insert a pellet, and then push it back in place to compress the air charge - an smooth, natural action. An automatic safety prevents sudden closing or accidental discharge. The Beeman P3's top frame contains the beautifully rifled steel barrel, and both the front and rear sights, all as a single rigid unit. The sights cannot get out of alignment with each other during cocking. As a single stroke pneumatic, the Beeman P3 air pistol has absolutely no recoil or spring jump. A built-in muzzle brake prevents any tendency for muzzle flip. Couple this steadiness with its wonderfully crisp trigger and you have an air pistol which just naturally shoots accurately offhand - not just from special testing clamps. Practice very quietly and inexpensively with the Beeman P3 until you can place all your shots well, and you'll be able to shoot even more accurately with your regular firearms pistols. The P3 is not only a practical air pistol, but it is just a joy to shoot!
