Baikal IZH-46M .177 Single-Stroke Pneumatic Match Air Pistol
The Baikal IZH-46M is a purpose-built ISSF 10-metre match pistol, valued for its consistent 470 ft/s velocity, fully adjustable two-stage trigger, and ergonomic right-hand beechwood grip. A hammer-forged 11-inch steel barrel, housed in a blued shroud, teams with micrometer match sights to deliver the precision serious competitors expect. This example was imported by EAA Corp. and retains the distinctive longer compression cylinder that differentiates the 46M variant.

What’s Included
- Baikal IZH-46M .177 single-shot match air pistol
The single-stroke pneumatic power-plant compresses air with one smooth lever motion, eliminating the need for CO₂ or external charging equipment and ensuring uniform shot-to-shot velocity.
A five-way adjustable, two-stage trigger lets the shooter tune pull weight, travel, and overtravel. The mechanism also supports dry-fire practice without charging the cylinder, a valuable feature for match training.
The deeply contoured beechwood grip includes an adjustable palm shelf, promoting repeatable hand placement. Combined with the pistol’s neutral balance and 16.5-inch overall length, this fosters stability during extended strings.
Interchangeable square-post front blades and a fully adjustable micrometer rear sight allow precise sight picture customization. Proof marks and roll-marks—“IZH-46M”, caliber designation, and “Made in Russia”—are crisp and legible.
