Novritsch SSP5 4.3" — Gas Blowback Pistol (6mm)
The Novritsch SSP5 4.3" is a compact, competition-grade gas blowback pistol built for precision and fast follow-up shots. Designed by Novritsch in Vienna, the SSP5 blends CNC-machined components, a one-piece TDC chamber and a fixed precision barrel to give excellent accuracy for a carry-sized platform.
Out of the box the SSP5 is tuned for low-footprint reliability and efficiency — it runs well across a wide temperature range when paired with the recommended gas and 0.28g BBs, and its fast recoil gives responsive shot-to-shot recovery that competitive shooters and IPSC-style players appreciate. The model is gas-powered (top-fill green gas / HFC-type gases) and legal for IPSC close division with muzzle energy under 1J when using the suggested 0.25–0.4g BBs.
The ergonomics and controls are built around real-world use: full-steel trigger/hammer assembly, fiber-optic sights, pre-drilled frame for holster compatibility and a low-profile red-dot mount option. Novritsch also supports the pistol with how-to videos and Vienna-based tech support — a helpful resource if you want to tune or learn advanced handling techniques.
If you want a carryable sidearm that performs like a race gun, the SSP5 4.3" is an excellent choice — lighter and more gas-efficient than the longer SSP5 variants, while keeping the same high-precision hop-up chamber and CNC construction that make the SSP5 family stand out.
