Others Talon P - Ultimate hunter?

[PasadenaMike]

Y’all know I love my Edguns but I would never expose the intricate parts to dust and junk. In comes my Talon P. Talon P don’t care about anything it just wants to smash ground squirrels. It’s light, powerful, accurate and quiet (with a moderator). Some think 10 shots aren’t enough but believe me that’s plenty. The sweet spot is at 2500 psi not 4000 psi. No poi shift no first shot difference nothing. It’s just ready to smash fur.

Notice I’m referring to the gun as “it” not “she” someone had commented saying “how do I know it’s a she” it wasn’t here.

Sometimes at night when kids are in bed I will grab the S510 look at my wife and proclaim "time for me to hang out with the second love of my life" ...She's put up with this hobby so far. So you don't consider it one of your air children yet?! Jk...it does seem to be a gun that can take some abuse! Very simple and stout and fairly petite. My current "put it away without cleaning it" gun is the but waaaay too expensive to let it get buried in dirt Being completely honest 10shots is a bit low but 15 or 20 on a quick pesting session would do it for me! I recall running the S510 off-reg once or twice last yr when the pests were deep!

I'd say that gun is in its element for what you use it for!

The Air Force guns are like a Timex watch, they take a licking and keep on ticking!

Yes they do. Leak? If by a 1/1000000 chance it does it’s all right there at the tank.

Well, you're definitely selling me on an AirForce for my 2nd PCP!

Well, yours is awesome for sure but I really love this one. The Escape SS is basically the same gun, same tank, same valve, same barrel but I just like the built in shroud and baffles better and you can get it in .22 or .25.

Agreed . A misinformed person isn’t going to think you have a silenced “evil” gun rather just a bull barrel or something

I also own an Escape it is like the Talon. I removed the small tank on it and replaced the bottle with a 5L for lots more shots, then the butt stock wouldn't fit so I found a 3D printed one on eBay that bolts to the tank to complete it. Another well built great PCP air rifle!

So I’m interested in learning more about these talons and escapes. To my knowledge, they’re not regulated. How would you say their accuracy is for unregulated, and does it need to stay in a certain sweet spot?
Also, would you consider it back yard friendly?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

The sale condors maybe fun under $400.

 

[Chief55]

They are very accurate and the TalonP and the SS models are backyard friendly to me. I believe Pyramid Air rates them at a 3 medium. But with the small tank you only get about 10 flat shots then it starts to drop but it all depends on your pellet speed. I feel like that is fine for hunting. They are easy to refill. I have the Escape SS in 22 and in 25 and I had a TalonP but sold it back to Mike. I also have a Condor that I have been thinking about selling.

...I am keeping mine...it's the last gun I'd sell...

You not alone then. He has sold me on Air
Force Guns as well. I have known I wanted one since they first came out...way before I got back into airguns at all. Talking to Mike has for sure cemented that, and my next rifle will definitely be AirForce.

I absolutely love them myself, for certain task though not having a magazine kinda sucks. A good example would be for a target rich ratting situation, single loading gets old really fast. Back in the day that's all we had though and the Talon P worked great, I could single load that thing in my sleep.

Same here. That's what I grew up with, single loading. It don't bother me. As for a target rich environment, I could definitely see me carrying along my Avenger or my Notos.

My TalonP is bent in the area by the cocking handle! Where its the weakest!!! And it is still accurate. It was in a soft case in a car wreck. Still ticking!
