Other Air Pistol Recommendations

[chfj]

I'm new to PCP air gunning and the bug has bitten hard. I have two new rifles (FX Impact M4 and RAW HM1000x) and I'm having a blast with them.

That said, I really want to get an accurate, quality PCP Pistol to shoot at 10-25 yards.

Please provide recommendations for make, model and caliber.

THANKS!

Gk1 hands down. Any caliber is good

Nothing wrong with a PRod.
Not expensive like your rifles but when it needs service (all PCP pistols and rifles will!), you can do it yourself…
I have had three.
This one is spectacular!

Crosman 1701P, any high quality 10 meter competition pistol. I have an FWB P8X. Baikal 46M (not a PCP), it is amazing. I would like to try a GK1 but I really don't need that much oomph ;-) All are .177.

I do love my 1701, 1720 and Prod. Generously called pistols.

Those grips... oh my

 

[elwoodblues]

Na the GK1 is the best it will go nicely with your other choices

Weihrauch HW44. Hand Canon at 12 fpe and can hit cans at 55 yards with a red dot. 20 shots per fill and only 200 BAR fill. Great trigger. Youtube is your friend.

HW75 would do nicely out to 25 yards . (10 to 25 is what you stated )

EDIT 4/16 : just bought a HW 75 and i can now personally confirm , Fantastic shooter out to 25 yards and farther , very accurate '
Originally i was going on a trusted friends shooting shotgun shells @ 75 yards

 

[jarmstrong]

Weihrauch HW 44 acurate , well built,,,, has power,,,, .177 or.22 choice is yours,,, with factory moderator, quiet as a church mouse

 

[chfj]

Thanks for all of your input. Looks like I have lots of research to do!

Looks like the Huben GK1 is a little hard to come by. Any stateside sources for them?

If you've got the money, then get the GK1, and you might want to do it now, given what's going on with tariffs.

The following pistols aren't PCP's, but they're the air pistols I would be shopping for if I didn't already have them...Crosman 600, Crosman Mk1, Webley Tempest, Beeman P17.
The one air pistol I wouldn't buy again is the Beeman P1/HW45. It's performance is disappointing considering it's price point.

I also wouldn't purchase a Hatsan Jet again, but I regard that as more of a carbine than a pistol, which is something that PCP air pistols seem to inevitably morph into. People want more shots per fill and better consistency, so they opt for larger reservoirs and then find that the gun is too large and awkward to be used as a pistol and they add a folding stock and a scope.

These are the two sources I'm aware of, but I have no idea what their current inventories are like.

And get a moderator for it. The Huben moderator is quite good, but without one the GK1 is LOUD.

This is really all you need to know.

I own 3 of them in .25 caliber and Kelly from Krazcool is the place to get them.

There's a super long thread here on the GK1 that gives you hundreds of oerspectives on that pistol.

I saw the 1701 on amazon as well as some other online sellers. Sometimes Amazon seems dodgy in the airgun scene. Is it worth chasing down the 1701 (with a much more bland grip)?

It's a great pistol. Very accurate with a great trigger. It doesn't come with a rear sight. Many use a red dot or pistol scope to take advantage of that accuracy. I bought mine thinking that it would scratch my itch for a true 10 meter target pistol. I didn't, therefore the others in the photo. So if you have that itch, maybe hold out for a good deal on the real deal (I bought my FWB used). Cheers!

Thanks for the perspective

I highly recommend Zack, here is his website,

Huben Airguns

I also own a FX M4 and can tell you that the Huben GK1 is hands down the best air pistol I sold all of my other pistols after I got the GK1; why? because once you shoot the GK1 you get spoiled for the accuracy, semi-auto shooting, large capacity mag, reliability, and most of all the power! Most air pistols are so weak with no power and only can shoot 10-30 yards. The GK1 can easily shoot 50 yards plus! The GK1 has power that is the same as many rifles, how many pistols can shoot 800-950+ FPS. You can put a folding carbine stock to give it more versatility. With your M4 and if you get a GK1 then you would likely not need another pistol.
