Gk1 vs Evan viper.
- Thread starter Safet22
- Start date
I’m going with GK1. Same tried and true action as Huben K1. 350 BAR max fill vs 200, which means more shots with such small pistol air tubes, if you have a compressor that can go that high. Not to mention, GK1 has a lot more power.

I think it's too early for this conversation. Viper has been out a few months and no one has the GK1 in hand.

The Viper isn't that huge or weighty, and I have pretty small hands. It's a little bulky in terms of height, while the GK1 looks to be slightly longer. I like the design of the Viper. It looks like a bit like a sci-fi gun. Cocking the Viper by pulling back the slide also feels pretty awesome. But the GK1 one looks amazing as well. Both are nice in their own way.

Not even close, ............and I'm the biggest Evanix fan but both in looks and performance the Huben is 100 times better.

I've had an opportunity to get acquainted with both and, as much as I respect the Evanix and the Viper, Gregor has created something truly special in the GK1. Of course, I have a few quibbles, but the GK1 is a gamechanger.

Evanix Viper -
1 - I like the finger groove-less grip of the Evanix. But also, appears to be somewhat short.
2 - Don't care for what "appears" to be a larger receiver group of the Evanix.
3 - Don't care for the LARGE barrel/muffler diameter of the Evanix.
4 - The Evanix safety lever appears to be a little more accessible than the Huben.
5 - I like what appears to be the Foster fitting is actually part of the gun.
GK 1
I don't have an Evanix, so all I can mention is about the Huben.
Like -
1 - The trigger is nice outta the box.
2 - The gun balance is nice (not overly nose heavy), easy to aim/hold on target during offhand shooting. Have light mitigator.
3 - The GK1 "looks" better balanced than the Evanix.
4 - Sort of a "like", mine came with a fill port plug and a mitigator adapter for no additional cost, (KRAZ Cool Guns).
Don't like -
1 - Don't care for the safety lever placement. The pressure gauge and the safety lever are too close, have to use two hands to manipulate the lever.
2 - The trigger guard is...well...!
3 - Don't care for the finger groove grip, also a bit short for me. Need to do some rework.
4 - I'm not normally a safety lever user...been a little difficult to remember to use it. Yes, one accident, no damage.
Expensive, but so far, no complaints. Would buy again, no hesitation.

First thing I will do to my Huben is to take the finger grooves off and paint the grip Black
