AP20 trigger compared to others.

Post by DWood »

I’m just curious. How is the AP20 trigger compared to higher quality air pistols? Mechanical triggers of course. Has anyone here compared the hammerli to others?

The team I help coach has 26 AP20's. When we first got them, I test fired all of them and measured their velocities to establish a baseline in case something went south later on. They have a perfectly acceptable trigger. I've shot Morinis & Steyrs extensively, and there was nothing in the least bit objectionable to the trigger feel compared to the more expensive pistols. I also made no attempt to adjust the the triggers, which have quite a range for height & length of pull.

Given that they sell the "Pro" version for a lot more money, I don't think they cut corners on the trigger mechanism. Mostly what you are missing in the non-Pro version is the cylinders with gauges & a much fancier (but less universal) grip.

We have a shooter at out club "pellet night" who has an AP20 (not the pro version) and he has his set up very well. That was one of the first real AP's I had ever shot - and it was amazing. He also has the cylinder adapter, and a custom grip - so it's actually hard to tell the difference (to the novice).

Not sure I even have my K12 set up quite as good as his - but it's close and I'm getting use to it. Good luck !
