The gun's heft and balance convey quality and substance. It fills your hand without feeling bulky or oversized. The unusual overlever cocking mechanism compresses the powerful mainspring, and the hammer is actually the catch for it. Highly adjustable two-stage trigger, which has a serrated surface for more control, will help you extract maximum accuracy from the P1. In fact, the adjustable trigger is so crisp, you'll wish it was on your firearms.
The dovetail grooves are extra wide, and our accessory list has several 11mm to 14mm mounts that are known to fit.
Unlike many modern air pistols, the P1 isn't made of molded synthetics. It's a solid metal gun with finely checkered walnut grips. And, it's ambidextrous. The 11mm dovetails make it easy to mount a pistol scope or a red dot sight.
The P1 has two power levels. The different power levels are created by cocking the gun to different lock points. See the detail shots to see how to cock the gun for high power and low power.
The distance you shoot, the weight of the pellet and the type of target will let you determine which power level is best. The P1 is an excellent indoor trainer for those who shoot the M1911A1.

Trigger is excellent. Ability to dry fire is a bonus. Weihrauch quality is excellent and the gun is not pellet picky
Things I Would Have ChangedPlacement of the safety is awkward
What Others Should Knowexcellent gun.. my go to garage gun
Easier to stroke than the p17. No effort is required to close the gun like the p17 the whole stroke for cocking the piston is upon opening. I don't love slamming my scoped p17 closed.
Things I Would Have ChangedTru glow open sights. Or at least some dot setup that's just my opinion.
What Others Should KnowYou can put any 1911 grips on it. There is no clearance required on the underside of your grips, as would be required on a CO2 1911. These are landmarks, I'm sure not many workers are required to run the tooling to pop these out but they are well designed and rugged.
Great Solid Pistol with Great smooth Trigger !
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing
What Others Should KnowBought this Refurbished and is Better than my first P1 that was New ! If you see Refurbished just buy it ,you can't lose anything. Mine have alway arrived in New Condition and never a problem !Thanks again to PA for another Great Refurbished Air Gun !
Looks good feels good in the hands and sighted in with 5 shots at 14 yards open sights free handed the recoil feels like a real gun when I shot this pistol I put a 4x4target on a box and all 5shots was on the targetI read this pistol has to be broke in if that is true I cant wait this pistol is well made it cost a little bit but you can tell what you have when you hold it easy to operate easy to load easy to sight in cant go wrong with JSB pellets

