Overview
The Feinwerkbau P8X is a single-shot, pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) .177 caliber match air pistol designed for ISSF 10-metre Olympic air pistol competition. Built around a compressed-air cylinder operating at up to 200 bar, it delivers a pellet velocity of roughly 145 to 155 m/s and yields about 160 shots per fill. The pistol features a fully adjustable match trigger with a nominal 500 g release, a continuously adjustable sight line from 330 to 400 mm, and an anatomical grip available in walnut, laminate, or polymer in multiple sizes. It is a refinement of Feinwerkbau's long line of championship 10-metre air pistols.
