I enjoy both springers and pcp but pumping sucks for a pcp . I do own two pumps and i only use them on my two condor ss because them guns donot have regulators and only have a few orings. For my other pcp i have a compressor with carbon fiber omega tank .

You do need a cheap pump that uses your car battery to fill it. I have a hand pump in case of emergency. I learned early that hand pumps aren’t your best friend. Hatsan is a good starter company for pcp adventures, enjoy the ride.

Id tune the gun down to around 920 or 890 best velocity

If you want a compressor get a Yong heng I’ve had mine for about 6 months don’t get a vevor they are dookie

I love my pcp airguns best thing I’ve ever bought! Enjoy yours!

I knew him and Herky

Notos is the best pcp to try for your first and hand pumping....once filled i get 24 shots (two 12rd mags) at a regulated 20fpe then it takes 36 pumps to fill back up. Of course that Hatsan is a more powerful, but that's a lot of pumping to try out pcp.

Hand pumping dose not look fun wow is it powerful I'll stick with my 14fpe 🎉 Happy holidays to you and your family

I started out with a 500cc 9mm big bore and a hand pump, I now have 4 compressors, and a hand pump for backup ? LOL

Going too fast, try heavier pellets for better accuracy.

Would recommend getting a cheap Chinese electric pump and a small bottle, my unregulated pcp shoots best between 180-90 bar. Good luck, it’s new to you and a bit of a learning curve. Great channel 👍🏻

I got tired just by watching you work out😂😂😂.. I'm just gonna stick to my Gamo break barrel. Less work...😂

Tip of the day, always have the hw99 in the trunk of your car….🚗

Its a Lothar Walter barell, it has a 1:17 twist it likes slugs that go fast.

Always elevate your rifle above pump or compressor level, put a box or something under, water will get into cylinder and thats not good.

I wouldn't reduce the hammer spring move up to a heavier pellet. My Hatsan Flash is putting out 40.63 ft lbs using H&N Baracuda 21.14 grn pellets and groups at 30 yds are dime size.The Crosman Hollow points are only 14.3 grn and to light for that power level. I use them in my Beeman R9 which they work well in.

Trust me if your hand pump is a stage 3 spend the extra few bucks and buy a stage 4 and that will cut your pumping in half.

Haysan Flash, good choice for your fist pcp. 👍

Merry Christmas Chuck and to your family as well.

Congratulations on the PCP, I have a couple. I agree a good Springer is a better survival tool and I just love how simple and effective they are.

Nice video congrats on the new pcp. Can I offer one thing that I wish someone would have told me when I bought my first pcp. Those hand pumps put water in your air tank. A moisture filter will help you preserve the life of your air rifle. I have to send in my pcp for a leak because I didn't use a moisture filter.

I started with a hand pump and it wasn't fun to stop after 12-20 shots to refill them so I got used a ShoeBox compressor to fill a big carbon fiber tank tank that was a fire department surplus along with a quality gauge and hose. Still dang expensive to go even that route. Messing with the compressor and tank is why I just stopped shooting my PCP's. That and dealing with keeping moisture out of my tank. Earlier this year I started looking at these little portable compressors that run off either 110 or a car battery for 70-120 dollars. I was going to keep it simple and just get a small one but talked myself into a large portable that can fill small bottles and I might even top off my big tank with a little at a time. I haven't even took the compressor out of the box yet, but need to get it out and do some video's of it and my PCP's. I still have a BSA R10 and my Benjamin Discovery. I had a .25 caliber AirForce Escape that was like a .22 long rifle in power. Too much power for shooting at the field I use really. It was the first air rifle I had that would zip through a 2x4 and left a huge dent in my heavy steel target trap rated for .22 LR.

Luckily you didn't forget the word "PCP" in the title of your video.🤔

Nice honest review and tells me why i would never switch to PCP, what a complete load of flaffing around. I'll stick to spring/break like i have done since the 70's as a lad here in the UK. Cheers

Sounds like a great price for your pcp Chuck. Hand pumping will compliment your strength training. Take care.

