Am a noob match air pistol shooter.
I tried https://kiehberg.in first, but at Saturday they did not respond.
I was frantically searching for an importer and found https://www.artekindia.com.
Talked with their receptionist - and she made me talk to Hardeep, their CEO. Amazing person.
He pointed me to Pavittar, their sales head - another amazing guy.
I decided to keep the price tag low - so Hammerli AP 20 Pro it is, and I transferred the 15K into their a/c.
Found out that it does not come with extra cylinder - so ordered another cylinder in between. LP 400 cylinders, costs around18K.
Honestly, I am no way affiliated to artek, but these guys -- they charge the minimum price,
and always, always, always available to talk and chat with me. They always did.
Only thing they wanted was my range shooter id as official doc - and adhar as id proof.
Being a first time importer, the wait was literally killing me, so I bugged them on almost daily basis, more so in the later part, when the gun was imported and couriered, but.. I did not receive it.
Hardeep said it will take 5-7 days. They did courier it on 6th, and today 13th I did get it!!!!
Here it is!
Fantastic experience, come to think about it. Cylinder came before the gun, though.
Tomorrow I will go to SATS range and try to acclimatise to it.
Aretk India rocks! They might not have a fancy website and lotta people and process - but oh boy, they do deliver.
I have no idea how Kiehberg works ( they are also nice, and eventually after like 7 days get's back on your email) - but artek is simply awesome.
If I do a bit good, I will buy the next one from them. Next year 25 m Pistol. If you are reading this, Artek, you guys rock.
