Huben GK1 pistol - Update

[@MonsterMaze]

Glad I preordered it a few weeks ago!

[@antoinejones448]

Did you receive it yet?

[@MonsterMaze]

@@antoinejones448 Nope. The European Huben webshop says they will start shipping in October. So hopefully I will have it in a month or so.

[@kevintravis2154]

This will be a boost to airgunners. Unherad of power levels in a pistol. I did do a preorder for a .25

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Well, to sound probably like your father: "School first, then fun..." I just hate my self for saying this now :)

Welcome back, Gregor. Always a pleasure to see and hear. All the best

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Thanks :)

Fire 28 shots at an average of 56 Joules seriously? Brutal effectiveness, I'm speechless

[@bladimirkroutska3707]

28 shots I assume at 5000psi. How many airgunners are able (have capable equipment) to reach that kind of pressure?

Such a shame there is no threaded barrel. I would have pre-ordered if there was that option...

yeah, I agree.

$100 for a threaded barrel.

@@henrytrotier5995 It will be delivered with a threaded barrel, Huben listened to us. 🙂

[@GregoryMcBride-qf7hx]

You should try some hollow point aluminum slugs on this they fly fast! Also huban needs to get into the big bores like 30 and 357 at least if they want to compete in the American market, even .357 pistol is doable with longer barrel and bigger air tank (especially with deep hollowpoint aluminum slugs) you might only get 4 shots at like 100 fpe but that’s all good

[@gregorkamensek3923]

I actually quite often shoot hollow point cast slugs that I make with MP molds .25 ACP mold. The are very accurate (for pistol) and quite efficient.

[@5euk]

Mine is all ordered !!

[@shughalonly4724]

Awesome update...like always ..you are the best

[@antoinejones448]

Is this air gun lethal? Can it be used for self defense?

[@Lex-hk4fn]

How much pumps you need to go from low pressure (100 bar as minimal operational pressure?) to 350 bar with handpump?

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Have no idea but I can test once I receive the production version.

[@GregoryMcBride-qf7hx]

I don’t mind them taking a while as long as they take the time to make a good product, I think they can do a better job than what they’re doing now. 1 obvious thing is that they need to thread the barrel for a suppressor, they need an option for larger calibers, and even a bigger air tank, I don’t mind a low shot count if it’s in 30 or 35 cal, also a longer barrel around 10in for the bigger bores like 30 and 35cal. With custom pure soft aluminum hollow point slugs, this will be crazy cool

[@wonaegun7143]

I envy all you fellows that are able to buy this pistol ! Here in Canada, (Gestapo ) land we are forbidden for our own good by the miscreant that runs the country! In fact ANY firearm that has a moderator on it whether attached permanently or removable is illegal ! Gregor I believe you have a winner there !

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Thanks. But if suppressor is your limitation, you should not have any problem purchasing GK1 as it does not have any built on it nor does it have an option do put one on... My prototype has a thread for suppressors but the production version does not.

[@pineknot9695]

Thanks for the update. That thing is a hoss. How many shots per fill would you get in .22 set at around 800 fps 16 grains? Thanks for coming up with this idea in the first place. Love your videos. I like your originality.

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Thank you. I really appreciate it. In my first video I put down some numbers for .22 that were reported from Huben. They are claiming 45 shots with 18 grain JSBs at 755 fps from 300 bars down to 100. I assume you would get just as much shots with 16 grain at 800 fps.

[@RobertoRB-vx4pb]

Buenas tardes Gregor. He leído que van a poner rosca de 1/2 unf en el cañón para acoplar un moderador de sonido en la versión de producción. Es correcto? Saludos.

[@gregorkamensek3923]

I have asked Francisco about this. There is nothing definitive at this moment, Francinsco thinks that best bet is that someone will be offering an aftermarket adapter for suppressor

[@pipzza6733]

Unsupressed and unregulated... will wait my friend

[@Kike93]

Will you be able to place a moderator on it? sounds a bit loud?

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Not initially. Hopefully, someone will make an adapter soon after release... It is loud though for sure.

[@henrywilliams5458]

There goes my Evanix viper dream. Twice the power!!!

[@MonsterMaze]

The Viper is a lot of fun though! It'll be fun to shoot them side by side to feel the difference. Obviously in terms of power it's no contest ^^

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Yeah, I am very curious about the Viper as well. I would love to get one for testing...

[@christosmavrommatis912]

I was thinking of getting myself the viper but Gregor's video surfaced braking the news, so there wasn't much thought after that... huben is the obvious choice.... but anybody can see the trick here... the gun was rushed out without real production capacity just to hit the Koreans out of the market.... I reserved my pre-order the first day (without even seen nothing but Gregors prototype) and now I am waiting.... I like this pistol, and I like it a lot❤

I wonder, a 18 month wait for the second batch (after the pre-order batch is gone), do they have such a hard time making them?

[@gregorkamensek3923]

I don't have an answer. All I know is that it was the same story with every new batch of K1s. I would have loved to see (and would expect it by now) tem sort out the mass production.

[@zitrone2779]

ist hier ein Markt für Handgemachte Griffe für die Huben ? spiele mit den gedanken Griffe herzustellen aus Holz und eher Natur behandelt keine kunstfarben nur das natürliche Holz mit seinen wundervollen farben und maserungen. ich werde sobald ich die Huben habe (sparre gerade dafür^^) werde ich mir mal einen Griff anfertigen und werde dan sehen ob und wie viel ihn welcher zeit ich herstellen könnte.

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Hi. I have seen quite a few 3d printed custom handles/ grips but no wood. But the stock grips on my GK1 are not artificially finished it is just that they are mad of relatively generic wood. As I am sure you are aware best looking wooden handles come from wood (most cases walnut) that does not have good conditions from growth and from the near root part of the tree... I think that if anyone made some custom aftermarket beautiful grips, you might have a good market for them.

[@barryfenwick609]

any chance of you showing the new GK1?

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Yeah, it I had it, I would show it... :( I am hoping it will be soon but it will be probably with the first batch that comes to Europe...

I would not call any one of them better or worse. They are the same. But if you are asking which one is more fun, then I would say the .25 cal. It is just amazing how much power it can deliver.

Gregor Who would I talk to concerning the legality of having a pistol shipped to Canada ? We are restricted to 500 ft per second here when it involves air pistols etc, so do you know who I can talk to at Huben that could help me get by with the least amount of hassle by our border police. Thank you Dan

[@gregorkamensek3923]

Hi. I don't think Huben can help you here... the easiest way is of course if Huben has a dealer in Canada but according to the Huben distributor list, it does not:www.hubenairguns.com/Retailers You will have to check your local laws how this can be done. For example, in Slovenia, you can order an airgun like any goods, pay the import tax and then you are obligated to register it in 8 days... Your laws will probably be somewhat different.

You do realize that you can turn down the power and have way more shots, right? The point of the pistol is that it is despite extreme efficiency able to put down some serious power and in semi auto.

I would love to see some competition my self, however, there are no other valves and actions that would bring combination of those features in this package at the moment. It all depends if you are willing to omit any of the features to heave the other. When the competition comes, the specifications (power, shot count, size, weight) can only be as good as these are provided that the conditions are the same (semi auto, same barrel length, same size cylinder, same caliber,...) because these are now on the edge of what is possible, what can be done with these pressures using this amount of compressed air,...
