Indians For Guns

Hi Abhijeet,
I just read in another thread about you getting the IHP Compressed Air Pistol.. do you have any feedback about it, is it a good starter air pistol for getting into 10m target shooting?

Thanks!

Yes, I purchased it directly from their factory. You can do the same by dropping them an e-mail at ihpnrd [at] indianhumepipe [dot] com , the total cost including filling adapter, soft case and shipping to Delhi was ₹13,000/-.

It is a very decent and affordable air-pistol to start out in 10m air pistol shooting competitions. It will be some time before you outgrow this one and need to move up to an imported Morini / Styer air pistol (which are substantially more expensive). I had purchased it for my niece, who is starting to learn air pistol shooting.

That said, once you cross a certain threshold, you should consider making the investment in one of the top end air pistols. Your coach should be able to guide you when the time comes.

Cheers!

Thank you for the insights Abhijeet, makes my decision easier. Will get in touch with IHP.

Thanks!

Hi Art Collector,
I was able to place an order for the air pistol, they are responsive to emails and calls, though delivery may take some time..so they seem to be in business..

Once you get your membership let me know and I will put you in touch with the right people and places in the US.
Don't worry about after sales service / warranty coz nothing will go wrong with it.
You can use GSmith/Mastershot/Dianashot pellets with it. They all group well with my C1377.
You can try mine if you happen to be in Mumbai. Till then go over this.

Hi AC,
You were right about IHP ceasing their operations for air rifles and pistol manufacturing.. I may be one of the last few customers who got the Compressed Air Pistol, I haven't tested it as yet, since I'm out of the country..Hopefully it doesn't give me any problems as after sales support may be a challenge now

Hi All,

What should be asking price for the above model now (used condition) ? Given the understanding IHP has shutdown its operation and there in no other Indian manufacturer available in the category.

Dear Gunner_dh,
I had earlier posted a thread on upcoming Precihole product.viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26416.Later ,I mailed them and got a reply that they will be soon launching their PCP match pistol.I presume ,the launch of HPA hand pump was to aid their upcoming match pistol.

Hey Pooncha 1998,

They don't seen to be reassuring. Although in future will but I believe the lag would be high.
