This list compiles the elevation and windage information for modern precision and rapid fire pneumatic air pistols that can be seen in competitions and clubs. Most recent models go first.
After the name of each model you find how many millimeters (mm) does the impact change at 10m.
The manuals are linked on the model of each pistol.
If you want to add or correct a pistol’s information, please leave a comment.

P 8X: 2mm per click (short model 2.4mm per click)
This gun uses German instructions. If you turn the wheel in the direction of the arrow you either bring your shots up (T), down (H), right (L), left (R). Think of bei as too, then if the shot is too (L)eft it moves to the right, etc.

P11 / P11 Piccolo: 2mm per click
Hammerli
I really like the Hammerli and Walther way of pointing where to turn to get a result. It is graphic and easy to remember.
AP 40: 2mm per click
To bring the shots up or right anticlockwise.
AP 20: 1.4mm per click
Anticlockwise moves impact towards right, clockwise brings it down.
MatchGuns / Gehmann
It looks like Gehmann are whitebranded Matchguns.
Clockwise brings impact down or right.
From the manual of the MG1 model I have the impression that this elevation and windage is the same for all their air guns.
Morini
- ↕ elevation: 1.5mm per click
- ↔ windage: 1mm per click
Turn screw 1 clockwise to bring impact down and screw 2 to bring impact to the right.

Older Air Pistols
This excellent table by Doug White (GWhite on TargetTalk) has a lot of information for older models and he’s even sent an updated version:
More pistol information also available in Pilkguns’ TenP Philes.
Walther LP500 sight adjustments shown above are incorrect and are actually the opposite.
Correction for high shot: Turn the adjusting screw clockwise
Correction for low shot: Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
Correction for shots to the right: Turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
Correction for shots to the left: Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
Thanks! Corrected. I was looking at the picture as if I was holding the gun like that, so I inverted them all 🙂
