The Air Venturi MicroStrike PCP pistol/carbine was announced at the 2025 SHOT Show. Hard Air Magazine brought you some information about it at that time.
However now there’s more detail becoming available, so let’s look a little more deeply. Personally, I find these compact PCPs very interesting.
As a happy plinker myself, compact PCPs really appeal to me for backyard can-popping and similar low-stress, high-fun types of close range shooting. They’re also an ideal way to share the fun of airgun shooting with family and friends. The small size, light weight and relatively low power also aid with this.
New but essential information about the MicroStrike is price and availability estimate. Pyramyd is showing the selling price as $399.99. The estimated availability date is also now shown on the Pyramyd website as August 25, 2025. So let’s say late summer – that’s really not so far away…
The MicroStrike looks as if it will be ideal for use with a short scope, or red dot sight. However, it includes front and rear open sights. These slide into the Picatinny rail grooves and look to be locked in place with setscrews. This gives windage adjustment for both front and rear open sights.
In more detail…
There’s a removable folding stock. This is attached using the vertical Picatinny rail at the rear of the action.
BTW. The hole visible in the Picatinny rail just above the two fixing screws is provided to allow for adjustments to the hammer spring tension.
The stock can then be folded to one side. However, the gun cannot be cocked in this configuration as the left-side cocking lever is blocked by the stock.
All this, plus three calibers (.177, .22 and .25) and the capability to interchange barrels will clearly make the Air Venturi MicroStrike PCP pistol/carbine a very attractive product for many airgunners.
There’s more information at the Pyramyd web page.
