When you hold the Airmax SR1250, you immediately notice that the barrel is very long when the silencer is attached. I have long arms, so it works for me. However, if you’re physically built a little smaller, you won’t be able to reach for the silencer when you’re cocking, you’ll have to go for the barrel instead. However, the actual cocking process then is easy to do. It can be done with virtually no effort.

Once the pellet has been loaded into the barrel, the only thing left to do is to deactivate the automatic safety. It can be comfortably reached by both left- and right-handed users with the thumb. All you have to do is press it down.
