Overview
The Hämmerli FP 10 is a Swiss single-shot free pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, built by Hämmerli of Lenzburg for the ISSF 50 metre free pistol precision event.

It succeeded the Hämmerli 160/162 free pistols and was itself later replaced by the FP 60.

Notes
Free pistols are fired one-handed at a distance of 50 metres. Barrel length confirmed at 34 cm; empty weight is approximate and consistent with the free-pistol class and its longer barrel relative to the successor FP 60.
Background
The FP 10 continued Hämmerli's long dominance of Olympic free-pistol shooting; the company's precision single-shot .22 target pistols were the arm of choice for many 50 metre pistol medalists through the late 20th century.
