Here are three such low-volume pumps that I personally own and can speak to:

75 psi model from Topeak: https://www.topeak.com/us/en/product...blow--mountain

60 psi model from Lezyne: https://ride.lezyne.com/collections/...sic-over-drive

40 psi model from Specialized: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/ai...=271828-156596

The Lezyne model is probably my favorite of the bunch. The screw on chuck is nice. The Specialized model has the best base and a nice, large gauge. Both the Specialized and the Topeak have air release buttons that allow you to lower your tire pressure after pumping in too much air and overshooting the mark. The Lezyne's air release button releases air from only the hose, not the tire, which is not helpful. The Topeak would benefit from a longer hose and a larger-diameter gauge. The Topeak also has a cheap feel to it, but so far has been working ok. The chuck on the Specialized is finicky to attach to a Schrader valve stem. Specialized's 40-psi range is plenty for my mountain bike tires, but I sometimes need to grab the Lezyne or the Topeak for my commuter bikes.
Many thanks for this info!!
