Went for the $45 Amazon option and the pump is well built, easy to assemble and doesn't leak. Being 79 years old, this process is a little hard on my body and I had to give up with my tank on my Gamo Arrow only half filled. However, I found an electric dual voltage pump that pumps up to 4500 PSI on Amazon that was under $200, including taxes and shipping (Free). So I'll save my manual pump for a backup or when I want to see if I can use it to give myself a hernia....

Ther is no justification for this high price levels for pcp hand pumps, they are only tubes, rods, o-rings and cheap Gauges nothing much more and the production cost broberly 10£ or so and the rest costs for the overpriced company name.

Great video and thanks for your efforts. I am 75 yrs old and for something to do, I just bought a Umarex C02 to plink with. I love to squirrel hunt so I have been entertaining a mid-range break barrel. While researching guns I became aware of PCP's. I have never heard of them. That being said, I really like the idea of the PCP with a mag-type gun. My concern was the inconvenience o filling the gun. I certainly prefer not to invest in a compressor but was calculating a small tank to take to the local dive shop. I have seen the hand pumps and figured they would likely kill me. Watching you actually use one, I think I can handle it. So, your video has convinced me to go ahead and pull the trigger on an entry-level PCP I can squirrel hunt with. Thank You. I subbed BTW.

Good to know. Thanks.

Mine arrived today.....blown away with the quality and performance. I bought another after first use. I have three BSA Ultras, a compressor, 7 litre bottle and now two pumps. My two eldest grandsons borrow a rifle each when they visit. It now means they can take a pump each and go their own way. They are light and with the folding feet, compact to slip into a back pack. Look after them and I see a lifetime of service. Serving and repair however doesn't daunt me as a I was a Siebe Gorman BA and compressor technician and instructor before I retired. I do recommend a decent oil/water trap. You can buy and inline QR one for less than £20 anywhere.

Thank God. I can save a hundred bucks or so starting my PCP air rifle hobby

Just had one of these (Vevor branded) delivered and it is superb. I honestly cannot understand how it can be bought at such a low price. I've always used FX pumps and this is every bit as good. Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate. I’m going to get it as a backup- for that price, why not? I “ think” I stumbled into a pumping trick. Instead of doing a full travel pump motion every time, I will do maybe 3 quick, partial pumps from between about 3-8 inches( can feel pressure build up some), followed by a full travel pump. It seems to decrease the amount of full travel pumps by enough to make it worth it “ to me”. 🤷‍♂️😁 Cheers

Yea. I paid totally €46 for my chinese handpump that I ordered from aliexpress for the use to fill my Sig Sauer Virtus 13ci PCP. Has worked well for me. Spare o-rings etc even came along. I did though put the pump onto an electrical pumping machine that I built. But itbhas served me well. I do clean and lube the lower external tube of the pump quite regularly - and sometimes I strip it apart to clean the check valve at the bottom, but I considerbit as plain maintenance to keep the pump going for a long time.. But overall I do personally think that a cheap handpump works basically as well as most more expensive handpumps (which are the same in build-class). I once did find online a Diana handpump to be identical to my pump - but the price was €199(national postages still excluded) instead of €46 (free intl shipping included)..

Been using the Amazon pump for 3 years and no major issue so far. However, the gauge broke and is now 1,000 PSI below the actual PSI.

Can you not swap the gauge and the outlet hose around on the FX pump to allow you to see the pressure while pumping and give you better access to the bleed knob?

That is one reason why the Airforce airguns and the Benjamin marauder are on my favorite list. On the Airforce the tank and gauge are the rear end of the rifles and on the Benjamin marauder the gauge is on the bottom between the trigger and foregrip. This keeps you alot safer than the having the gauge on the business end. For the people with the gauge on the dangerous end always remove the magazine and fire a shot into the dirt to make sure 100% that the barrel is clear. Airguns are potentially deadly especially in the event of an accidental discharge like a hard knock or drop. Be careful people.

