New pistol from FX, whaddya guys think?
- Thread starter TopGun-Airguns
- Start date
Now, that has my interest
It follows the long line of FX innovation.
And looks like a worthy member of the Rancehero, Verminator I & II family
As others have asked
How many $?
literally my 2 cents

Looks very interesting.
Unfortunately my wallet is safe - it will be over 500fps and that will make it a restricted weapon in Canada.

All depend how the "naming" will be printed on the box by the MFG ... carabine, or a pistol =handgun....it will be over 500fps and that will make it a restricted weapon in Canada.
Same happened back in time when the PP700-750 series surfaced - unfortunately printed as a pistol and no matter what you do with it (add a longer barrel and longer stock) stays as a pistol (handgun).
I do have a RPAL, but didn't wanted to have an airgun pistol as restricted, so I abandoned the PP's completely.
Will see what AGS will say about, looks like the company on a longer trip.

Likely a solid barrel like the ranchero, can't imagine they'd put a liner in a 4in barrel system

Looks nice-guessing between $775-$950 with stock. Make it as quiet as my HW44 or better and it might share some shelf space.

It looks to be longer than 4 inches. If you look at how far back it loads, that barrel runs almost the full length of the gun. Maybe 8-10 inches. Hard to tell in the video. Can't tell how far it runs to the business end either because it looks like it has some sort of baffle/air stripper/harmonic balancer/shroud thing at the end of the barrel. But unless it's actually long enough to use the 320mm liner they already make, I agree that it's probably a solid barrel.

Haha. Can't even hold a candle stick to a a Huben GK1. Butt ugly. Go back to drawing board FX.

At first glance, "Nope!"
For a pistol to be useful, it needs to be streamlined and easy to carry. I can't imagine a holster for that thing with that side lever and gauge.
They would be better off to call it a carbine.

I should've specified, I was referring to the pistol, and you're right. It may not be as short as 4 inches, but I also wouldn't see it being longer than maybe six inches.
The carbine length, I can definitely see being somewhere between 8 to 10"

You could do a lot worse than the Huben gk1 v3 semi Auto .25 revolver I can honestly say the power and accuracy with just a 2g pellet puts a smile on my face every time 
the,ll have some job Matching it never mind bettering it but it will be something to see looking forward to it.

A bit off topic, don't you think?
I regularly carry an airgun with me in the barn for vermin that show up for dinner at feed time. A pistol should fit in a pocket or holster reasonably out of the way, while a carbine is used for longer shots after they become wary.

That's in the picture too. My EDC is always a 45ACP +P. Usually double stack P14, P12, sometimes a G30S for weight.
Me likey .45ACP, especially in 1911 form.
