I don't know where you are at, but, any good bicycle shop will sell much better pumps than most places. I bought a really nice pump for around $40 at a bike shop. It has a guage on it as well (still put one on the guns) and can reach 160 psi without even breaking a sweat. There are also pumps called shock pumps which can reach really high pressures but can get a bit hard to pump.

Unless you are aiming for above 150 psi, it is cheaper to hit up the local bike specialty shop for a good pump.
