Excellent post, seeing all the guns side by side is the way go. Pathfinder for me hands down!

What do you disagree with?Wow! You need to sell it asap.
I've never seen a review of anything that I so adamantly disagree with.
So it's you guy's fault!Because enough of us buy them to support the prices?
Econ 101.
The standard distance for NRA and ISSF-sanctioned air pistol (and rifle) competition is 10 meters, and the ISSF has official targets for those. The 10M pistol target has an 11.5mm 10-ring, the other rings are 8mm and the center area through the 7 ring is printed black. As noted, you can buy those in bulk printed on good paper that punches clean holes which is probably best.
The Wikipedia article on the 10M game is quite a good starting point:

In the UK, 6-yard competition is also popular for smaller interior ranges. Here's a site that has both targets as PDF's for download:

Here is an interesting article describing how to scale the 10-meter target, and its mounting height, for different distances:

A typical 10M match is 60 shots, and I'd say a competitive score at the local level is maybe 500 or so? Here's another Wiki article that chronicles how the world record score has progressed over time (note that the number of shots, target sizes, and scoring methods have changed over time). It's rather humbling:

Tons of other printable targets out there, too - just google "printable air pistol target." Good luck!
Although others provided an answer, here is a great simple video showing the typical ways to fix it if that occurs; yes the pistol is picky about the ammo but if you use the right ammo and have the FPS not too low it is unlikely to jam. I am trouble free with over 2000 rounds with not one issue. Also hold the grip firmly, if you do not it could cause you to do a double shot, you can increase the tension if you prefer. For me I liked how it came but you cannot loosely hold it.Got the Huben GK1, .25, V3, Unregulated.
Had some air in it, and loaded in the pellets. Went to do a test shot, and it emptied out all of the air, and now I cannot shoot, pellet is jammed (I assume), and I can't rotate the magazine any more. (That is also jammed).
Why did it empty out the gas? How can I fix the jam? Any insight?

Wow fx straight up advertise over 100 shots at 900fps with 26gn slug if I can't get close to that I'll send it back false advertising!You won’t even be close to 50 shots, I get 55ish shots at 115bar running 26gr slugs.
