What is the Diana P Five Air Pistol?
The Diana P Five is a traditional, high-quality break barrel spring-piston air pistol. Renowned for its robust German engineering heritage, it is a single-shot pistol designed for target shooting and recreational plinking. It features an automatic safety, adjustable sights, and a reputation for solid build quality. Diana airguns are historically German-made, with modern manufacturing upholding this legacy of precision.

Performance, Features, and Considerations
Our Diana P Five review finds it to be a satisfying and straightforward spring-piston pistol. In .177 calibre (4.5mm), it offers consistent velocity suitable for target work. Its break-barrel action is simple and reliable. Potential Diana P Five problems are typical of the spring-piston type and can include a learning curve to master the “artillery hold” for accuracy and general maintenance of the spring and seal over time. These are standard considerations for the platform. The Diana P Five price reflects its quality construction and brand reputation.

Australian Compliance: Your Questions Answered
Understanding Australian law is crucial before any purchase.

• Are air pistols legal in Australia? Yes, but they are heavily regulated. Air pistols are typically classified as Category H firearms, requiring a specific licence.

• Can I buy an air pistol? You can only purchase an air pistol if you hold a valid Category H firearms licence issued by your state police, which requires genuine reason (e.g., target shooting as a club member), safety training, and secure storage.

• What kind of guns are you allowed to own in Australia? Ownership requires a licence for each category (A, B, C, D, H). Most air rifles (< 15 ft/lbs in some states) fall under Category A, but air pistols almost always fall under Category H.

• Where are Diana Air pistols made? Diana airguns are made in Germany, a country synonymous with high-quality firearms manufacturing.
