Just curious if this product is really that much better than the 50 dollar China pumps? I realize it has a better filter/drying system but is it really worth 3X more?

Only thing I can imagine is the 1/2 stroke is on the final stage to reduce pumping effort
I'm not buying it LOL

Still a Chinese made pump with a few added bells and whistles and a hole lot of marketing BS. I am betting you will get the same use out of the less expensive pump and have money left over for a cup of coffee or something else.

Have money left over for many tins of ammo! Get the cheapo pump. If you are going to pay that much for a pump, might as well buy the Benjamin for a bit more money.

Rather buy 3 of the 50 bucks ones and rotate when you are filling not letting them get warm.

I have that very GX hand pump, and I bought it for around $160.
At first, I could not fill my gun ‘cuz the fill probe was kinda deep, so when I sent my complaint to AMAZON/ANKUL and they refunded me without requiring me to send it back
I just added an O-ring on top of the existing one and that was it.
Comparing it against my Chinese pump (HIRAM?), which was less than $30 shipped to my door months ago and right after I bought the GX, it is much superior in build.
It works much smoother and is more solid.
