Abstract

A gas pressure pistol, particularly a sports pistol, comprises a compressed gas container, which is disposed below the barrel and which via a passage that is adapted to be closed by a valve communicates with the rear end of the barrel, also comprises a bolt, which is guided in a housing and is adapted to be retracted from the rear end of the barrel, and a trigger mechanism, which is accommodated in the housing and comprises a trigger lever, which is pivotally movable in a pull-off sense, a trigger blade carried by the trigger lever, a spring which opposes the movement of the trigger lever in the pull-off sense, a sear, which cooperates with the trigger lever, and a catch lever, which in a catching position interlocks with the sear and is adapted to retain a spring-loaded striker, which serves to actuate the valve. To permit the trigger lever and the trigger blade to be disposed as close as possible to the barrel, the valve comprises a striking pin, which extends preferably in a longitudinal rib of the housing rearwardly beyond the trigger blade toward the striker, and the trigger lever is pivoted above the striking pin slightly below the track for the bolt and is provided at its top with two legs, which are optionally disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal rib.
