https://www.airgundepot.com/hill-pump-kit-mk5.htmlI bought this one. Was already looking at it, and another member here recommended it as well. I just bought it about a year ago, and have pumped my 580cc tank up several times with it. I’d buy it again if I needed another.

Had it over a year, moderate use. I've heard the sub-$100 pumps on Amazon and Ebay are good, but never used one myself.

If ya wanna splurge, here's an electric one I got:
https://www.amazon.com/GX-Compressor-Auto-shutoff-Water-Free-Paintball/dp/B09J4BHXT8/ref=sr_1_22?crid=1LY4N5O107LSV&keywords=pcp+air+pump+4500+psi&qid=1652033570&sprefix=pcp+air+pump%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-22
Added in a 4 year protection plan (somethin I've never done before, but seemed worth it in this case), totaled right around $400.
Even if it craps out right at year 4, $100/yr ta save your body.
Pumps right up ta 4500psi, and has been flawless so far.

Forgot ta mention, that the pump is auto shutoff.
Just set it to the pressure ya want.
I know it's safe, but I still don't mind not bein in the same area as a container gettin pressurized ta 4500 psi.
