Been chasing " THE " PCP pistol since I came into airgunning ( had a Bunch, all kinds ) and this is it ! .......Nirvana.

They aren't cheap, but are cheaper from a U.S. Vendor like Kelly at Kraz Kool Airguns!  Kelly includes the adapter also.

I have some white cotton gloves to wear when I shoot it....

Not the sort of thing that would usually get my attention at all but this one has me interested.   Before I would buy one, I'd have to hear from a few long time owners that have a lot of pellets through theirs.   Like at least 10,000.    I shoot a lot and the guns I like the most, I do a lot of shooting with and they have to be durable.

I have been Dealing with New England Airguns for my GK1 needs, they have been offering the same great service. They just listed leather holster for them $60 and up.
 I ordered a $60 one and a spare loading lever as a just incase.

The Huben pistol is the same action of the rifle , that has been out several years and has great reviews.

I don't see a holster listed on their website, is it made specifically for the GK1?  If so, I'll be watching for your review of that holster.  I have one of those one size fits all holsters from Amazon, but would prefer something made specifically for the GK1!

Yes custom fit, just for the GK1 and also the lefty version.

AMAZING !!!!!!!

The Huben pistol is simply spectacular, even better then I imagined.



Today Billy came up the North Shore with 2 Huben .25s and I was going to take him up the mountains to shoot but on the way we run into a friend of mine that invited us to his property.



I got a bit distracted when a pretty big fire started in the middle of town so I took a couple rides down to check it out as Billy was setting up.

The Huben pistol is phenomenal, small, light, really well balanced, even the grip feels great ( I was expecting to have to do some reshaping but it's not the case )

The pistol is fun, easy to shoot well and very accurate, big plus my EunJin "Nomads" 43gr pellets fit perfectly in the magazine and they are also accurate, I was able to hit golf balls with open sight at a pretty good rate and the last group on paper was 7-8 shots in a tight almost touching group.



And to finish this post,.......17 shots from 5000 psi 350 BAR would take the gun down to 180 BAR at that point I refilled the gun several times to 5000 psi with my 5-6 year old cheap handpump in no time.



I'm absolutely in love with this pistol and cant wait to get one in my hands.

I got mine in .22 caliber. It is a quantum leap forward in air pistol design! If you want huge power, you can have it, and still get a full 19 shot magazine's worth of shots! Don't mind dialing it back some? I have mine set for 750 ft/sec with JSB 18.1 grain domes and get a whopping 45 shots off of a 4500psi charge! That's UNHEARD of in the world of air pistols! I have to believe that there are going to be some Hubens disected by other manufacturers in order to learn the secret of how this hammerless air valve design works...

My .22 version should be here on approxthe same timetable, depending on clearing customs and the like. Waiting patiently...

[Nomadic Pirate]

Yeah, I honestly compared it to my .22 PB pistol.

Yeah pretty much,.....unbelievable in such a small, light package with that many rounds on tap and semi-auto, phenomenal.

I know this is well-known, but it’s worth mentioning how sweet it is that on this next level pistol, the action is not some new untested technology to be beta tested by early adopters. it has been worked out with great success in the K-1 rifles.  That is the sweetest part of it for me…

For any of you who have one or have one coming, I’d be interested in hearing why you chose the caliber you did. I’m really on the fence between 25 and 22 should I ever decide to get one.

I’m not asking the old “whats better 22 or 25” question here. I mean, what are your thoughts on the benefits of the calibers with respect to the limits and performance of the platform? 


If I’m being honest, I’d mostly be plinking, but with aspirations to work on my offhand shooting skills. I would love to be able to shoot things that I cast and I have a bunch of .25 molds… with the .25 Talon P I felt the 12” barrel was underpowered for most of my molds. 

I’m still unclear on what the expected upper limits of energy are for the 22 versus the 25 and need to see some shot strings with different weights of pellets and tunes.




How long until someone comes up with a carbine conversion or long barrel modification?

I already have the carbine version, it's the K1!  LOL!  I chose .25 for the GK1 because my K1 is .22.  I thought it would be a nice complement.  I also have an Ataman AP-16 in .22, which is pretty much the same size as the GK1, so having an accurate .22 and .25 pistols was appealing.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this comment, but in .25, I feel the GK1 has the power needed for home defense.  Suppressed, it's whisper quite, packs a lethal wallop and has 17 full power rounds available that can be delivered in extreme rapid succession.  It's not the primary reason, but I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end and I'd pity the fool who wants to try and break in to my house, because once the GK1 is empty, I still have the K1 and SK-19 as back-up!
