Are you strictly PCP?

[PasadenaMike]

I have noticed that I don’t care much about my multi pumps, break barrel and co2 guns since PCPs have ruled my world. Nothing offers the power, convenience,  accuracy and fun my PCPs deliver. I have very limited time to shoot and play with guns so when I do I don’t mess with anything but my PCPs. How about you guys ?

[threesuns]

When I finally got on the PCP band wagon, that was my primary focus. I now find myself returning to my MSPs.

Gotta love the classics.

Ummmmm...no

Same, I jumped into pcp pretty hard because your right, when they are set up right the other power plants are not as good across the board as a pcp.
 Wait a second on the hate comments guys lol, I could be wrong there, but I don't think I am, but I'm not aware of a springer, multi pump or co2 gun that can match the effectiveness of a pcp, especially  that you can buy new off the shelf currently. Sure some can get close, but what about that lightning fast follow up shot? What about when you need power at distance?
 But, after a while it gets boring to me. What about the nostalgia of the old pumps? It's relaxing to pump 4 times and plink the next can or spinner, you don't need 50fpe to do it either. What about the challenge of getting a springer to where you can consistently hit targets? Also, it's nice to be able to swap a c02 every so often and shoot all day with out hand pumps, bottles or compressors.
 I guess bottom line for me, some times I only have a few minutes and it's great to be able to grab a rifle, walk out the door with a tin of pellets and have everything you need.

I got into PCPs looking for something to deal with potential predators (I've got a decent sized flock of laying hens) that would also be inexpensive to shoot with easily accessible ammo. The first PCP was a 25 cal Eagle Claw capable of 75 FPE making it a nice rimfire analog. It was so fun to shoot that I practically ran down the rabbit hole and have a pcp in 177, 22, 25, and 45 now. The 177 is the small game hunter shooting 10.03 grain slugs, the 22 is my plinker shooting CPHP or whatever is cheap and accurate, the 'Claw as already mentioned, and the 45 is for hunting medium to large game within 75 yards with slugs I cast myself. All are very affordable to shoot and so far I've avoided purchasing a PB, but I am tempted to get one. For the novelty I did buy a Ruger airhawk tuned by Mike M. and a Daisy 901 pumper, but they are rarely shot. Even the more powerful PCPs don't come out very often, I mostly shoot the 177 and the 22.

I would like to get a couple of CO2 guns, but mostly for the novelty. A c600 is always on my radar and I plan on jumping on one when the time is right. Worst case scenario it appreciates in value. For a new CO2 the Chaser is always in and out of my shopping carts, but it's just so bulky compared a 22lr or other target pistol. A modern version of the c600 in 22 and 177 would be amazing, because nearly every other CO2 semi-auto pistol is a replica.

Im 75 with all the health related chit that comes with it…having said that …I spent the other morning shooting my multi pumps…even at 4-6 pumps was tuckered out …same goes for hand pumping my 3 PCP….for backyard plinking I think i will pick my C02’s….good luck

[Trucker3573]

Will never shoot another break barrel now I went down the pcp rabbit hole.

[starlingassassin]

same here.

i had a few co2 and sold them.

and in reality,
i have discovered,
myself,if its not pcp and regulated......not interested lol

Yes I’m with you. They are so impressive. I just picked up a used Vulcan 3 in 30 cal. Holy smokes on that gun. I’m having someone detune it as it arrived to me shooting a 62 gr avs slug at 980 fps. I was like holy sh—-.  That’s way more than I need for my yard. It’s a power house.

Same here, I own 3 springers and 1 pumper. Only the PCPs come out to play, I simply prefer using them.

HECK NO!
What could be easier that a Springer?
Smack it open, load a pellet, close it, and shoot.
Period...Dot...It.

No Pumping, no compressor, no whips or foster fittings to worry about.
Ever want to shoot and realize you are low on charge and need to refill?
Or a long shooting session and have to stop and refill to keep shooting? 
A Springer is ready whenever you are.

[Firewalker]

Can't use break barrels any longer, cant pump the pumpers anymore, CO2 just dont work up here in the North Country, PCP's are the only game in town for me now.

[bear air]

Yes. Only one springer left and it my wife's. I gifted all the others I had. Beginning to lean towards the big bores too for some reason lol.

[PasadenaMike]

Pretty safe to say break barrels are an endangered species? Probably not but the popularity seems to be dwindling

[kerplunk]

Only shooting one type of airgun is like only eating one flavor of ice cream. The only type I don't shoot with some regularity is MSP. It's like rum raisin; I get that other people like it, but it's not for me. In fact I'll probably be listing my 392 in the classifieds soon.

I wouldn't say they are an endangered species, I believe most of us still have one or two (and a multi-pump or two) in their stables for those times when air/compressor/pump are not readily available, at least I do. Yes, PCPs are more convenient to choot, especially the repeaters followed by the CO2 ones but an ounce of prevention... for those SHTF days. Being that I haven't bought a compressor yet and leisure time is not available now, I relegate my few chooting minutes to a plain ol' CO2, mostly the Peacemakers.

I'll keep an eye out for it

[PasadenaMike]

That’s what I love about the community. We’re all sending lead just in different ways

[tennx]

I actually kept 1 springer…a webley spector .177…really easy shooter and accurate @ a 30 yard tin can…sold my 2 Hatsan…good luck

Dont get me wrong …I really like my PCP….but for a couple of hours of low physical energy shooting…I like the QB’s…

[superchikn]

I have several PCPs and they get the most mileage on them especially for hunting or pesting.
A few CO2s which I don't shoot outdoors much when the temps are below 70.
I love keeping my D34 177 and Summit Ranger in the rotation.  I really enjoy shooting them.  I don't shoot them much in sub freezing temps because I don't want to wear gloves.
MSPs are very meh for me.  The only one I enjoy shooting is my Blue Streak.
