SIG SAUER Super Target Air Pistol and New Line of Pellets Now Available

    So as the winter months are closing in and the lazier amongst us might not get to the range quite as often. If you’re looking for a new home plinker then SIG Sauer have just introduced the ASP Precision Super Target Air Pistol, a .177 single shot pneumatic air pistol which SIG say is ‘highly accurate’.

    With all-metal construction, styling reminiscent of the classic SIG P210 and a fully adjustable trigger the ASP Super Target looks like a classic indoor plinker.
