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.

I've heard of the tempest before, how does it compare for accuracy with the Crossman MK1/mk2?

The 1701P is a great target pistol for the money. Not terribly pellet picky and it sips air. If you want to shoot an accurate pistol, it's a bargain.

I would highly recommend getting the Huben GK1 as the performance is just light years ahead of everything out there.

Yes, if you do not have the money right now or not willing to save you could easily get pistols like: the Beeman Tempest, HW44, and many others for a steep discount. Why? that is because of the Huben GK1. Once you shoot one you are highly likely not going to want to shoot the others. That is why I sold my Tempest and HW44; those were great back in the day but today they are so weak and no comparison to the GK1....

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!

I have seen them sold for $625 to $650 used. For $789 I think I would still pay the extra $461 and get the Huben GK1. For me selling all of my other air pistols was well worth it as that paid for the Huben GK1 and it is way more fun to shoot and more versatile to accurately shoot from 10 yards to 50 yards and do so with 800 FPS + as fast as I can pull the tigger....
