Good Points: Gamo manufacturing quality Nice looking Reliable Accurate (relatively) Compressed air instead of spring
Bad Points: Hard to cock Large grip
General comments: I bought my Gamo AF-10 more than 10 years ago, (and I traded it in a few years later).
At that time, it cost 15.000 "escudos" (roughly 75 Euros) here in Portugal, although it was a little expensive for an airgun PISTOL, today it might be at higher prices.
Aesthetically this was the main reason I bought it, as it is very beautiful and robust looking.
Strength: it offers very good performance, (I'm not sure about velocity or energy data), but for a pistol it had a good punch. However, much, much below the standards of a good AIR RIFLE.
Accuracy: I like its strength, and the accuracy wasn't bad for an airgun pistol. I would say it was very good considering that fact.
Sights: This model only had the Azimuth steering regulator instead of the azimuth & elevation regulators, as in the rifles, (but for its maximum operational shooting distance, the accuracy was very good).
Handling: Its weight was, in my opinion, normal for this model, and the kick back was acceptable. However, it had a relatively large grip, which doesn't help much when shooting if you do have little hands.
Also worth mentioning, is the fact that you have to apply a considerable amount of strength to close the upper part/bore of the gun to cock it, in result of the high air pressure being created, since the pistol works with a compression chamber instead of a spring/piston.
Durability: With some years of use, I had the opportunity to confirm Gamo high standards in manufacturing quality, and nothing has broken or worn-out. It even had the advantage of not having a spring to wear out with time, just the compression chamber. I would like to have that feature on my rifles.
Finally I did trade it in because I got tired of an airgun's pistol low power compared with an airgun's rifle high power.

Gamo Af 10: --------------------------------------------------
----Story----
I bought my gamo af10 from my friend about a month ago and I have shoot over 5000 pellets trough it now.
--------------------------------------------------
----System----
This gun is compressed air pistol wich means there is a piston in the camber wich compresses the air in the chamber when gun is loaded and when you shoot the walwe releases the air in to the barrel sending the pellet fly. There is no spring ...
