Nice weight,
Accurate,

No recoil,
Adjustable open sights.
Single shot.
The Gamo PR45 is a single stroke pre-compressed pistol. It is a good weight, not too light and flimsy nor too heavy to hold for sighting at arm's lentgh. It is extremely accurate with no recoil and also pretty quiet.
Although not measured, the quoted power is close to the legal maximum of 6 Ft-lbs and experience suggests that this is not an unrealistic claim.
Placing the pellet in the barrel is a little fiddly as the breech is encased - but if you don't shoot in gloves this is not a big problem!
Overall this is an excellent plinker or could be suitable for close quarters vermin (like rats in a barn)although the single shot capability seriously reduces the firing rate over a multi-shot CO2 - at least you don't need to pay for power or use up a whole cartridge every time you get it out.
