Borner Makarov PM N1 4.5 mm Air Pistol (10-2022)

Borner PM N1 is a compact 4.5 mm BB CO2 air pistol styled after the classic Makarov pistol. This design focuses on straightforward operation, clearly mechanical handling, and a familiar form appreciated by users who value training use and recreational shooting. The internal metal-alloy frame, steel barrel, and ABS polymer outer shell create a practical setup for handling drills and hobby shooting.

This model is aimed at users looking for a CO2-powered air pistol that uses a standard 12 g CO2 capsule, a metal BB magazine, and a Double Action trigger system. The Makarov-inspired profile, black finish, and compact dimensions give the Borner PM N1 a classic look while keeping it comfortable in everyday use.

Construction of the Borner PM N1 air pistol

The frame of the pistol is made from metal alloy. This internal structure is enclosed in an ABS polymer shell shaped after the Makarov pistol. The layout combines a classic visual line with a compact and practical form. The black finish further highlights the technical, no-nonsense character of the model.

The barrel is made of steel. It is a smoothbore barrel designed for 4.5 mm steel BBs. Its length is 85 mm, which matches the compact overall dimensions of the pistol.

Shooting properties of the Borner PM N1 air pistol

Power comes from a standard 12 g CO2 capsule. The capsule is inserted into the grip under the sliding grip panel. In the lower part of the grip there is a recessed tightening screw, which does not disturb the visual line of the pistol. According to the supplied data, one capsule can deliver up to 100 shots.

The trigger system works in Double Action mode. Pulling the trigger tensions the firing mechanism and ends with the shot being released. The user can also manually cock the hammer, which reduces trigger resistance. The pistol operates in semi-auto mode and does not use a blowback system.

The magazine is metal and holds 17 rounds of 4.5 mm steel BB ammunition. The smoothbore barrel is designed specifically for this type of projectile, so the pistol is intended for steel BBs rather than lead diabolo pellets.

Safety is handled by a manual safety lever located at the rear of the slide. The lever helps protect against an accidental shot. After changing the lever position, the user can immediately see whether the pistol is ready to fire or blocked.
