Hey any news on weather they fixed all the problems with the Velox yet, I just purchased one yesterday thinking that they might have cause this is the first one sold since they supposed to have run out of them?

I think so.. hopefully, I got mine in the second batch from pyramid air I think.. it's become my favorite air pistol. only issue is I can fill and shoot 20 shots and it is rated for 19..oh and it's the 22. so on the last shot #20 it sounds like it double fires but of course it can't.i believe it to be the hammer possibly bouncing and allowing a little second burst of air before the action locks open.
I'm very leary unscrewing the air tube full, just knowing how much pressure, it's hard to unscrew but it works fine.
I did get a holster made on Father's Day and it works ok I do wish the pressure gauge was in a different spot or on the other side. that way it would be flat on the one side.

even the umarex notos is too long in my opinion for a pistol, I had to rest it and couldn't freehand shoot it until I shortened it.

I just got my Velox from Pyramid yesterday. Well packed and the case is nice. I fixed a magazine that was having issues. There was a piece of plastic from the molding process that was protruding and binding the cycling process. After the first few magazines, here is what I found out. It stops firing at 100 bar (manual says that). Before I shot 6 mags in rapid fire, I noticed that it would stop firing with 3 rounds left in the second mag. I thought it may be the mag again but checked the air gauge and it was at 100. I refilled and the three rounds fired just fine. I refilled and used the more accurate gauge on the tank instead of the one on the pistol. I found that when the tank read 250 bar the pistol gauge was at around 260. From then on two mags per fill with no issues at all. I put 6 magazines down range ( 6 x 12 rounds = 72) in rapid fire mode with no jams or other issues.It is well built, well balanced and accurate. With the CPHP, I hit a spinner at 10 yards on a tree 3 times out of 12 with both mags using only the iron sights. This is defiantly a keeper. I don't have $1,200 to drop on a Huben K1 so this is just fine for my semi-auto pistol needs. It could become the NOTOS of the pistol world. Perfect is the enemy of good enough.

Does anyone have any advice for me? I am unable to shoot even one full magazine without jamming. My Hatsan Velox does not cycle correctly. Is this common?

That is very common. That's because Hatsan makes low quality guns. A lot of people had problems with the Velox. You have to send it back to hatsan and they will fix it for very cheap. There is an oring inside it that is probably split. That is why it will not build up enough pressure to cycle.

I got a hatssan Sorti refurbished from hatsan. The semi auto did not work. So they guarantee those for 3 months when they are refurbished. So I sent it to them and then they sent it back and did not even fix it..... That is because they knew by the time I sent it back in the 3 months would be over. So that's pretty dirty. Then I sold it for very cheap to a guy because I'm an honest person. He took it apart and replaced the oring inside which is how I learned that when the oring becomes split inside then it will not shoot semi auto because it cannot build up pressure. I am assuming it's the same for the Velox.
Hatsan does make some great guns but you just can't trust them. I would say that the flash regulated and the factor RC and RC snipers are some of the best values you will find and they shoot excellent. Those 3 models if something went wrong and you had to send it in it would be worth it because they performed so well.
