The Hämmerli 280 uses a reliable semi-automatic blowback action matched to a 4.6 inch steel barrel. A stationary sight bridge carries a micro-adjustable square-notch rear sight, and the ventilated rib enhances the sighting plane for precise target work.
Anatomical control is a core feature: the right-hand walnut grip includes an adjustable palm shelf and coarse stippling to set and maintain a consistent hold. The adjustable match trigger allows the shooter to tailor feel for deliberate, repeatable shots.
Balance and recoil management are aided by the modular under-barrel weight system, letting the shooter fine-tune front-end weight. The magazine well is positioned forward of the trigger guard, contributing to the pistol's weight distribution and competition-oriented layout.
Construction pairs a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite housing with steel barrel and working parts for durability with reduced overall mass. Swiss manufacture with the SIGARMS INC., Exeter, NH import mark underscores its provenance and U.S. import history.
Chambered in .22 LR with a 6+1 capacity, this example includes two 6-round magazines with witness slots and flush baseplates, supporting both training and match use right out of the case.
