Ataman airguns are known for their outstanding quality, exceptional reliability and cutting-edge technologies. The legendary expertise of Russian gunsmiths stand behind every Ataman airgun in addition to their state-of-the-art production and the superior materials they use to construct the guns.
Fine craftsmanship and excellence is evident in every aspect of this pistol from its Lothar Walther barrel, to the adjustable trigger, lightweight versatility, and power.
For the ultimate in shot-to-shot consistency, the integrated pressure regulator ensures the Ataman makes the most efficient use of the remaining air supply. Because of the regulator, the Ataman AP16BSM delivers more shots per fill and it features a stunning 4,350 psi (300 BAR) fill pressure. With up to 20 shots per fill, you'll enjoy the consistency of shooting.
The two way adjustable trigger allows you to adjust the first stage travel and second stage release point, while you can customize the pull weight to your preference.

Above all repeatable accuracy and a very adjustable trigger.
Things I would have changed:Was very loud ... was until I got a moderator & adapter from dony-FL. The safety can sometimes be engaged & trigger pulled will automatically fire when the safety is disengaged.
What others should know:Grip customization is easy because almost all 1911 pistol grips fit including wrap aroud or (houge)rubberized grips & some crimson trace that is if you make room for the safety.

What is the difference in design and function of the two fill probes for the AP16?
One is 1/8" BSPP threaded and the other is a male foster fitting.
Has anybody done a moderator impact test to determine the level of difference it made? If so, what were the results? The noise seems to be one of the biggest issues with using this as a backyard target gun.
Where can you order a moderator for this air pistol?
You will need the DonnyFL adapter (https://www.pyramydair.com/product/donnyfl-ataman-ap16-pistol-1-2-x-20-adapter?a=9823), and DonnyFL sells moderators.

Accuracy, overlapping holes at 20 feet while shooting from a rest. The fit and finish is very good.
Things I would have changed:The safety is hard to work. I prefer the style of safety on the Beeman p11.
What others should know:I have gotten 14 shots per fill. That is very good but not as good as advertised.