Have one PCP. Enjoy the heck out of it, but as far as taking it afield I’d be taking a pumper or my Springer. Don’t wish to carry a pump or an air tank with me. But I do enjoy using mine if I’m close to my truck or at home. Good review, I’m with you those air tanks are out of my budget, but would be a good investment, thanks 🙏

Great video thanks 👍

I started with a hatsan break barrel . Then went to a .177 flash . Since then I upgraded to a couple FX pcps and fell in love with the accuracy of my new rifles . I will never get rid of my first ones but there is no comparison . It's like comparing a chevet to a porch or Lamborghini .

I love my springers! So many good ones out there. You got a heck of a deal on that rifle! PS: How big is a quarter? What do you do if you don't have one? Don't you have a ruler?

Fire station have 4500 psi bottles you can get cheap,walmart have pumps for 350. Scuba shop here wont refill those bottles because theyre not scuba certified. Exact same bottles certified 600 or more guys get for 50-100 bucks. Makes life easier and wasnt something i learned until after spending way more than i needed too.

I always think of a pcp as a power tool it's efficient and makes some jobs easier, but requires far less craft than a hand tool to use, a springer is far less forgiving of poor technique or consistency which forces you to be on your game which is no bad thing, they're so much more satisfying to shoot ..God bless 👍👍

You disappoint me master 😁 Seriously though I hope this works out for you. It was definitely a good deal. Don’t know much about the Flash or any Hatson pcp but what I do know when it comes to pcps in general when using a pump is to bend ur knees w/ur body bent over the pump when pushing down. It will make pumping alot easier Hope this helps and GOD BLESS

That looks like the same magazine as the Diana chaser I have.

That was the most informative video ive seen yet about beginning pcp. Its not for me 😮 Thanks Chuck 😊

Did you pump it up from empty?

I like my pcp but i like my Weihrauch springers more for all the same reasons you mentioned. God Bless you and have a great day.

another great video! btw speed pumping can lead to o ring failures in the pump. I know you sped up that footage and were no going that fast :)

I used a hand pump for a couple of months when I first got into PCP. Since then, I picked up a bottle and an electric pump to keep it topped up. Best money I have ever spent. I would reduce the power to tighten your groups. Running a little hot for pellets.

While they are nice i will stay withmy springers they are 😊more reliable thanks keep up the good work,you are right always pray and believe inGOD he gives you what you need

hand pumping is part of my cardio work out!

Hi, Unfortunately IMO, the only way to really enjoy PCPs is to have a compressor. I started down same road as you are now a couple years ago, lucky for me my budget is a bit high enough to get a compressor so I did and that is a game changer. I also after a period of time bought a carbon fiber bottle, only to find out my compressor would not fill it and i ruined my compressor trying to fill that bottle. It takes a lot higher out put compressor to fill tanks or you have to take the tank to a scuba or paint ball place to get filled, which I had neither close, so down one more rabbit hole, and I bought a daystate compressor that would fill the tanks. So moral of story to really get into PCPs it can be expensive, but once you have this stuff then your all set. You certainly are starting off the right way, buying a budget rifle to test the waters, certainly don’t get discouraged. I might have suggested I different rifle that is more hand pump friendly, an Umarex Notos is a great rifle, and way more hand pump friendly, but they are $275.00 ish. I do have several springers and PCPs and I enjoy them both, but you are correct with a springer,all you need is your rifle and a hand full of pellets and you good to go. PCPs however to take you to next level for power , accuracy at longer ranges, and multi shot capabilities especially with a couple extra mags, so you can shoot 30-40 times in the time I will take you to make 10 shots with your springers, so they both have advantages and disadvantages. To me the only downside of PCPs is the cost to get into, compressor, tank, etc. I did just subscribe to your channel, good luck with your shooting.

I know how much you love your Weihrauch Airguns, you’ve gotta try a hw100 at some point, I’d say it’s one the best PCPs out there

Nice entry level pcp.Try heavier pellets.Maybe h&n baracuda match 21.14 grains is better choice for the power of this pcp.I was going to buy it last year but i ended up with gamo chacal (urban in usa).Pcps are definetely more accurate than springers especially at distances up to 30 meters
