Pistol - Borner - PM-X - 4.5mm BBs - 3 joules

Introduction

Here is an ideal pistol for beginners looking to get into recreational shooting without breaking the bank — an affordable price that in no way compromises on quality and reliability, ensuring that the beginner who purchases it will still enjoy it long after becoming an experienced shooter.

This CO2 and 4.5 mm steel BB pistol is clearly inspired by the Russian MAKAROV, which is unsurprising given that it was designed in Eastern Europe and manufactured in Asia, at lower cost but using controlled and mastered manufacturing techniques. This design/manufacturing compromise, widely used by manufacturers worldwide for all kinds of products, is arguably the best solution for delivering an optimized quality-to-price ratio.

Description

Compact and very lightweight, the BORNER PM-X is a semi-automatic pistol with a fixed slide (non-blowback) powered by a 12-gram CO2 cartridge. Being economical with its fixed slide, the PM-X delivers about fifty shots per CO2 cartridge, allowing you to fill the magazine 3 times before needing to change the cartridge — impressive autonomy.

The numbers are excellent: the PM-X delivers 3 joules of power, propelling its 4.5 mm steel BBs at a muzzle velocity of 168 m/s — sufficient for flat, accurate shots at distances between 5 and 10 meters.

Its light weight of just 300 grams and 195 mm length make this pistol particularly easy to handle, suitable for everyone — men, women, and even teenagers (under strict parental supervision).

In black, with brown grip panels, the PM-X offers an unpretentious yet appealing look — both sleek and classy.

Sighting and handling

The BORNER PM-X features a standard open sight system with a fixed front sight and rear sight. It has an oblong, rather generous grip that fills the hand comfortably thanks to its well-designed ergonomics and two heavily textured brown ABS grip panels for a flawless grip.

As you can tell, this pistol is truly ideal for limited budgets aimed at often beginner or young shooters who will quickly become more demanding.
