Ataman AP16 Regulated Compact Air Pistol,

Anybody have one yet and what are your first impressions

It is a nice looking pistol, that much is for sure!  I think the price point has kept a lot of the folks from making the jump though.  I'd love to have one, but I can't see myself spending that much on one.

My thought is if it is a really great pistol I will save my pocket change and maybe snatch one up when one makes the resale in classifieds

MY wife wants one because they look like good old M1911s.  She's very fond of the slab grips on the old workhorse semi-autos, and while she likes my SPA pistol, a multiishot is more appealing.  When I told her it was the pistol or new sparklies for her ears, she went with sparklies.

Aside from the price, the high fill pressure means you need a tank.  I have no beef with filling a 3000 or even 3200 psi tube, but 4500?  I'd need to buy fill equipment on top the pistol.  On the other hand, it is certainly a piece of quality machining.

I've actually been waiting on this since September but the in stock date keeps getting pushed back every time so who knows when it will actually show up
