Page 3 - AirForce TalonP Reviews

There really isn't anything not to like about this gun. The quality, fit and finish, the feel. Everything is top notch USA made quality.

The packaging. While the black cardboard box it comes in looks cool and is simple with no artwork on it just the AirForce branding. I wish there was foam on the inside like I have seen some AirForce guns packaged in. Instead its just sitting in cardboard with cut outs for the grip and front of the barrel so the gun wont slide around. The tank is sitting in its own area which works out fine. This is minor and in no way reflects the quality of the gun itself. I also wish there was a more efficient way to get the tank attached, such as a CO2 style connection where you can just spin it by hand. It's easy to do, its just tedious having to remove a set screw and then use a wrench to tighten down the connection then put the set screw back in which is very small and could be easily lost in the field. It works if you never plan on removing the tank, but out in the field if you bring a spare tank I can see it being annoying to swap. But I just fill with the tank attached so it's no issue for me!

Purchase the AirForce tri rail with this gun, it lifts the scope up to a nice comfortable eye viewing height.

Lightweight, power control dial, cool design.

It may be me but I have several pcps and they are all very accurate. This one is literally hit or miss from 35 yds. It is also very pellet finicky. I would not suggest this for a beginner.

If anyone has any suggestions for my accuracy issue I would love to hear them!

It is a small light weight hunting rig. I can cover a 5 shot group at 35 yards with dime. I use H&N hunter extreme.

Nothing!

Scope is hard to line up when shooting because of tank. High rings help out. Get the add on stock. Big and bulky when shooting it as pistol. It is really a carbine.

The most accurate gun Ive ever shot. It is powerful and it sounds powerful. Its extremely light for the power it delivers. The trigger is awesome. Its exactly how I hoped a magnum power airgun trigger could be.

The pump hose is dangerous. Im installing a "whip check" on mine. The third time I filled it, it built up to 2500psi then shot off and hit my shin while I was pumping. It left a nice bruise and lump on my shin. I still say its worth it. Everything I love hurts me one way or another.

Unless you are strong or want to get strong quick, buy a scuba tank and a scuba fill hose. It took me 360 pumps to fill the tank and that involved taking breaks every 120 pumps. Buy a mad dog grip with butt and be happy. I already am happy, this gun just makes you feel good when you hold it.

where do I start,this is the most accurate powerful pellet pistol,I ever seen,this thing really packs a punch,even on low...

only thing I would change,is the sounds it's pretty loud and probably the hand grips,they're pretty small for my hands..

Most accurate ammo,Kodiak match 31.02 grain/ second ammo Benjamin 27.8 third JSB 25.39 gr on power setting 3, I set it on 3 and havn't took it off,great all around airgun, this thing really does a number on small to medium game animals..

Utilitarian design. Nothing unnecessary included and mod it to spec. The power coming out of an airgun. It actually goes bang louder than a Ruger 10/22, to give you an idea of the force being sent downrange.

The valve's inner sleeve is flimsy, and while I didn't produce a negative effect, when tightening grub screws to secure it in place, I accidentally drove the screws through the sleeve. More of a user error though, then faulty design.

The valve WILL work it's way loose and affect POI and muzzle velocity. If you are ready ahead of time with some loctite and/or replacement valve, you'll be fine. This .25 gun performs very well. Spruce grouse and squirrels are dead in their tracks when they taste this rifle. Did I mention how accurate it is? Using 43gr Eun Jin pellets, this gun will shoot a half inch at 50 yards all day, thanks in part to a fantastic trigger. On recent squirrel hunts I was getting hits dead on at all ranges with no need for holdover and often would score hits when I was half-way expecting to miss when the trigger broke. This gun is a cold blooded killer. If you want a pretty gun get a marauder. If you want to smack the ever living daylights out of....well, everything, get the TalonP. I've had a full stew pot for the last 3 weeks I've owned this gun, thanks to this gun. If the squirrels don't hibernate much this year, I'll put them to sleep soon enough. Great upgrade from the Gamo Big Cat 1400.

Being compact for me is the best feature and the power it has is good too.

make the gun more quiet

it's a great product the tank seamed to leak at 1st. but now it seams ok. it's under warrantee so if it persists I will return it for a new one that is the only warning about the gun actually the actual gun itself is a fine product and Air Force guns are great guns.

.25 - This pistol works best as an extended carbine rifle by adding the shoulder extension and the barrel sound lock kit. In short, if you're not too hung up on quick follow-up shots, then this little thing is one of the most lethal and fun things to take to the field for small game. period.

Trigger is a bit heavy w/ no adjustment. This little thing sounds almost like a .22 w/o the mod kit. Power adjustment is somewhat worthless as chronograph showed little or no gain. Don't expect to get more than 10 to 12 full power shots per refill. Safety is just plain bad design. Added accessories are expensive but needed to make this thing as good as it can be.

