Well, they've done it again. We get close to the release date and then Umarex moves the date out for release of the Gauntlet. Latest date now seems to be 10/31/17. Beginning to think that those of us that pre-ordered have been taken for a ride.
Umarex Gauntlet release date
- Thread starter Jonah
- Start date
As I posted elsewhere herein, about a week or longer ago, Umarex told me that the Gauntlet isn't expected to be in stock before the middle of November! (They didn't say what year? lol)

I just received emails from Sportsman's Guide and FEDEX telling me that the .177 cal. Umarex Gauntlet that I ordered last March, has been shipped today, and should arrive on Oct.10th! If true, then the dam has broken and I suspect that many of you will also start receiving your Gauntlets as well!

They're either shipping them out or condolences packages 
Glad to hear they are FINALLY shipping if it all is true ! Can't wait to see how people like these.

Well, boys, it isn't a dream! It's for real! I just took delivery of my .177 cal. Umarex Gauntlet!
I unboxed it, and everything is there! Only time will tell how well it works and holds up, but yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and there also is a Gauntlet and they are being delivered - at least, Sportsman's Guide is delivering the .177 cal. ones they sold last March!
I've looked everywhere and found nothing to read, or view, about the .177 cal., so I might have one of the first ones sent out?
I know I have one of the least expensive ones sold, having only paid $242.99, delivered, for mine!
I won't be shooting it very soon, so before anyone asks me how it shoots, save your breath.
I'm sure someone else will post a review or video that will answer that question.
Since I also have a .22 cal. on order from Sportsman's Guide, and I don't have it yet, I have to believe the estimated shipping date of Dec. 1st, which is all I have to go on? Keeping this in mind, those of you who are waiting for the .22 cal. version might have a longer wait than I did? Same holds true for those who purchased yours from someone other than Sportsman's Guide?
I wanted to let everyone know the good news, so I haven't even read the owner's manual yet, and went right to this notification.
The only confusing thing I noticed about the gun is printed on the side of the gun - "Maximum pressure 1,250 psi (86 bar)"? Not sure if that is the fill pressure, or the regulated pressure? I thought that fill pressure was supposed to be 3,000 psi, regulated to 1,100 psi? Oh well, that's my question of the day to research? I won't be filling the reservoir until I am positive about those noted pressures!

I believe your the first one to have a commercial gauntlet! Congrats! I believe the 1250psi is what they come regulated at as the tanks are 3000psi.

I wish they would stop pushing the date back. I have seen the date move from july all the way to the end of October. Will I every get my Umarex Gauntlet? Find out on the next episode of DBZ.

Sorry!
I don't have time to post photos or to perform any sort of review, and won't be doing so.
I only wanted to let you all know that I, at least, have received my Gauntlet, for which I have waited since placing my order last March, and that mine came from Sportsman's Guide. Thus Gauntlets have become a reality in the commercial realm, and it is a distinct probability that you who have also ordered a Gauntlet, should be seeing yours arrive in the near future.

Here is video by Southern Gunner. You can get shot count, chrony numbers and 30 yard accuracy with the 177 cal. This is by an production model bought by someone so no sponsored advertisement.

Thanks for the fast, cursory review, blackdiesel! You took a lot off my shoulders by getting it out as quick as you did. I think we both got our guns about the same time yesterday, didn't we? I must agree with you, this inexpensive .177 cal. PCP air gun is very impressive when unboxed. I found myself mouthing your comments as if they were my own. I followed you right up until you pulled the trigger. I haven't gotten that far yet. It would seem that these are not only going to be inexpensive, but they are going to be fine shooters as well.

You should have taken credit for it! I have seen Kenny's reviews before and they are always deep and interesting.

I think I'm probably going to buy one of these, as my first PcP, by December. Looks like a solid air rifle, and terrific buy!
