Pardini K2 pistol info

What is the average asking price for a used K2 in good or excellent condition now a days? And is its reliable long term pistol?
Thank you for the feedback!

One of our junior shooters uses the K2S-Air to compete today, quite succesfully. It is an accurate air pistol.

Your post does not specify whether or not the air pistol in question is CO2, or AIR. This will effect price. Cylinder age (over 10 years old) will also effect price. Based on our experience $800 would be a rough baseline for the AIR version of this pistol, in the US, with expired cylinders in excellent condition. Adjust value up/down with regard to type- CO2, or AIR, cylinders age, and condition.

Cheers!

Thanks m1963
I will find out about the type and age of cylinders, is CO2 better than compressed air? I have never owned a gun like that, and want to make sure I select a good choice for a long term pistol. I had a Baikal but it takes a lot of effort to shoot it.
One more thing, can the cylinders be updated if they are older than 10 years?

Thanks a lot of your input, it's greatly appreciated

I have a Pardini K2S air. It's fantastic! I've had it for 12-14 years or so? It's had many 1000s of rounds through it, and it still looks near mint! It's very, very accurate and reliable. I love the grip and trigger, too.
To give you a comparison, I've used many other APs, including Steyr LP1, Feinwerkbau P40, Morini electronic, plus several CO2 APs..... Various Walthers and FWBs, mostly.

Best Regards,
Jim

Here in Italy the average price for a good K2s (air) is about 400 / 500 euros. It is very a good pistol, a bit heavy. I would also buy a K2S complete seal kit. The average price for a K2 (CO2) is less, say 300 / 350 euros.
