    Huben All Things HUBEN GK1 (air pistol) - Master Thread

    If you don't consider your time as valuable, your cost assessment is correct. If you enjoy casting lead, that's a different story. It's your time and your hobby do as you wish, but your case is not for most of us. Slugs cost twice as much as pellets.

    Huben All Things HUBEN GK1 (air pistol) - Master Thread

    I have a V1 and V3. That chamfer is obvious just look, you'll see it. If you doubt my statement, get out your pin gauges and calipers then measure yourself. If you still cannot see the chamfer, remove the magazine and reverse it. Then try to load something. You'll figure it out pretty quick. As...

    Huben All Things HUBEN GK1 (air pistol) - Master Thread

    What BS is this I hear about seating? Never seat anything! If you do, you are inviting a jam. Pellets are retained by the chamfer at the rear end of the magazine bores. The skirt is about .010" larger than the pellet head. The pellet head is a slip fit in the magazine's bores and the skirt ...

    There is no issue with the OEM loading gate. It works fine. No reason to change it at all. You can only pick up and load one pellet at a time no matter what loading gate you use. As the owner and user, learn to use the factory gate and advance the magazine in one smooth motion. Modifying what...

    Huben GK1@100yards

    You actually accomplish nothing by shooting a pistol from a vice. Now a Ransom rest is a different story, it allows some recoil. A vice does not. All pistols support the pistol mass below the barrel line. When fired the barrel rises in response. After sighting in a pistol and then placing a...

    Let's talk radar chronographs

    Trying to put this all together, The radar crono is certainly more convenient and therefore easier to use. I cannot deny that, but they will not be as accurate or consistent as the sun screen variety. However, an argument can be made for the need for accuracy. I don't think it is important for...

    Let's talk radar chronographs

    First I have been in the radar business for better than 60 years. I do understand the technology and because I do, I made those statements. The return signal amplitude of a pellet at any distance beyond 50 meters with the very weak transmit power used would be almost undetectable. It is the...

    Let's talk radar chronographs

    It is your money and you can do as you wish with it, but all the features you mentioned can be done with the conventional crono and even though the radar units advertise BC, it really cannot because the point where the second speed reading obtained is only a best guess of distance, it cannot be...

    Let's talk radar chronographs

    I'm old fashioned. I do not see the value of a high end radar chronograph. They are too expensive and add NO more value or accuracy over the garden variety sun screen type that you can buy from China at $70 or less. Please consider your usage. You only need a crono for tuning purposes. Once that...

    Other Quick release coupling... Standard?

    Those with wooden stocks, like my Crown. the male fill fitting is a bit recessed in the fore end and can be difficult to mount a female whip. If you were to buy an extended fitting to solve that issue, the sliding sleeve is slightly larger in diameter which interferes with the smaller cutout in...

    Other PP700 optics set up?

    I have had my PP700SA for about 4 years now. I had lots of leak issues, but once sorted, it has been excellent. I left the regulator as delivered regulating at 100 bar. I fill to 200 bar and can shoot 40 shots at a little over 600 fps before I reach tank pressure of 100 bar. I have hit birds at...

    Other Quick release coupling... Standard?

    Your observations are correct. There are no observed standards, unfortunately. It is best to use fittings from the same source. Also, pay attention to the diameter of the slip sleeve. Some are so large as to interfere with the ring sliding over the retention balls, which leads into an explosive...

    Huben Huben Pistol GK1 questions?

    That's a valid argument, but a match .22 rimfire cost the same as a GK1 or more. Then there is the ammo cost thing. Match .22 ammo cost a whole lot more than match grade pellets. I shoot in excess of 10,000 rounds a year. My pellet cost in.25 is 3 1/2 cents each.. Of course on top of that is the...

    I'm not offended. I'm only suggesting that because you now know the history, you will consider changing your opinion.as it is out of order.

    Huben What is the best red dot for the gk1?

    I have a brand new SeeAll sight that will never ever be used by me on an air gun. Yes they are low, which is very good, but the sight does not allow viewage of your target at distance because of pellet drop and the requirement to hold over the target. I bought it as a test for my PP700SA. It's...

    With your opinion clearly stated, you probably use illegal software with little to no regard to intellectual rights because I see your position as exactly the same thing. We live in a capitalistic society and the best deserve what they can receive because they are the best. perhaps, even the...

    I think you are asking the wrong question. The cost of the GK1 is what it is because it is the best currently made. No other air pistol comes close to the Huben GK1 in any area. It is an amazing pistol. Because there is no real competition, Huben can ask what they want in the marketplace and get...

    As owner of both a V1 and a V3, I prefer the V1. The disengage lever is easier to use on the V1. The V3 is awkward to use and has less leverage.

    Huben Got some new stuff for my GK1

    The high cost is not holster or a grip or even the guns. The high cost is the cost of HPA Compressors, tanks, bottles whips, fittings, valves and gauges.
