The Fortitude looks to be just the gun to draw many airgun customers and users into the PPC market, me among them. The gun itself gets sound grades in comparison with its brethren and, especially, the fact that it can pressurized to 3,000 psi with a reasonably-priced hand pump impresses me -- I've always shied away from the more expensive pumps on the market, which includes even the recently appearing reduced price pump that does not provide the higher pressures many guns are built to support. I like it all. Will I buy it myself? Were my resources such that I could plan to purchase and pay for it within three months, I might; but that is not our situation and so I must doubt that I'm in. Instead, I must withdraw and envy the rest of you lucky devils. Do enjoy! ~ Longscout
