Super-duper impressive! Unfortunately, I have been making the move away from smaller/shorter guns because I find it easier to shoot well with traditional style guns. I'm happy for your success though!I was very skeptical of Hubens when they first showed up because half the people believed they were Czech and half the people believed they were Chinese and sold by Czechs. A lot of confusion at first, and people took their time setting the record straight. The fact that they were conceived, designed, and built in China turned many off. However, time has proven that they were designed and built right. For a new gun, with a new valve design at the time, they hit it out of the park. This company has more than proven itself. The only reason that I never got one was that you couldn't remove the magazine, a non-starter for me.
Another member brought his to our house and I got to shoot it. Yes, it was impressive but not something I would spend that much money on. I just don't have the need.But I'm happy for those of you who have them and enjoy them.
I’m trying to figure out how somebody managed to cause a jam on one of these things lol. As far as I can tell, that would take some work… no signs of any jam when shooting. If this was my AEA that cost over half the price (now THAT gun was expensive) i would’ve already cleared about five jammed magazines and replaced two valve pins
Sounds like life is finally settling don, Manny. Good to hear you'll be making you way back into the water and on the trail in time. Everything I've read indicates I'd like this pistol. If I was actively hunting, I'd want one in a holster on my side for the coup de grace were I to need such a shot. For hog-hunting, I'd say this sure beats carrying a knife if ya need a quick shot at close range.And while cost is a consideration, I spent a little less on my Leshiy Classic when I bought it new. I spent about the same on Sonja's Lelya, and when we eventually can get back to shooting with any real frequency, I foresee getting a few other PCPs; this (and the Tequila pistol) are on the very short list of pistols we'd consider (probably the Huben for Sonja and the Tequila for me, but that's down the road).Anybody try NSAs yet?
Foe me a pistol has to be either a revolver or a semi, and with open sights.I've tried a bunch of PCP pistols over the years and none did satisfy me, DAQs .357 .45 .50 Big, heavy, single shotEvanix AR6, this revolver style I actually liked but to big, way to big.Custom Marauder .25 @ 57 FPE, pistol wasn't excessively big but the cocking was horrific.REX .357, good balance, but again to big and single shot.Fast forward to the Huben,.....Nirvana

LOL... my pockets ain't deep enough for that.
