I got this gun in a couple of days ago. When I checked the pressure rating it was 3600lbs instead of 4300lbs as I ordered. That makes it the first edition. Today I looked it over. The handle does lock down so you can carry it upside down with your hand through the grip. Under the pump handle is the PCP fill for a probe just next to the safety valve which was labeled 4500lbs. Close by is an allen screw for bleeding the 200cc hpa tank. The pump piston is about 7/16" in diameter, I pumped it to 1300lbs with no effort at all. I does have a dual power level switch and the safety stays where you leave it. The sights seem pretty good though I will be using a scope due to not being a youngster anymore. The iron sights have red and green pieces of plastic that light shines through, can't remember what they are called right now, there goes that not being a youngster again. I would have shot it but didn't want to do that since I am sending it back today. I had ordered it from doddsports.com, they had it listed as a 4300psi edition. I called them yesterday and a ups label showed up in my email today. Can't complain about that. When they get the 4300lb guns in I will be ordering one right away, it's a *(&^ of a neat gun. With this gun, I will be able to fill to 4300lbs with dry air, go out shooting and if I have to pump it I will be able to empty the moist air and fill it again with dry air. When I get the new gun I will let you know how it shoots. I imagine about 2 or 3 weeks if things go well. Regards, Tom
The shipment cleared customs, so sometime next week I should get the full production model in hand.
I wonder what the difference is between the production model (4300psi) and the prototype (3600psi). On my 3600psi model get the best results from 3000psi to 2500psi. Above 3000 the speed falls off. I want this gun to be a success so parts and mods will be available.

Wow, that's OK. If they ship mine Monday, it might be here by Thursday. If, If. Regards, Tom
