Hatsan Model 25 Supercharger Vortex Air Pistol

Small and portable. It doesn;t have a rifle barrel so it can fit in a Bosch Hammer Drill case. this is too cool for portability and discretion. Shoots straight enougn,Had to go to scope. That was orginally purchased for r9ifle yhat was originallly purchased for a riflr; But with the right base adapter, it works, Of course scope is so big that when I breah barell to reload , it is a challange gettingn thrn pelletnm inn the chamber.

Still way to big to be called a pistol , but The shoulder extenstion is detachable so I like that. A really annoying problem is the unlocking pin gor removing thr stock, They made is recesssed, toI mmayn try nsmall for your finger, and too stiff for musclen power anyway, You need 3 hands or fancy dexterity with a tool of some kind.

The biggedt advantage it fits in a non gun looking box so it doesn't abother neirtn-j0

The gun feels sturdy, and has a smooth firing.

The trigger has a long pull and should be shorten, Hatsan claims it has a 2 state adjustmant, but you can't adjust the length of the pull. The gun comes with a right hand grip, you can get a left hand grip for another $20., and a 2 waiting period. Well, this is what it stated, I found that is not true. I order my gun around Jan 27, and had to make extensive calls to Hatsan, forget about being able to reach anyone. Pyramydair took the time to try and find out when the grips will be shiped, they found out that it may be somewhere in March. If your going to sell a gun with right handed grips, have an option for left hand, and provide a working contact number. There (were) other Hatsan rifles I was looking forward to purchasing, but not when a company runs there business this bad. I have also had occasional problems with the trigger not working, I have had to re-cock it 1 or more times till it work work.

Before purchasing an item, check to see if they have a working number, do not go by just reveiws. I truly question the reviews I have read about Hatsan. I may end up returning this pistol.

Lots of fun! I'm 70 years old and this thing is no problem to cock using the extension. Get some pellets when you buy this. You'll go through a lot in a hurry. Once sighted in the gun holds its setting pretty well. The gun is more accurate at 10-15 yards than I am. I'm using it to protect my chickens in the evening from foxes. This gun is a killer.

There is not a lot that I would change. It is very long and heavy making finding some kind of holster near impossible. Since I carry it in the evening when I'm doing chores, the lack of a carry device makes chores more challenging.

Great sights, well balanced for such a large pistol. Contrary to other reviews I found this pistol easy to cock even without the included cocking aid. Fairly quiet and a little on the heavy side.

Factory breech seal is cheap. I had to replace after about 100 shoots

Dont expect this pistol to shoot at the advertised velocity. Only about 655 with a 7 grain .177 pellet not 700 as advertised!! I suspect that I got a used pistol but can not prove it

Great feel to it & quite & fps

Nothing

Great for indoor & outdoor plinking & for pest control up to 15 yards. Mount a pistol scope for best results. Use 10.5 grain Grossman pellets

pistol is heavy and well made, the grip is very comfortable..,cocking effort is easy if you push the gun into the barrel rather than trying to push the barrel down...mounted a red dot scope and am amazed at its accuracy and this gun is fun. you can break open the barrel enough to load a pellet with out cocking the system, so all you have to do is cock it when ready and that's all she wrote

as with all air guns...a little quieter is always the dream

Looks,feel and accuracy of pistol.

Can't think of anything offhand.

This is my first pistol and i was amazed at how fast i got decent groupings at 10 yards. If your looking for a pistol i would give this one a serious look. Hatsan makes great products

Fit and finish is excellent. The grip fits my hand well. Pistol is heavy but feels balanced with my standard two hand pistol hold. The Quattro trigger is very precise and crisp, I do not have to make any adjustments. Shooting at my 10 meter indoor range from a bag rest, the groups are 3/8" c.c. all day long. Crosman PSP 7.4 gr ten shot string averaged 707 fps. Tried some RWS Meisterkuglen 7gr put 7 out of 10 shots in ten ring, other three in 9 ring. I love this pistol. And yes airgunners the recoil reducing technology of this pistol really does work.

Hatsan could do a little better in QC department. Like test fire their weapons before shipping. Here's why. Upon opening my pistol I wiped it down well and cleaned the barrel finishing with a coat of Ballistol like I do with all my new airguns. Went to fire at target......nothing! Re-cocked again nothing. Figuring as usual with some Hatsan products everything is really tight I lubed all cocking joints with MP-5 oil and worked the cocking stroke a few more times. Voalla! The pistol fired. It must have been so tight inside the sear would not engage. This problem is now history and pistol operates great.

The cocking stroke is very heavy. Would be nearly impossible without the supplied screw on cocking aid. But with the power and exceptional accuracy this pistol has, heavy cocking stroke is not a deal breaker. I highly recommend this pistol. A great value.

This pistol is dead accurate with a red dot sight and more powerful than any other .177 pistol I have ever used. The recoil is typical of a springer without the spring torsion. The lock time is small.

The trigger creeps a bit though it's not terrible. The cocking effort is substantial but commensurate with the power produced.

A lot of things. Mine has a rear stop on the dovetail that holds the weaver adapter dead solid. No movement at all. The cocking effort reduces along with some early roughness after a tin of pellets. This pistol is incredibly powerful. Relatively light pellets literally shatter when they hit a backstop at 10m or less. A modified artillery hold is necessary. Hold the grip relatively firmly and use your thumb to prevent movement as a result of the slightly creepy trigger. Place our left hand under the fore-stock but use it just to hold the pistol steady. Don't grip the fore-stock. The barrel and power plant are on rails. They must be allowed to move during the shot.

This is a bit of a weird air pistol. It's super powerful but also huge. It requires two hands to fire accurately. A red dot scope is very helpful. Just get a rugged one. The cocking extension on the barrel is crucial to easy cocking. It also somewhat silences the shot.

The feel and look of the gun, its a bit like the Walther LP53 used for the Goldfinger posters from the 1960’s. The right-handed grip is excellent. The dual adjustable trigger is good and although I have not tried adjusting it yet, I like the weight and travel as it was set when it arrived. The barrel extension is some help in cocking this animal as it requires real effort to cock it. It is surprisingly well balance for being a 1.84 Kilogram (4.07 Lbs) pistol. The red front / green rear dot sights looks nice and I have now have it sighted for 25 yards with excellent consistency.

Put a smoother housing on the front optic sight (See What others should know) Pre-adjust (for 25 feet perhaps) the sights before shipping, and as with ALL air guns sold in the USA, give us the actual conditions and pellets (weight, etc.) used to get their reported FPS claims. A longer slip on cocking aide that slips over the front optic sight.

Be careful when cocking. The front sight (on mine) has sharp edges on both metal ends holding the optic tube in place and due to the force needed to cock the air gun, so after several shots I developed a cut between my thumb and index finger above my palm. I averaged 467 FPS using Winchester RN MVP 4.6 Grain .177 pellets. I did achieve a best of 564 FPS w/Sig Sauer 5.2 Grain Alloy Wadcutters.
