Overview
The Feinwerkbau AW93 is a German semi-automatic target pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed for ISSF Olympic sport-pistol disciplines such as 25 m Rapid Fire and Standard Pistol. Built on a blowback action with an aluminium-alloy frame, it features a precisely adjustable two-stage match trigger, an anatomical orthopaedic grip, and an integral recoil compensator and muzzle-flip reducer that keep the sights settled between rapid shots. Introduced in 1993, the AW93 has become a mainstay on European and international competition firing lines.
