Here is an other spin off thread for the Huben pistol where members can share what ammo they have found works good,....... or bad in their hand cannon.
Huben Huben pistol ammo choice.
- Thread starter Nomadic Pirate 66
- Start date
Never tried to 33 grain, I have some 47 grain slugs that I bought for my K1 and they fit really tight these are looser than those but they stay in my pistol just fine.

Earlier I made some slugs for Kelly. Initially he said the gk1 magazines and the k1 magazines were the same. On my 2021 .25 cal, I made some slugs that worked but needed a tool to be seated because they encounter resistance when they meet the rifling. I can make them shorter and lighter to negate this problem but I wanted a slug that could be max length and weight and still seat with no tool needed. So I ordered a new die that I have just received but haven't managed to use yet. Anyway, when my gk1 arrived, I tried making a max length slug for it with my 1st die to confirm that it has the same magazine issue as the rifle, but it doesn't. They slide right in at max length. Will test both slugs and see which the pistol prefers. One is a hollow point similar to an AVS, at 11mm they weigh a bit over 50 grains. They're .254 diameter. The others have a slightly more pointy ogive and are not hollow points, and are .2537 diameter. Will report back later with more resluts

Oooh nice! Thanks a lot for the info. Looks like they sell these in my country as well ^^
So at least I won't have to import slugs from somewhere else.

Well I finally had a chance to test the EunJin 43gr in a Huben pistol ( bare in mind mine are a couple mm shorter since a take the point off )
They fit in the magazine nice and snug and they are very accurate in the 15 yards range.

Hola chicos.
Alguien ha probado el JTS 22.07 cal 22, de momento he probado el JTS 18 y el JSB 18 y ambos funcionan muy bien, también probé el Zan 219 de 28 granos y a 25 yardas cierran grupos.
Saludos.

hoy probamos los ZaN 253 de 33grain en la GK1
y encajan perfectamente en el cargador igual que los slugs de JSB MK2, los Zan parecían más precisos. Después probamos otra en calibre 22 y definitivamente fue más precisa con Diábolos que la 25 con slugs.

Has anyone tested the 31gr H&N Baraccuda .25 ?
The GTOs sound great and at 16gr would be very valuable on a detuned .25 ....but Jeez 20 bucks for 150 ?

I don't see slugs an advantage for the GK1. They are twice as expensive as pellets and the typical distance this gun will be used is less than 50 meters. I have great accuracy and more than sufficient energy with the JSB 25.4gr in my .25 GK1. I am certain I can also use the 34 gr JSB as well So far I have fired 1000 of these with no issues.
On another point, I am using the Huben Hush moderator, which helps with the sound, but it is still louder than I would like. Just for grins I swapped the Hush for the Mod I use on my Crown. There is a thread on the construction of this Mod in the archives. This Mod I made myself in aluminum and it uses an inverted cone baffle design without a central tube. However this Mod weighs 300 grams. Two things occurred that surprised me. First was the sound reduction. My Mod was much, much, much quieter. I mean hardly any report.. The second was the change in POI. At 25 yards the group dropped low by 1.2"" and right by 1.0". The grourp was about .5 inch. The same with both Mods.

I read that .253 slugs do well in the GK1.
But in my K1, these don't fit snug enough in the magazine and can partly fall in the barrel while filling the mag which is annoying.
.254 fits perfect.
So are the holes of the GK1 magazine slightly smaller or what?

I'm wondering whether anyone has tried the JSB Match Diabolo Exact King MKII Heavy .25 Cal, 33.95 grain pellets? Seems like they would be a good fit and heavier alternative to sloppy fitting slugs.
I fully intend to try a thin coat of the thickest silicone grease I can find to try and make any/all slugs stay in place. Or maybe some suitable wax, we'll see how this goes.

These are the pellets I'm using on my GK1. I have yet to do more testing with them, but they seem to be a good fit so far indeed!

These are my go to for the GK1. The 33.95 fit and don't jam. Use them in the rifle also. Have mine shooting at 820 fps.

A fair point maybe. I make all my own and don't shoot anything else, largely to save money but also I prefer the power and BC of slugs. the .254s have been accurate for everyone that I've seen. I was hitting 2" targets at 40 yards with iron sights with them no problem. Everyone will have their own criteria for accuracy though
