Airsoft Pistols

Airsoft pistols are also searched for as softair pistols, airsoft handguns or softair sidearms. Their compact design makes them suitable for close-range playing areas or as a practical addition to an airsoft rifle. Depending on the model, they may be powered by gas, CO₂, spring or an electric system. Blowback pistols provide a different handling experience from models with a fixed slide.

Ergonomics and fit are especially important when selecting an airsoft pistol. The grip should feel comfortable, and all controls should remain accessible when wearing gloves. Magazine, holster and power-source compatibility should also be considered. Compare airsoft handguns and softair pistols by operating system, features and handling.
