Yup had my 25 cal for about 2 years now. Im glad I got the 25 cal instead of the 30 because for some reason Big5 will stock 25 cal if you ask but no higher calibers. It was fun to stroll to big 5 during the ammo crunch and blow 150 rounds full auto. available cheap and still fun. I have never been to a closed range with it. When i think about taking it to a closed range the thought feels boring. This thing is fun to let loose at an open range ( by open range I mean desert or Bureau of Land Management areas. You can really see and press its capabilities. Every time I took it out there I'm impressed and I have put at least 1000 or more. I ran the hell out of it. The fucker is accurate. The barrel is the cause of alot of the weight. almost half the weight. So far its had 3 repairs. I believe the first repair was my fuckup. the next 2 repairs where the valve pin and I replaced the valve pin myself the second time it broke. The pin is made of some hard plastic. I kept my broken pins as a project to actually repair it and make it stronger or somehow get one made of metal. I have stripped this whole gun down, barrel, bottle, receiver to find that it is a very simple design. Also I run the hell out of my portable 200 dollar compressor from Amazon has not broke down yet except for the batteries for the digital display. Any way good video. I just wanted to leave some info on my 25 cal. Oh and thanks for warning about the open sights. I was saving it as a backup, but now.. ehhh..
Appreciate your insight. Any recommendations for a new pcp shooter with respect to a reliable manufacturer to start with? I was looking at the Sidewinder but I have some concerns now.
@@dinogiolitti2844 definitely watch my video and updates on that Sidewinder. The only recommendation I can give at this point is the Hatsan. They are extremely popular in the shotgun world. The price I paid for the Western hasn't proven itself after the issues I've encountered. If I had a better customer experience and felt more prioritized, I could promote the product. Currently....I will not.
