Compact 4.3 Architecture and Salient Arms Controls

• Shortened 4.3 slide assembly: Reduces front-end weight and reciprocating mass, producing a faster cycle rate and sharper aim recovery between shots.
• Officially licensed SAI geometry: Features deep-cut front and rear cocking serrations and precision weight-relief ports alongside authentic Salient Arms International roll-marks.
• Fluted outer barrel profile: Highlights SAI’s iconic barrel craftsmanship, adding front-end aesthetic contrast and balance.
• High-traction 2011 frame: Features an aggressive textured grip that ensures firm weapon control under rapid strings of fire.
• Ambidextrous competition controls: Outfitted with dual thumb safeties, an operational beavertail grip safety, skeletonised trigger, and an integrated lower accessory rail for tactical lights or lasers.

Gas Action and Ballistic Delivery

• Crisp CO2 blowback cycle: Uses high-pressure CO2 to drive the metal slide sharply rearward with every pull of the trigger, providing authentic recoil feedback and locking back on empty.
• Semi-automatic mechanism: Resets the hammer automatically on each cycle for fluid, uninterrupted strings of fire against reactive targets.
• .177/4.5mm bore: Delivers clean projectile flight paths and consistent downrange accuracy for action courses, reactive steel plates, and card targets.

Why choose the SAI x EMG 2011 DS 4.3?

Choose the SAI x EMG 2011 DS 4.3 if you want a compact, fast-pointing competition sidearm with licensed Salient Arms styling, reduced slide mass, and spirited CO2 blowback performance. If your requirements lean towards full-size 5.1 target radius, an Olympic 10-metre match trigger, or full-power pest control, an alternative full-size pistol or dedicated air rifle will serve you better. In compliance with UK law, air pistols are restricted to persons aged 18 and over and must be collected in person with valid photo ID or delivered to a Registered Firearms Dealer.

FAQ

How does the SA-DS0201-AG differ within the SAI 2011 DS 4.3 series?

The SA-DS0201-AG represents a dedicated finish or trim variant within the officially licensed EMG Salient Arms 2011 DS 4.3 lineup, retaining the same shortened race-slide profile, double-stack ergonomics, and CO2 blowback engine.

What is the difference between the 5.1 and 4.3 models?

The 4.3 variant features a shorter slide and barrel profile than the standard 5.1. This reduces reciprocating mass for a faster slide cycle, reduces overall forward weight, and offers quicker target transitions in tight action shooting drills.

Is this an officially licensed Salient Arms pistol?

Yes. Produced under official license from Salient Arms International (SAI) by EMG, it features authentic trademarks, roll-marks, and signature SAI geometric slide serrations and barrel profiling.

Does this pistol feature functioning blowback recoil?

Yes. Each shot vents a portion of CO2 gas to propel the slide rearward, delivering physical recoil feedback and cocking the action for the following shot.

What power source is required to operate the pistol?

It operates on standard 12g CO2 capsules that install directly into the removable magazine housing.
