What moderator is that? Does it hush the bark down? Or at least bring it down enough to the 6 inch moderators?Those G10 grips really compliment the carbon-fiber tanks. NICE!
I have a set of those very grips sitting in a drawer, and wish I had a second GK1 for them so I wouldn't have to choose "pistol, or carbine?"
Had this thread been about one airgun to do it all, this is what I'd have posted-

No for me as well..No. Crow
So what happens when you finally own that "ONE GUN" that does everything you wanted your airgun to do SO WELL, that you totally forget about shooting all the other airguns you own? The one that made me forget about all of the others now sitting in storage.So, I have been on sort of a quest. It has been in the search of that one gun. You know the one you would keep if you had to get rid of all your other airguns.
It has been an expensive quest for me so far have I bought and sold about 25 pcp’s and seven springers looking for the one. I currently have 15 pcp guns all higher end guns. I have had $800.00 guns up to $2700.00 guns but I just can’t seem to find the one gun I would keep above all others.
My question to you all is have you found that “one gun” ? The one you would keep if you could only have one.
As I write this today I still am torn between four of my current pcp’s. Not sure which I would choose and would not be sure if any are the one. Maybe there is still one out there I have not thought to try. I do lean heavily towards PCP airguns. Springers are just not for me.
So if you have found that one for you post a photo here and if you want share why it is the one for you ( springers welcome). I am hoping there is something I have not tried yet that could be the one for me.
I know this question has been asked before but it seems like there are constantly new airguns being manufactured and released.
EDIT 1/18@ 9:45am.
I have most of the popular FX airguns, Taipan, Edgun, Airmaks, Brocock and have had many other brands. But as my collection stands right now I think it would be between my Taipan Mutant and my Crown MKII with the Crown having the advantage. View attachment 530252Having said that looking at the replies to this thread there are more airguns I need to try.
there is no "the one" because I've discovered too many uses and one can't cover them all
how much can you swap out and still have it be "one gun"?
It looks like a great time to me maybe if you slow down after a little bit, you can get better grouping but then again do you really need anything better than squirrel at 50 yards?It's funny, but the way you worded the question I would have to say "no, I have not found it yet."
But when looked at from another direction, I think I may have found it - the Huben K1. I have one in .22, and I really do love the gun/platform. It is quite accurate, but it is not my most accurate gun - nor the best trigger, best balanced gun for offhand, nor the best from the bench (obviously, as a bull pup). But it is the gun I always grab to shoot, be it for plinking, general shooting, or pesting/hunting. It also seems to be the benchmark that I use for considering other guns I could buy, because I can't find anything I really want that could replace it because I am pretty much spoiled by what a great gun it is (once used to a nice semi-auto, it is hard to go back to manual cocking on each shot). I did buy a Sidewinder after having the Huben, hoping it could be the one, but it simply is not as nice a platform - the removable mag is nice but the Huben is better in pretty much every other metric.
If it were a little bit more accurate than it is, it would probably be the one. Here is a full mag of 19 shots at 55 yards - very good, but not exceptional by any means. But probably as good as one could expect when shooting from the magazine.

If you mean slow my shooting down and go for better accuracy, that is what I was doing with that group - each shot was taken with great care to try to get the smallest 19 shot group I could, to show what the gun can do. It was not fast shooting, and certainly not a semi-auto mag dump - that would have been at least twice the size, maybe even bigger.It looks like a great time to me maybe if you slow down after a little bit, you can get better grouping but then again do you really need anything better than squirrel at 50 yards?
