Huben GK1 in .22 or .25?

Thank you. Trying to get a rig for my 8yr little girl. But no luck so far

@addison You know your child better than us, but I think a GK1 might be a bit much for an 8-year old. The safety features aren’t quite there and they pack a helluva punch. Have you considered looking at the Evanix Viper or the Benjamin Marauder pistol? Or maybe a Notos?

Benjamin was a no go tried it and we both hated it! She loved the leshiy 2 but the cycling of mag was terrible so sent that down the road. Thinking about just buying a ruger mark 4 and putting my silentco sparrow on it and put a brace on it and letting her take down targets and squirrels. We are in the south and that girl loves hunting with her daddy.

@addison I think I get it. I was just thinking of the inability to remove the mag to render the pistol truly safe. That is unique to the Huben platform. With a child I Wouldn’t want to only depend upon the safety as powerful as these little pellet guns are. Have you looked at a Western Mordax? It has a removable mag.

Price is my issue with them! Way to rich for my blood for the trade off but to each his own.

Thought about leshiy classic

Agree. With an aftermarket loading gate, it's trivial to pop the pellets back out to empty. Your point is well taken for sure.
