.25 magnum from Pacific Pellet Guns landed in Florida today!

I just got back from a tattoo convention and for those of you who have ever done the “trade show” circuit you know how my back feels right now. In fact I am hurting pretty bad…but I made some good money, sold some big pieces of art, and made some new friends and art world contacts.

Despite my pain..I knew if I did not at least open the box up today and shoot a couple over the crony…I would not have the chance for at least another week or two.

I must say I like Darren’s new trigger frame. I have had the Blue Fork design trigger frame and I have had old and new Crosman’s…it is surely nicer. The Blue Fork is cleaner, but I believe his was made on a CNC and Darren’s is not.

Darren’s new trigger is very mean looking. It is much better than the DC roller that was in it earlier with a super tight sear spring…It was so heavy that it simply would not do. Darren did not tell me much about his new trigger system as he is a man of few words, lol, but I am assuming it is a single stage as there is no first stage. It is a little on the heavy side, but it is much improved over it’s former trigger (I’m sure Darren knows the exact poundage). Slack is minimal and there is no creep. I hope to do some accuracy testing soon, but it may be a week or so until I find the time. I can’t just shoot this thing in my yard…it is very loud.

Cocking is very smooth, much smoother than it was when it was first built. Even cocking into the second (high power) position is very effortless.

Fit and finish is very nice. I chose all brushed stainless steel for this pistol. Despite it being so long (14″ barrel) it still feels like a pistol (unlike other pistols on the market).

Power levels are as Darren stated. I ran a few over the crony. I was confused on one result and the only thing I can think of is the fit of the pellet in the bore. What surprised me is that the 43.2 EJ’s made 1 fpe more than the 7 rings. The EJ’s did fit the breech much tighter than the 7 rings. The 7 rings seemed to fit like a glove. The JSB kings fit loosely. I am curious to see which ones shoot best in this DAQ barrel. All Darren told me was that “accuracy was good”, again, he is a man of few words.

I did a quick penetration test on a two by four and the Eunjins made it in at point blank range to a depth of 1.201″ @ 780 fps

The 7 rings almost made it out the back @ 600 fps (see photo below)

I did not take any photos of the gun. For those of you who have not seen this gun yet follow the link below. Thanks and I will post up some accuracy tests asap. Kudos to Darren for creating one power house of a pistola 👿 😆
