In lieu of qualified responses, having owned a Ghost and now owning a Huben GK-1 pistol, I'll offer semi-qualified opinions. The two guns you ask about are very different animals. So let's start with the differences.
My first imprerssion of the Ghost was, "Man, it's heavy (for its size). Feels like it's built like a bank vault." Those initial impressions never went away, probably because it is (both). It also has a truly match-grade, multi-adjustable trigger. These qualities theoretically make it capable of greater practical accuracy (in human hands), whether or not it is capable of greater absolute/potential accuracy. Nevertheless, and despite wanting to, I never bonded with my Ghost.
Assuming the trigger and/or heft of my GK-1 pistol reflects that of a K-1, my reactions the first time I picked up and shot a GK-1 (now mine) hopefully speak some volumes. But first, understand I neither wanted to like a GK-1, nor expected to buy one.
"It's surprisingly pistol-sized (considering such a POWERFUL PCP pistol). It's also got quite a light heft" Then after the first shot, "Better trigger than I expected" (given it's a semi-automatic). After the third shot I turned to the owner and, WITH A HUGE GRIN bubbled, "I GOTTA HAVE ONE!"
All these reactions have only been reinforced in the thousands of rounds I've put through it since, as the trigger-action has gotten even better, and the accuracy has proven almost as excellent as the most accurate and expensive air pistols of the HUNDREDS I've owned. That said, a competition air pistol it really isn't. However, a funner air pistol, and/or a better hunting air pistol not only doesn't exist, but there are no close seconds (place).
For additional perspective (outside air power), the GK-1's trigger action and accuracy (to 50 yards and beyond) come uncomfortably close to rivaling that of my Smith & Wesson Model 41 target pistols.
The Model 41 averages 1" groups at 50 yards, the GK-1 averages 1.20" to 1.5" at 50.This 19 shot (full magazine) GK-1 fifty-yard group measured 1.45" c-t-c.
Self-explanatory.
BTW, despite its light heft, after thousands of rounds through my GK-1 I have the impression it is built like a bank vault!
Hope this helps.
