In cases like this, I always suspect that a gauge is lying to you. Secondly, most all male foster fittings have a rubber plug in the center that provides a check valve function, just as an O ring does on probe fill ports. No springs are used. To prevent a check valve function on male foster...

You obviously disagree with my assessment. That's your call. Try it and see. Then get back to the forum with your results.

That would be true if the platform was appropriate. Air pistols at those distances are just wrong. Even rifles at that distance do not humanely kill.

There is no question when it comes down to ballistic efficiency between slugs and pellets. Slugs are proven to be superior. That\s not the question to be asked. The real question is should you be using higher priced slugs in pistols when that advantage exceeds the effective use of the platform...

I shot metal silhouette for years with pistols. The targets were side on silhouettes chickens at 50 yards, something at 100, Turkeys at 150 yards and javelina pigs at 200 yards. These targets were made of 3/8" tensile steel. They not only had to be hit, but they must be knocked down to count...

I find the GK1 extremely accurate, but shooting any pistol at 100 yards is happen chance. It's a pistol. You might hit your target if you are lucky. If your primary targets are at that distance, use a rifle.

I don't think so. I really dislike lazy people new or old.

My Goodness! What a dumb question. Please the many GK1 threads on this very subject.

Of course they are not. Once demand falls, the factory retools the production line. Availability goes away once premade shelf stock is depleted. Factory retooling rarely occurs. It is simply too expensive for the available market.

Your assumptions on adjustability are impractical. It takes time to achieve accuracy. Adjusting these guns in anyway forces the entire process o start again. It is not like hitting a light switch you know..

I feel I need to state my opinion here. Electronics are not sustainable. We see it everywhere and in every product that used electronics. These components do not remain available for very long before they are superseded by new ones. This makes existing products effectively disposable simply...

Savagefox I've read your responses in this thread and they are dramatically different from my extensive experience with the GK1. Now I'm not there and I do not have direct experience with your GK1. I doubt the problem is the gun. I have two GK1s, a V1 and a V3. I prefer the V1. Both guns shoot...

I have seen this many years ago. It is a good guide.

Your hand position should position the first trigger finger joint 90 degrees from the trigger post. Exactly where the trigger post intersects with your finger is a reflection of your finger length and is not relevant. Thrust direction is.

Ezana4CE, I have not spoken about trigger work to you either. You stated the muzzle moves when the trigger is pulled. That indicates side thrust is being used. You need to position your hand in such a way that only rearward motion is applied to the trigger.. On Olympic pistols, trigger position...
