Could certainly be that my mind played a trick on me. After a shot on low, the gun is def much easier to load, so perhaps that carried over into my perceived feel for the trigger hardness. Sorry about that. But I still feel it is much harder than a One Air.
While I have you Pete, I hope you don't mind a few questions: What is the proper sequence of loading these things?
If I have just shot on low, I can just keep it on low while reloading, right? (will it be easier to load this way?) Will anything change if I switch to high before reloading? If I shoot on high, do I have to keep it on high while reloading?
Best and thanks as always
After a "low" power shot the gun is easier to reload because the only air that expanded in the gun was that in the inner barrel and the rear "pre-chamber" which are always connected. The front tank, which is on the other side of the partitioning bulkhead that forms the "pre-chamber", will still be at cocked gun pressure. You leave the gun on the "low" power setting so that when muzzle loading for the next shot you only need to compress the air in the sections that the air actually expanded in for the previous shot. That way you don't lose the effort expended in raising the front tank to cocked gun pressure when first loading the gun, the energy stored in there will stay there until you flip the power regulator to "high" power and take a shot. Moving the power regulator from "low" to "high" after a low power shot and before muzzle loading for the next shot causes the pressure to equalize throughout the gun, so that stored loading effort is then wasted. You only do that at the end of the dive as pneumatic guns are best stored without any pressure differentials existing inside the gun, or you take your last shot of the dive at "high" power.
If you want to use the "easy load" feature, which is one of the main reasons for the manufacturer incorporating the partitioned reservoir system in the guns, then you always muzzle load the gun on the "low" power setting. You can then choose to use all of that loading effort at "high" power, which lets all the air in the gun expand, or use only some part of it by selecting "low" power instead. This is all explained in the "Pneumatic Speargun Compression Ratio" thread which is somewhere on this forum.