Save some money and build a autopump: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJp2q6ZmlNueddY.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqtm3MaQltS8j8Y.html I was considering to buy a PCP, but didn't know the amount how much you need to pump to get a 200-300 bars filled. That simply killed the whole idea that you can have some relaxing shooting time, as if one needs to pump 200-400 times to get to rifle going, it is not worth it, unless you are really a hunting with it and need just a few shots per day. The idea of compressor just was not worth the cost, as you pay same as for the gun. And then you need to wait 20-40 minutes to get those filled. Building a own electric pump requires 1-2 pumps and you are quickly now in the cheap air compressor price range, but you should get it still faster filled. But you don't have the space saving with it, and likely not able to run it from a 12V battery if needed. So then comes the small scuba tanks, again costly and requiring to go filling elsewhere for price. But giving 2-120 fills, they can be good option for off-grid people, again for hunting purposes as you don't shoot so much. So if wanted to do some hunting, then use the pump. It will serve better than nothing else. If wanted to do competition shooting, then it is the air compressor. And for fun shooting where you put hundreds/thousands of pellets on weekend, then it is time to get the air tank.

I wanted to see what these pumps were like because I have an experiment that calls for ~200bar and yeah ill just buy the electric one but I wanted to say something about your proposed testing methods. Number of strokes really wouldn't be an effective means of testing unless you have limiters of top and bottom stroke hitting each one everytime. Even if you did if the capacity of the pumps cylinders srte not the number of strokes is irrelevant. Last each pump is 100% efficient unless it is leaking or diverting high pressure air you made to power something. What would be good (although subjective) areas to compare is comforrt, ease of use, durability, ect. Theoretically, you could put on a respiration mask to count how much oxygen you convert into co2 while pumping and compare the bmr (bascal metabolic rate) to compare how many calories required to reach a set pressure but thats kind of over kill. Fair timed event is more practical but less precise.

And it didnt feel like "cheap chinese air" with the cheaper pumps?? XDDDDD (JK aight) We pay up to 2000 danish kroner for a "proper" pcp pump here lol... sigh.... Im getting one from ebay next time....

I remember the good old days when I have to pump my marauder from 0 to 3000 psi and took over 100 pumps lmao. Now with compressors $200-300 why the hell are ppl still even using hand pump.

100 pumps? Pffffffff my Talon SS took me MANY hundreds of pumps from 0-3Kpsi and I did it for over 15 years 💪💪💪 ....And it sucked manually pumping it! Haha. So now I have 3 compressors. You're right, though. I keep a hand pump around mostly out of prepper-ness. What happens when you have no power source or your compressor(s) fail? So it's either a prepper item or a broke person item. Either way, for $45, these are a deal!

Yup, I pump my Avenger from 0 to 4,000 psi and takes around 200 pumps or more. Yes to fill the long hose would take 15 pumps. I'm 62 years old, small build (68kg), with the right technique and patience it can be done. Been doing it for the 3 years using the same $45 (Rp 600K) el cheapo 4 stage pump. It's nice to see this video comparison, confirmed I don't have to buy expensive PCP pump. 👍👍🙏

@airshootist my pleasure buddy

These pumps for me are only to be used one time to test and then put away until the SHTF . Nobody , I mean nobody who owns one will continue using it if they can afford to buy an electric 4500 psi compressor .

I agree. However the FX and the Airforce have been real workhorses over the past 18 years, so it can be done but they need rebuilds kinda often

Wrong. Mine goes in my backpack. My lightweight gear are BSA Ultras which fill so easily. No way am I carting my 7 litre or even a 3 litre bottle around through rough woodland with the pump weighing so little. I get 40 shots out each of my Ultras and then top up. 45 strokes of the pump does the job. I use my compressor and bottles for use with the 4 buddy bottle PCP's I have. Ultra and hand pump are a perfect light hunting rig.

What a joke of a review. Why not empty the cartridge completely & hand pump it up the max recommend fill? If it was too hot outside on your deck. Why not take it inside of the house that has A/C on? Bet you and many people playing with these overpriced rifles will be exhausted /or maybe get a heart attack w/hand pump. Any battery portable pump or hand pump that can be pumped in under 12 minutes or less 110 pumps for a LCS Air Arms SK-19 Automatic or a Hatsan Bitz?
