Pistol Vesta Defense PDW50 .50 cal 17J

PDW50 17J – a semi-automatic rubber bullet pistol by Vesta Defence, the most powerful and advanced RAM (Real Action Marker) pistol. Powered by a 12g CO₂ cartridge, it fires rubber, rubber-metal, polymer, marking, and pepper rounds in .50 caliber. The integrated 6-round magazine can be reloaded instantly using an optional speed loader mounted on the accessory rail. Built with a metal frame coated in a durable, weather-resistant polymer. Features a trigger safety similar to Glock pistols.

6-Round Magazine and Unique Optional Speed Loader

The Vesta PDW50 is equipped with a 6-round magazine located beneath the barrel, compatible with various types of .50 caliber ammunition, including rubber, rubber-metal, pepper, marking, and polymer rounds. Thanks to its wide ammunition compatibility and powerful 17J energy output, it is ideal not only for self-defense but also for shooting practice and recreational use.

An optional Vesta Defense Flashloader speed loader is available, mounting directly to the Picatinny accessory rail under the barrel. It enables instant magazine reloading, effectively doubling the pistol’s capacity.

CO₂ Power System with Quick-Piercing Mechanism

The pistol is powered by a single 12g CO₂ cartridge, housed in the grip. The quick-piercing system allows the cartridge to be stored in the pistol without the risk of damaging seals or valves. The cartridge is pierced only upon striking the reservoir cap. A piercing indicator at the rear of the cartridge chamber signals whether the pistol is ready to fire.

The semi-automatic Vesta PDW50 features a Double Action trigger mechanism, meaning a shot is fired simply by pulling the trigger—no manual cocking or chambering required.

Ergonomic Textured Grip

The firearm's metal frame is coated with a highly durable polymer, resistant to weather conditions and mechanical damage. A widened trigger guard ensures comfortable use even while wearing gloves. The textured surface provides a secure grip for dynamic shooting.

Equipped with fixed iron sights. The front sight and rear notch feature a contrasting white dot for improved aiming in low-light conditions.

Beneath the barrel, a 22mm accessory rail allows for mounting a tactical flashlight, laser sight, optional speed loader to double magazine capacity, and other accessories.
