Huben Pistol in Da house,.....long term review.

[Privateer]

I got 25 NSA slugs here if you want them. No idea of the size or weight.
They Mic at .248 or so.

Thanks Jeff but the Huben needs bigger slugs that is why the 38gr .254 is the one to get,.....but much thanks for the offer.


Ho yeah I have a bunch of NSA .25 in the house, I still might give them a shot with a bunch of other bullets I have,.....but the EunJin 43gr sure is super sweet out this pistol.

I'll be following this thread.

I'm a ways off from buying any new PCPs, but this is a Halo airgun.

If you like shooting pistol there's nothing else like this one in the PCP world, it's lightyears ahead of anything else,..a new galaxy.

Glad to hear it justifies the cost for your intended use.

Well example :

The Ataman pistol, looks fantastic really nice and at 1000 bucks way cheaper then the Huben pistol but at 14-18 FPE side lever and only .22 never I could spend that cash......fast forward to the Huben pistol, possible 80 FPE  easy tune down to 10-15 ? and that takes no time, Semi-Auto and still the same size of the Ataman didn't even think of the price, worth every single penny.

Huben literally hit it out da park.

[anti-squirrel]

Compelling arguments, all of them.


Pistol-wise, I'm saving for a Tequila, but a pint-sizer firecracker like that Huben would be perfect for Sonja.  I'm a little concerned she'd need to run it tethered with a back-pack full of slugs just to keep up with her "pull the triggeritis" she displays when she shoots her Lelya   A semi-auto slug-thrower with that type of flexibility and power range is pretty darn awesome.

Today as I went to get the Carbon Fiber wrap I found a roll of Black matte wrap that is even thinner then the CF I have so I tested putting it on a galvanized pipe and it went on great and reacted better to the heat then the thicker CF one,

So I will 100% will use it to cover the awful wrap on the pistol,....matter of fact I will also wrap the Blued airtube on my remaining Rainstorm.


Question now to those more informed then me :

How much heat can those Titanium tubes take ?

.....Thanks

Great thing about the Huben pistol is that it's a breeze to detune, literally seconds.

so if you get a .22 and detune it to 15 FPE with the 14.3gr pellets I'm sure you'll get a ton of shots out of one fill

 Good to hear the eujins work great IIR I have some to try in .22 I really want to try my cast BBT slugs next though
As far as heat and the air tube, if for the wrap it should be fine with 180 degrees if tube is low on pressure.

I think carbon fiber wrap generally makes things look kind of cheap especially when it’s purely cosmetic.  I don’t think I’m going to try to change it when mine arrives but it’s too bad that it’s on there.  I’ve seen a few different styles in the various pictures online. I don’t know what they come with these days.

Mine came with the 2nd version wrap, the angular pattern,

Decided, I will wrap it matte black.

So a couple minor things I don't like about the gun, really minor.

And I did something about it,

I dislike lips at the bottom of pistol grips so I knocked it off, also not a fan of wooden grips on this type of gun so I painted it black ( eventually will paint with Rustoleum Truckbed lining )

Didn't like the new style wrap on the airtube so did a matte black wrap for it.

so here is the Nomad Huben Pistol :

That looks like mighty fine work, Manny. I like the new look. Congrats on the new air hand cannon

Thanks Brother, I also like the look way better then how it came,....and the grip is soooo much more comfortable to me.

Long term review.. what does that mean ? How long have you had that thing ?

Long term review.. what does that mean ? How long have you had that thing ?

It means :

Rather then doing a quick You tube video after days of owning a gun I will update this thread for months to come with anything I find out, chrono strings, shot counts  and everything from modding the gun to what kinds of holsters work to some real life penetration testing and such and hopefully end it with a Hog on the ground,...fair enough ?

[aluminumfetish]

Preemptive long term or initial thoughts with options. I guess.

It makes a nice looking black pistol too.

I've done wood rifle stocks with bedliner paint before. And yes, I removed the factory finish and even tried using primer. And it may have been the brand of paint I used but, it never really seemed to set up solid on the wood. Especially if it was hot and humid outside. I hope you have better results.

Nice work!  That's a very clean looking pistol in all black!  I wonder if there is a way to do a matte black rubberized coating like they use on the handles of tools?  That should improve the grip of the grip as well!

Think of it this way, instead of a single shallow video review or a single post the guy has set up a thread which will be dedicated to the long-term review of the gun.  Seems simple enough.
