DIANA Bandit 4.5mm PCP Air Pistol Overview
The Bandit is designed around the PCP platform, which stores compressed air in an onboard cylinder. Compared with conventional spring-piston air pistols, PCP systems use stored compressed air to propel the pellet.
The compact configuration makes the DIANA Bandit suitable for shooters looking for a manageable PCP pistol platform. Its beechwood match grip provides a dedicated sporting appearance, while the adjustable sighting system allows the shooter to make sight adjustments according to their setup.
The pistol can be used with the supplied 9-shot rotary magazine or in single-shot mode, giving the shooter two loading configurations.
DIANA Bandit PCP System
The DIANA Bandit uses a 50cc air cylinder with a maximum fill pressure of 200 bar (20 MPa / approximately 2,900 PSI).
As with any PCP airgun, the cylinder should be filled only with appropriate equipment and according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The cylinder should not be filled beyond its specified maximum pressure.
The listed maximum muzzle energy is up to 13 J, while velocity is listed at up to 220 m/s (725 fps). Actual velocity can vary depending on pellet weight, pellet design and other shooting conditions.
9-Shot Magazine and Single-Shot Operation
One of the useful features of the DIANA Bandit is its flexible loading system.
The pistol includes a 9-shot rotary magazine, allowing multiple pellets to be loaded into the magazine before shooting. The Bandit can also be operated in single-shot mode.
This gives users the option of using the rotary magazine for convenience or loading individual pellets when preferred for a particular shooting setup.
DIANA Improved Trigger
The DIANA Bandit incorporates the DIANA Improved Trigger (DIT).
A quality trigger system is an important part of a target-oriented air pistol because consistent trigger operation can help the shooter maintain a repeatable shooting technique.
The Bandit’s trigger system is combined with its adjustable sighting arrangement and ergonomic grip to create a compact sporting PCP pistol platform.
Beechwood Match Grip and Handling
The DIANA Bandit features an ergonomic beechwood match grip.
The grip is designed around the pistol’s sporting configuration and gives the Bandit a distinctive traditional DIANA appearance. At approximately 1.0kg, the pistol provides a relatively compact format while retaining the features expected from a PCP target-shooting platform.
Its overall length is approximately 510mm, with a 240mm barrel.
Adjustable Sights and Optics Rail
The DIANA Bandit is equipped with an adjustable rear/micrometer sight for sight adjustment.
It also features an 11mm prism rail, providing a mounting interface for compatible optical accessories.
Any optic or accessory should be selected and installed according to its manufacturer’s specifications and compatibility with the pistol.