What Others Should KnowI have bought many guns from pyramid air, and this is my first review pyramid air is the best people to deal with and purchase guns from. They will help you in any kind away you need I recommend them for all your air gun purchases.
Very nice refurbished one that looks almost new! Fires well and I've clocked it at similar fps to Pyramid's test shown in their $10 for 10 shot test!
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing
What Others Should KnowWell made pistol, worth the money!
Great gun. Very accurate. Looks Great Looks like a real firearm. Suggest shoot in a inclosed backyard or a makeshift indoor range.
Things I Would Have ChangedIt is a perfect air pistol.
What Others Should KnowHave extra breech o'rings they do get cut and cause a lot of problems.
I was ready to send my gun in for repair but I discovered my o'ring was cut and missing a small section.
Keep the hammer greased and the barrel will click smoothly.
Quality made pistol in every way! Yes its expensive but if you've had enough of the cheap Chinese junk then take the plunge you wont regret it. This pistol is dead on I only raised the sight a little bit after 200 or 300 rounds, was all over the place before that, don't know if it was me or the gun. Feels awesome in the hand, sweet trigger, balanced, looks good, not hard to cock once you get your routine down. All metal construction (including the trigger and sights) none of that fiber optic junk, real wood grips.
Things I Would Have ChangedA better manual would be nice but I'm sure i can get what ever info i might need from the internet I'm just old and like real paper manuals.
What Others Should KnowI shoot indoors mostly in the winter at 10m. Ive gone through just under three tins of pellets of various brands so it's just now getting broke in, then i will start experimenting with different brands of pellets and see if one is better than the other. The FPS is right around 400 to 430 with different weights The speed is coming up as the spring gets settled in but I don't know if I will get to the rated 460, with a super light pellet it probably would be there now. Shooting 14 to 18 gn. I bought this P-1 instead of the HW 75 because it has more power and I wanted .22 caliber. I like springers they allow for no slack in your shooting technique.
Quality on par with almost any firearm. I really like the nostalgic 1911 look & feel. Very powerful & accurate. My P1 is in .22 and shoots well with the RWS Hobby 12 gr. ammo. Even low power yields a decent 3 1/2 ft lbs and is noticeably quieter.
Things I Would Have ChangedA bit loud for me in high power producing 5+ ft lbs. Low power is quiet and smooth.
What Others Should KnowSights are very good and the trigger is excellent. It is adjustable but was just fine for me as-is from the factory (probably 2 1/2 or 3 lb pull).
Excellent fit and finish. An accurate, hard hitting, high quality pistol that's built like a tank. Lots of aftermarket grip options. Crisp 2 stage adjustable trigger. I've read much about this gun over the years, and now that I finally have one, I see that all the positive reviews are true. This is a great gun.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe odd sized 14mm dovetail limits your optics options. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.
What Others Should KnowThe pistol takes a bit of getting used to, and is very hold sensitive, but once mastered, it's a great shooting gun. The grip frame is indeed identical to a 1911A1, which opens up a ton of aftermarket grip options. I've read that the .22 version only has one power setting. Mine is a .22 and it does come with the dual power settings. The trigger is adjustable, but I found the factory setting to be perfect. If you're planning to mount a scope or red dot sight, you need to know that the milled dovetail is 14mm, which limits your optics options. The spring piston system is unusual in that it doesn't recoil forward like most springers. The firearm-like rearward recoil and familiar 1911 feel makes this gun a great trainer. Cocking effort started out quite stiff, but 200 rounds in the gun is breaking in nicely and the cocking cycle has become noticeably smoother and lighter. It's a pricey pistol, but the fit, finish, and overall build quality are outstanding. It's well worth the money.

This review is for a refurbished .22 caliber P-1.The finish is unblemished, satin black, that is of better appearance than shown in the pictures of the product. It is flawless in its operation and performance. The velocities I have measured are near the factory specification of 460 fps; this pistol gave an average of 456 fps for the RWS Hobby 11.9 gr WC. Other pellets tested: H&N Sport FTT Green 9.57 gr Dome - 503 fps; Predator GTO 11.75 gr Dome - 447 fps; Norma S-Target Match 14.0 gr Dome - 424 fps. These were the most consistent performers of the 12 pellets tried. They all grouped better than I expected, yielding the following 5 shot groups (I sat benched and held the pistol in my hands, not on a rest): RWS 11.9 gr. - .667"; H&N Sport 9.57 gr - .592"; Predator GTO 11.75 gr - .340"; Norma S-Target Match 14.0 gr. -.464". Measurements are C to C of the spread. I also did some shooting standing, two hand hold, 15 yards to target, ( 2" diameter pellet tins) Same pellets - 60% hits.
Things I Would Have ChangedI did change one thing, not as a fault of the product, but as a preference. I replaced the grip panels with a set of Nighthawk Custom AlumaGrips 1911 Government Commander. The basic finish was black with the Nighthawk Logo. They are expensive but hey, look what I bought them for! I am not suggesting that this be the factory standard. Each to his own preference.
What Others Should KnowNot all pellets tested so well as these four, or showed the tendency for consistency. Not every group was as small as those listed, but hundreds of shots fired showed these results were not flukes, and these four pellets stood out as the most reliable in my pistol. These pellets all shot to the same point of impact, which is why I selected them for my P-1. That being said, it took a lot of shooting, experimentation and patience to learn the tendencies and characteristics of how this pistol reacted to variations of hold. Subtle changes produce different results in the point of impact from shot to shot. When placed in a rest it would shoot much higher than if held in the hands. If you buy this pistol, be prepared for that challenge.You will have to work to find what is needed to get satisfactory results - it simply requires much more consistency than a pump, PCP or CO2 platform. I did not adjust the trigger, but if it were needed, the proper Allen wrench is included. Sights are great.
