    I'm also new to pcp's and you just need common sense. I was unsure about the filling procedure so asked and was shown how to at my club. If they were that dangerous a. The nanny state wouldn't let you have one and b. You'd hear about it.

    Reliance on an external power source, safe transportation of that bottle and that soulless feel is what has always kept me away from a PCP, Barry. However, with your knowledge of all things technical and your methodical approach, I'd envisage zero issues from your good self and I know you'd exhibit safe practice at all times.

    If you fancy one, go for it.

    No, but then you probably wouldn't leave a springer in strong sunlight either would you

    Yes they can be over filled, each will have it's own safe working pressure (swp), & a max fill pressure, because of how they work most get worse if over pressure & also most work best (sweet spot) starting 5-10% below the max fill.

    I agree Tony the simplicity of springers is what I like, its just that I like the look of the p1000 but getting into PCPs and all of the support equipment might not be worth it

    The only real risk of going over to a PCP is that you might start listening to Cher and may even enjoy going clothes shopping with your wife.

    If you hunt, get a pcp. If you don't, stick to springers. Simple But honestly having a pcp is nothing to worry about
