Have you dunk it in water? Pen gun leaks are typically very small and inaudable, making water testing a must. Or maybe, your equalization space is very small and when you pressurize it, it takes a while for air to seep into your chamber. Same thing happens to my latest a marker gun (not posted) So tell us a bit more about your piston.
