Are there any lefty shooters here? I see the V3 charge handle points up instead of down, and maybe no longer interferes with a south paw, but am hoping to hear from someone actually using the platform in the field.
Thanks!
Thanks!

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.

I’m gonna assume your handle means you’re here in America
. I’d use one of the authorized dealers, New England Airguns, or Krazkool

KrazCool, Ares Airgun Tagtical, New England Airguns are my preference in that order for a V3 in the United States.

This is the first negative thing I have heard about the pistol I guess I'll find out for myself.

@Muzzlestuffer that guy created an entire thread with the same title as that video. Look it up if you are interested in his critique focused on the negative aspects the GK1 in his opinion.
Edit: His point about the overall safety of the GK1 is a valid concern in my opinion.

Savagefox appears to be disgruntled. Buyer's remorse?
The GK1 has a couple flaws, but overall, I'd rate it as quite good. It can be adjusted to very decent power, I'm shooting 28 grain slugs in my 22 around 38 FPE. It will adjust quite a bit higher, and much, much lower. Loading can be a little fiddly, but after a while it's pretty easy. Dunno, I wouldn't give mine up. Is it expensive, yes. Does it provide a value that most other pistols can't? Heck yeah.

The video is stupid, also even if you type the exact title, youtube won't show it because it seems that the algorithm punishes bad reviews on products.
But, despite all the filler, the problems adressed are very real. You have the elf vision, just happy to have a semi-auto powerfull air pistol because it's cool, and the party pooper rusian girl vision, that the thing is abominable and unsafe when you compare it to real guns.

Just got mine from New England airguns in .177
been very frustrated what sight to use on since my plinking range is from 5 to 35yds.
right now I using my Diana lp8 magnum’s red dot which is working fine but I also ordered a 2-9-32 cvlife ao scope.
yeah man,
this gk1 is fun to shoot,
not gonna lie,
eats ammo a lot faster for sure,
only thing i really hate so far is the loading gate that also acts as stopper for pellets from falling off,
real pain for me so I ended up ordering this magnetic loading gate from ares air gun tactical,
let see how that feels once it gets here,
oh yeah also ordered buck rails 3d printed suppressor for like 35 bucks shipped ,
lets see how that turns out!!!
the stock carrying case is trash honestly no room for sight or suppressor mounted.
i got about 5 mags (@ 550 fps) using 8.4g before I reached 10mpa on the gage
as I can only fill up to 30mpa
honestly I m still contemplating in my mind if bought this semi auto pistol out of sheer hype or I wanted to try how semi auto feels maybe!!!

Just received the buck rail suppressor,
something really funny happened,
First of all I was not too confident that this 35$ including shipping will even perform anything close to 0db or impulse air 350,
now check this,
Installed it and took like 10 shots with my gk1 .177
and the shots were off the target like good 3 inches of spread at 5 yds,
peaked inside the suppressor and saw that few shots were grazing past the first metal ring inside it,
used an appropriate size drill bit with hand force and cleaned the shaving out and and took some shots and pretty dog on as my 0db would!!!
funny right!!!
oh and sound suppression is on par with my 0db honestly quite surprised.

you have to get Krazcool new Falcon shroud. It was built for such a scope as yours. If you call him hell show you a pic of it. He doesnt advertise them but does sell them cheap!