I had a choice between the new version that came out in '12 or the older pre'12 model and I wish I'd selected the older version for several reasons that I won't get into here. Mine chrono'd out at just above 900'/sec using JSB Exact King 25gn pellets at full power and 860 using Beeman Kodiak Match 31gn pellets which I would highly recommend in this airgun. Again, just be aware that your shot velocity will fade fast so make the first 5 or 6 shots count while you still have 150 bar or more air available. A UTG 3-9x32 scope w/ high mounts works terrific on this gun.

This gun is a real thumper. I like the size and the power on the Talon P. This the second one I have owned and would recommend it to anyone wanting a compact and very accurate gun that is powerful

A multi shot would be fantastic, but may not be something AIrforce can do with the design of the gun.

My talon-p is quick detach, breaks down much easier to fit in my backpack with my extra air tank. Very hard hitting,accurate,and cool.

Accessories are too pricey. Gun is pricey too but worth the price of admission for the fun factor. Otherwise would not change a thing very happy with purchase.

My talon loves the USB exact kings 25.39 grains. I used a BKL cantilever mount with a hawk air max 3x9x40 AO scope and an airforce butt stock. Tack driver!

The Talon P was worth the wait! Air Force has made many improvements with this model.The trigger pull is much improved and the pistol grip and forearm have a rubberized feel now.The spin-loc tank is great,so much easier to fill than my old Condor. Another big change is the safety. You can now push the lever on and off with your trigger finger. When I took it out of the box I cleaned and oiled it and then shot it at my 10m basement range. It put 5 shots in one hole. It is also easier for me to shoot off hand than my other guns.

Nothing.

I put the shoulder stock and a Leapers rifle scope on it so I can use it as a short carbine. It gives it a bullpup feel. This is very accurate and very hard hitting although it is loud but without the sharp crack of the fast .177s.

Wow this thing shoots very hard with heavy pellets. Perfect balance, can shoot with one hand. The new fill system great. This is now my favorite air gun.

love accuracy power and balance

sound needed to be quited down

R&L barrel shroud quited down gun a lot. just installed 22. cal barrel to hunt leagally with in nj very happy

more accurate than i was expecting, 3/4" average groups at 50yds with many that are alot better than that. way lighter than my marauder. love the sound signature........FOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

only thing i would change is maybe go to a 17ci bottle instead of the 13ci just for a better shot count.

good gun for the money. power,accuracy,short and light,whats not to like?
does much better than advertised velocity.
oh and, stock up on jsb kings :)

Lots of power. Looks great like all the AirForce products. Love there products normally. This one could be great in the future.

The trigger and safety are different from my other AirForce products and the pull of this trigger is way to stiff. This makes accuracy very difficult even with the extra external butt stock. The replacement trigger option that you could put on the other AirForce products can't be installed on this model. The safety also is very stiff to take off. The whole setup inside the trigger guard is a step backward in what use to be a very decent setup.

Wait until they get a trigger that is usable

Exceptional accuracy! This gun is like a stick of dynamite, big power in a small package! Extreme range, shoots JSB Exact Kings like a cannon. Nice, clean trigger. Easy to load as well. .25 Cal barrel is a beast! I'm glad I made the purchase!

Nothing. Keep on doing what your doing Airforce!

Gun is loud! Don't plan on shooting this thing around your neighbors if they live close to you. I shoot mine on 8 power setting. Ran about ten rounds through mine and still have 2,500psi in the tank.

Extremely accurate and fun to shoot. I can consistently shoot starlings at 75 yards. This gun is fantastic.

Nothing

I highly recommend this gun. Shoots great, hits hard and is super fun.

Lightweight, EXTREME POWER, Impeccable accuracy! Very responsive trigger. .25 Caliber pellets at 930+ fps.

Bigger air tank.

LOUD! Wear some kind of hearing protection! Even when outside!
I plan to buy a bipod for more stability.
BE SAFE - This is a dangerous weapon.

25cal, light weight, accurate, easy to cock, easy to load for a guy with big hands,great fun to shoot,sounds like a BIG GUN........I dont live in town so as long as it doesn't sound like a 50 cal rifle its fine with me. I own a Daystate 80ft lb 25 cal and a rws 54 in 22cal but this my favorite. Just pick it up and go. You cant go wrong ......it's great. I just got the predator 25 cal pellets and it loves them. They are my choice for all my air guns.

Change nothing but make a better looking add on stock . I do have the factory made one . More add ons to customize it. Additional barrels in various lengths. Annodize it in different colors.. Make a ss steel barrel as a custom feature.

My suguestions above are not complaints.. I like this gun so much I just want to be able to customize it and up grade it too. Its definitely a life long keeper!!
