Looks like AFs been listening. First they improve the valve seal and the sear now they have added an ajustable stock, quick fill and monometer!
I dont know whats gotten into them lately, but good stuff AF keep it coming 😀

I can see how they could sell the quick fill/pressure gauge to those who do not want to add LOP to their rifles…but it looks like they will be selling them with tank and valve only….
And that is what it is all about.
Well shit you got me on that one, I have yet to meet any rifle or pistol that isn’t fun to shoot. 😆
Me thinks for AF it’s all about the benjamin’s coming in versus going out… 😉
Do you know if anyone has put the Edge tank reg in a full size bottle or if it’s even possible (or possible with the new ‘P’ tank)? 😕
C-Rex, THIS is a pistol that kicks some serious ass. Add one of those small pigmy tanks to your belt and hit the woods for an all day shoot! But then they wouldn’t be able to sell a whole frame right? 😉

It’s no shorter of a frame than the Talon since it’s the EXACT same frame and if you noticed I said it’s no shorter with the extended butt attachment. Somehow lots of people are fooled into thinking the frame is different from the Talon frame. It’s about 3″ shorter than the normal tank, just not convinced the ‘P’ was that groundbreaking. It’s super easy to convert any of the frames into something very similar.
And them releasing the extended butt is basically admitting that the “pistol” claim was just hot air.
Anyone know the weight difference between the large and small tanks?
A small tank doesn’t make it a new rifle. They did the Edge which was impressive but I think it flopped and so they went for a very conservative approach for the “pistol”. I would have rather seen an adapter so you could run a pigmy tank in a back pack to what would be an ultra short Talon that could be used with one hand.
I even question the new ‘P’ valve, was it to improve on the Condor valve or was it created because the smaller tanks were only found from existing resources with the smaller threads? If a tank with the larger threads were available I don’t think they would have created a new valve…
I get this feeling that after the Edge AF has become a bit timid in their enhancements… There are a few things that they did with the Edge that the Talon/Condor system could benefit from.
I mean if all you need is one of two shots by all means look into the Edge tank, it’s way lighter and far shorter than the ‘P’ tank. 😆
It looks like it would be fun to shoot.
And that is what it is all about.
Syn I’m not looking to convince you or anyone else for that matter but the TalonP is shorter, lighter and works extremely well for pesting. The difference between hitting with a .22 and .25 is obvious and pretty much eliminates a follow up shot. Fewer shots? I’m not much of a bench shooter and if it just takes one… I’m just sayin’. If I can’t hit a damned thing with the 20 shots I can squeeze out then … I guess I save the last one for myself. 😛
I love mine. I love my TTT too and they’re not much different in length now but I grab for the TP when I’m looking to whack a varmint. Seems to work well to this point. I feel lucky to be able to choose.
The drop down stocks are an improvement, but still cant compare let alone compete with the Wokbutt. It would be like trying to compare Angelina Jolie to Roseanne Barr. Very Bland indeed 🙄
They may as well turn the Talon P into a carbine because its never going to be a true pistol.
I think an Etac-reg set at 2000psi or less with the original Wokbutt on the end would shoulder about right and give a decent shot string from that little tank. It would really be a good set up for the guys who air up with a hand pump.
So what the fuck is the point of their “pistol” if you add a non-removable, non swing out of the way butt stock to it? 😕 😯
Perhaps i’m just not seeing the benefit of the not so many shots per fill advantage of a smaller tank… 😉
It kinda funny that their “New Shoulder Piece” is an exact design I came up with a few years back and discarded because it was to boring…. I kid you not.
The Wokbutt will look like the one I use on my Strap On Wokbutt model but I will a support bar to keep if from SNAPPING if laid down hard on the shoulder piece.
They only have a 10-32 bolt into a 1/2 inch aluminum bar for support. That bitch will snap if to much pressure is applied to the rear of the shoulder piece.

Open site, lurking gains as much viewing opportunities as membership.
The real question is will AF ever admit they no longer have original thoughts…
More like copying… 😉
and it begs the question: which member here is an airforce employee? Any guesses?
Listening?
More like copying… 😉
I have a new style Wokbutt to attach to them as well.
It will replace the metal plate they have on their new style of shoulder piece (Your welcome AF 🙄 ) with a Wokbutt and it will add extra support.
It will bolt on the new guns easy, but have added support and the advantage of the Wokbutt.

Well I’m no math giant but the Talon P OAL is shorter, the buttstock will make it highly adjustable and the tank is a helluva lot lighter. All adds up to fun for me. I bought mine with the intent of making it a carbine. Even with powder burners I’ve always preferred rifles over pistols. I have no desire to one hand hunt.
Personally I don’t get the pygmy tank thing but then again I’m not an all day shooter. Seems cumbersome to me. I’m rarely more than 50 feet from my scuba tank and have no problem with a 2 minute break between tanks if I’m goofing around with the pellet trap.
