Hwasan Co2 Pistol P08 (Full Metal – Blue)
The Hwasan P08 is a full metal CO2 pistol styled on the P08, the famous early 20th-century pistol instantly recognisable by its toggle-lock action and steeply raked grip. This version is finished in blue, giving a historic design an unusual modern look.
Hwasan builds weighty, all-metal CO2 replicas, and the P08’s elegant lines make it one of the most attractive pistols to own, whether you shoot it on the range or keep it in a collection. CO2 power also keeps it working well when the weather turns cooler.
Build and design
Full metal construction gives the P08 a solid, satisfying weight. The steep grip angle is one of the design’s best-known features, and many shooters find it points very naturally.
The blue finish sets this P08 apart from traditional blued-steel or black replicas, and makes it a striking display piece.
How it works
The pistol is powered by CO2, which gives strong, consistent shots and copes better with cool weather than standard airsoft gas. Read the supplied manual carefully for how the capsule is fitted and how the magazine is loaded on this model.
Take your time on the range to get used to the trigger and the P08’s sights. A steady, deliberate approach brings out the best in any pistol, and especially in a classic design like this.
For collectors and reenactors
The P08 is a favourite of collectors and of reenactors portraying the first half of the 20th century. A coloured version makes an eye-catching companion to a more traditional replica.
If you plan to display the pistol, keep it away from direct sunlight and damp, and handle it with clean, dry hands.
Getting started
Read the manual first so you know how the CO2 capsule is fitted and sealed on this model. Put a drop of silicone oil on the tip of a fresh capsule of the type the manual specifies, fit it, load BBs and fire a few shots at a safe backstop.
Ask your site to chronograph the pistol before play, and release any remaining gas before taking the capsule out.

Compatibility
Use magazines made for this Hwasan P08, as CO2 pistol magazines are rarely interchangeable between brands even when they look alike. Check the manual for the CO2 capsule type it uses. Holsters for P08-style pistols suit its distinctive shape; check the fit before buying. Good quality 0.20g BBs are a sensible choice.
Care and maintenance
Never store the pistol with a CO2 capsule fitted, and always release any remaining gas before removing a capsule. A drop of silicone oil on each new capsule tip helps keep the seals supple.
Wipe the metal with a soft cloth after handling and store the pistol somewhere dry. Clean the inner barrel now and then with a rod and patch, and use clean, seamless BBs.
Who is it for?
The Hwasan P08 suits collectors, reenactors and target shooters who appreciate classic pistol designs, and anyone who wants a weighty metal CO2 pistol with a distinctive look.
Please note: CO2 capsules and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when shooting.
