Oy! This just may be the thing that pushes me over the edge into the Dark Side. Solid, reliable PCPs at sub-$400 prices are springing up like mushrooms in Spring - only the need for HPA has been the real limiting issue for me. (well, that and the whole life-has-been-a-wild-ride-lately thing - 'nuf said)
Now I'm starting down that rabbit hole so many here on AGN have had to navigate: what PCP suits my needs best? Performance-Use-Price is my general formula for deciding. Regulated vs. Unregulated - shot count vs. flexibility of set-up? Bullpup, Traditional Stock, a bit of both? Paper punching and plinking only? Finally man up and start asking around for pesting opportunities here in the heart of Hoosier farmland? Single shot, multi-shot magazine, or... dare I say it... semi-auto?? (not for under $400!)
Yeah, the price of this, or any, compressor will be a YUGE factor in the timing of any plunge I take into HPA addiction. Quick, stuff wax in your ears and tie me to the mast! I think I hear the Siren Song that drives men mad!!
