I have not shot this yet, but I did test the trigger. I never knew what a "clean break" was until today. HOLY HECK!!! So nice! From what I can see in the first 30 minutes, this pistol is well worth $1250 and it's no doubt the best air pistol ever invented. It holds alot of rounds and I'm guessing it shoots pretty hard, since the K1 rifle is 3X the foot pounds of a normal PCP (80+ foot pounds in .22). Video on the way. In stock now here: ARES Airgun Tactical ...also sold by KrazCool.com and New England Airgun

UPDATE: These come in .177, .22, and .25 caliber. You get 45 shots per fill from 3200psi to 1000psi. The GK1 shoots a (10gr) .177 pellet at 1030 FPS, a .22 (18gr) at 920 fps, and a .25 (25.39gr) at 840 fps. Magazine holds 19 shots in .177 and .22, and 17 shots in .25 cal. This one has the 1/2 UNF adapter added. Not sure if future versions will have threaded barrels. The 1/2 UNF barrel extension can be removed for a sleaker look. It has an 85cc air tank and the power is adjustable. 11mm dovetail optics rail. Weighs 2.6 pounds (1.2kg). Front and rear sights are both adjustable. Fiber Optic front site. Walnut grip. The barrel is 8.3 inches long. Overall length is 12.5 inches.

How do you fill it?

Fill probe, already machined, poke it in the side of the gun. These come in .177, .22, and .25 caliber. You get 45 shots per fill from 3200psi to 1000psi. The GK1 shoots a (10gr) .177 pellet at 1030 FPS, a .22 (18gr) at 920 fps, and a .25 (25.39gr) at 840 fps. Magazine holds 19 shots in .177 and .22, and 17 shots in .25 cal.

Actually I was asking about your air source. Hand pump, electric pump, scuba tank, etc.

Oh, I use the best fill source in PCP, a Yong Heng hooked direclty to the gun. That thing is vicious. It pumps my rifles up in about 1 minute. Never wears out because it only runs 1-2 mins at a time. Yong Hengs are NOT for filling giant SCBA tanks. I learned that after blowing up about 6 of them. This one has been with me 2 years, it's like new. Not even a Yong Heng..it's a knockoff.

Wow! I like it a lot. Put a short folding stock on it? And the Leishy 2 is history… I would love to use one as a mini carbine. Rata-tat-tat….

Great idea, You could make a wood skeleton style stock that replaces the pistol grip. A cheap CNC router setup could do it. To bad I'm too busy making videos to learn CNC. Darn it!

Are you going to glue the optic on? No rails, that top is as smooth as a baby's butt. Ok, not quite, there is a protrusion on the right side.

Yes, it has an 11mm rail. I don't own any fancy optics. I may be able to steal one from my Dad. He got one last year that he said improved his shooting like 30%+. I need to find out what it is. He has a CCW permit to carry, so he's into his pistols.

LOVE the pic with the Pistol scope. I will put my Weaver Pistol scope on it for accuracy testing. YES!!!!

Ok, thanks, it's not like your reaching out too far so even a simple red-dot is better than iron sights for people like me that suck with iron sights, I can barely hit steel at 100 yards with my Xd9.

I chose to mount a Red dot on a dovetail to pic adapter , which allows mounting a dovetail laser in front for close range work:

I can take it in to my chicken coop and nail rats with the laser shooting from the hip. Very quiet with the Impulse Air 1200!

Another tip for Nate: Try the predator GTOs at 890-900 if you can get some. They shoot with stunning accuracy from the GK1, likely because they’re so hard that they don’t get dinged from the aggressive action of magazine rotation or transitioning into the barrel.

Nate, go to your room, and stay there. Just post videos on $100 stuff, ok? Other than my pb cc pistols, I have had no interest in handguns. Now I just realized how much I need this. You're killing me. Still one of my favorite reviewers. Can't wait for the YouTube icon to show up. As your little buddy would say, "HELL YES". Cheers, Bill and Addi.
