question for the folks here that own the Talon p. starting with an empty tank how many strokes does it take to fill the small tank with a hand pump?

Can't remember the number, but it wasn't to bad,...just take your time and enjoy the ride :)

;D ;D Manny unless you are keeping secrets didn't you post that you hand pump all your rifles ? If that is the case for you the talon would be easy , when I pump mine by hand that is considered part of my fitness routine ;D ;D ;D

TalonP's tank is the same size as a 13ci HPA bottle (about 213 CC's). Probably is the same 13ci bottle.
Filling from empty suxs. Getting that first 500psi in seems to take forever, probably because most gauges really don't measure the low end real well. Also don't think pumps work real well until there is enough back pressure to immediately close off the return valve. Hardly ever let a bottle get totally empty, but something like 100 strokes to get that first 1000psi. Normally takes something like 150-160 pumps to go from 1000 to 3000psi. So I'd guess something like 250 strokes from empty.

Pumping is very easy ,plus It's a small tank: mickey mouse stuff. Use your body weight, not just your triceps.
Have fun

Pumping my condor tank to full took 5 x5 min pumping sessions. I break it up to give the pump a break and my self one too. But that is 490cc.

I can not tell you how many pumps, but I can tell you it depends on your pump. The Hill pump will fill with less pumps, but the Benjamin pumps easier.

;D ;D AT the end of the day you either end up in better shape or a whole lot poorer so either way you are forced to work either with sweat or labor for the funds to purchase additional support equipment . Personally I am opting for the Freedom 8 and a couple of Carbon fiber tanks .I am getting lazy in my old age and would rather my bicycle or Kayak for exercise and just shoot my rifles without sweating before pulling the trigger ;) ;D ;D

lol hey Don thats why i had to trade my condor cause it happened to me many times lol ;D ....for me to fill my tank would have to travel bout an hour thats one way so 2 hours round trip just for a fill no way ...fire department told me they send out there tanks for fills so a freedom would be best ...pumping anit bad for a 2000psi fill but 30000psi after awhile it gets boring i spend more time pumping then shootin ....well one day i purchase another condor but for now i,ll fill to 2000psi ........

;D Jorge that's why I haven't retired yet it's also why I got my brother hooked on PCP rifles that way my support equipment costs are cut in half ;) ;) ;D

It took me 235 pumps with a hill pump to fill a 13 cubic inch bottle from 0 to 3000.
