I have been looking at these pumps for awhile and was wondering if they would hold up. The video is informative about the pump. Thanks.
Just a question, I thought that you are supposed to rest at the bottom of each stroke for a second , so you don't damage the small third stage o-rings by over heating? Is that the case?

Wow that's quite a story. My first PCP was an air force Talon. I remember I was doing 3 months in jail for about $7000 in traffic tickets. They let me out for one day in the middle of my sentence to do some job related thing. From a payphone, (over 20 years ago), I ordered and Air Force Talon from Pyramid Air and the $200 air force pump. When I got home from jail it was waiting for me. I went on to kill every bird within 3 square miles of my parents house. My 20 year old self did not mind pumping the Talon with the $200 pump. Not sure how my 40 year old self would handle it. It must be better than a $39 pump. I heard the Hill Pump is the best.

I have one of these for my Condor SS 25 cal. I'm 56 and had a couple of stints put in just before Christmas. It takes 200 pumps to go from 2000 to 3000 psi. I don't mind the workout. I use 100% silicone treadmill oil to keep it lubed, 8 bucks for 4 oz. Still thinking about a Yong Heng and carbon fiber tank though.

A yeng hong compressor is going to be my next purchase. Please watch my carbon fiber tank video to see how to get a nice tank and fill station under $200. Two hundred pumps is too much. You can't enjoy shooting like that...it's sounds like a great way to stay in shape tough! If your ever hanging off a cliff you will be glad you had a hand pump!
