Is this a spicy southwestern breakfast, or a really cool new pistol? Yes, I know, it\u2019s a pistol. Picked up my pair Saturday morning, all that I could hope for and more. The brainchild of AOA<\/a>, basically the action of the FX Cyclone<\/a> with a shortened barrel and a diminutive air cylinder, set in a custom pistol stock designed by all the guys at AOA. When I first ordered mine from drawings, about 6 months ago, I envisioned a pistol shooting at 32 ft\/lbs with about three shots. Yes, I could have lived with that, just enough shots for the wily pigeon. But, thankfully, they outdid themselves. With a new valve system and three power settings, 3\u20136\u2013and maybe 8 of the eight-shot magazines are possible. The barrel is shrouded, with a \u00bd\u201d UNF threaded end. (The usual power wheel), and a gauge so you know what\u2019s left in the cylinder. I mounted a Burris Compact riflescope on one, and a compact Leupold<\/a> on the other (mine). As this pistol is not the slender, light 10-meter type, it has a substantial grip and stock to hold the basically full size action. For me, this doesn\u2019t leave a straight-arm stance for a pistol scope, thus the riflescopes. I hold the pistol grip with my right hand, and a comfortable thumb rest, and cock the left hand flipper bolt with my left. Then, it is necessary for me to support the front of the gun with my left hand or use the left arm as a rest. The pistol has a modest pop with just the shroud. I mounted a compact Daystate<\/a> C\/F mod on one, and just a \u201cphuuut\u201d is heard. I mounted a full size mod on the other, and nothing is heard. As I only have a 30-yard range along side my house, I sighted them both in at that range. Within a few test shots I had them both making more or less the same hole. As I wanted to see what the pistol could do, I used a rest, and the pistol shoots better than I can. Nice\u2026REALLY Nice! It\u2019s like shooting my Cyclone, but in a much smaller package. I plan to carry it in the car\u2026you never know!<\/p>\n

Availability???<\/strong> Ten units came in Friday PM; ten were gone by Saturday AM. Get on the list for the next shipment; I\u2019ve already got mine, so go for it! Prices, pictures, and Chrono shot data should be coming from AOA. My Chrono died and I\u2019m waiting for the replacement.<\/p>\n

This is the ONLY pistol of its kind!<\/p>\n
