Hämmerli AP40 Balance .177 PCP Air Pistol

The Hämmerli AP40 Balance is a precision .177 caliber pre-charged pneumatic air pistol developed for ISSF competition and structured target shooting disciplines. Building on the established AP40 platform, the Balance configuration adds a tunable weight and balance adjustment system that enables the shooter to shift the pistol's centre of gravity to align with their hold — a meaningful performance advantage when maintaining a steady unsupported aim during competition rounds.

The AP40's match trigger is fully adjustable for weight, first-stage travel, and after-trigger performance, allowing each shooter to calibrate a release characteristic that supports their individual technique without external modification. The regulated PCP system ensures consistent pellet velocity throughout the air charge, removing velocity-induced trajectory variation from the shooter's variables at 10-metre competition distance.

The ergonomic anatomical grip accommodates right-handed shooters of different hand sizes, contributing to a natural, tension-free hold that reduces fatigue during extended competition or training sessions. The Balance variant's additional weight management hardware allows targeted fore-end or grip balance adjustments without affecting the fundamental shooting geometry.

Designed to ISSF specification and suited to national league competition, the Hämmerli AP40 Balance is the choice of serious competitive shooters who require a reliable, finely configurable match pistol and the quality assurance that comes with the Hämmerli name.
