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 compact 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 AP16 delivers more shots per fill and it features a stunning 4,350 psi (300 BAR) fill pressure. With up to 15 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.

This pistol is light weight, accurate and very nice looking. For a PCP pistol, it is the most compact I have found.
Things I would have changed:Better QC before it's shipped. Mine arrive and was difficult to cock. This got worse to the point it would not cock at all and had to be returned. I'm currently awaiting a replacement that I hope works better than the original.
What others should know:If you got a good one, I think you'll be very satisfied with the look, feel and accuracy of this pistol. I just wish PA would test them before they ship them. Also, the build date was 2019, for a $1000, I was expecting a newer air pistol. The other odd thing was the serial number on the box did not match the serial number on the pistol, which seems really fishy to me!

I really like this pistol. I took it out of the box, pumped up the cylinder and started firing. It worked great from the beginning. The only issue I seem to have is I have trouble putting it down.
Things I would have changed:I have only shot a couple hundred pellets, but as of now there is nothing I would change.
What others should know:I have a couple pistols and I find this one is the most accurate. It is easy to hold a tight grouping at about 10 yards free hand. There seems to be a little more accuracy using a heavier pellet.

How exactly do you increase/ decrease the spring tension and can this be done under pressure or only when the tank is empty (as in the FX Impact) ?
You can adjust the hammer spring tension at any time. It's an allen screw in the back of the action that adjusts it.
Is this product photo accurate? Does it actually come with the nice 1911 style grips or are the grips like all the other photos on the PA site?
Yes, the gun now comes with the 1911 style grips
What is the FPS velocity using standard size 14.3 grain or heavier 18.13 grain pellets.
About 585 fps with JSB 18.13 pellets

Overall feel, general quality, easy to shoot. I've read that many have had surface coating problems, dents in the aluminum, etc., etc. and was a little concerned. Not so with mine. Very nice surface finish, no surface marring of any kind, anywhere on the gun. The more that you shoot it, the more...that you want to shoot it. It's hard to put down. The pressure gauge is easy to read. The trigger is more than usable out of the box. No need to adjust anything for now. I may do some adjusting after getting more used to the gun, but it's very good right now. My 70 year old eyes aren't iron sight compatible. For right now, I installed a SeeAll tritium sight on it. Short and light weight. So I'm getting used to both the gun and the sight.
Things I would have changed:Obviously the cost is up there. Not sure of why in this day of everything being CNC machined. I'd think that it should be a little less expensive, oh well. Actually, after shooting it a while, the ach of the cost, mostly...goes away. A picatinny rail instead of the 11mm rail would have been nice for a 21st. century air gun. I'd bet that 99% of owners put adapters on the 11mm rail. I can't think of anything else right now.
What others should know:Be careful, it runs out of air quickly. You need to watch the pressure. It's not hard to refill once the tank is empty, just not sure it's a good thing to do consistently. The act of cocking the gun is a little different. I think that it has the same hard spots that most rifles do, but the rifle cocking arms are two to three times longer than the AP16 cocking arm, so the hard spots will be multiplied with the short arm. I put some light silicone oil on all of the pivot points and pellet probe. This made a big difference vs. running it all dry.
