I have a P2 with an assisted valve. No slow first shot. There was a slow first shot but it was easily remedied. That coyote I plugged a couple weeks ago was a 180 yard cold shot. A lot of my guns live a life of cold shots so it would be super irresponsible to have mystery first shots. I remember when I got back into FX Impacts in 2020. Had them dialed in accuracy wise after I addressed some issues. But when something would need taken out I would drop the mag and blast a bunch of shots into anything nearby that was soft. Then put the mag back in and hopefully still get a shot off. Finally I said what the F are you doing, this is stupid. That fix involved some thought and a collaboration of minds.The one thing I dint like about balanced valves that I'm aware of is the slow first shot. I'm not sure if all do but does seem like quite a few have stiction issues which for my shooting is unacceptable so I tend to stick to standard valved guns.
I gotta say all of these posts and as far as I can remember Impact hasnt been stated. A few Crowns. I don't even think Panthera made the list. Alittle shocked to be honest. Unless I missed them. Also R5M hasn't been stated much maybe 1? I'd put that in my Top 3 airguns of all time with the Taipan Long and Evol as most consistent, accurate airguns I've owned
