I'm in California, and I purchased one handgun through my dealer a few months ago, and all that was required was a lock that worked on the pistol's manufacturer case. My wife did the exact same thing for her 9mm, different store. Then I bought a free pistol from ISS and had it shipped to her dealer ...

Update on my quest for A220 15v batteries: www.microbattery.com advertised a 100mAH version of this battery, somewhat pricey but I am curious about the higher mAH rating. I ordered some, but after 5 weeks of emails from them "trying to find a new supplier", I think this is vaporware. www.b...

Interesting results. Apparently, when I do a live fire or a dry fire in the shooting position (basically, any time I squeeze the trigger with full sight alignment and belief that the chamber is loaded), I stop increasing the squeeze force when the shot fires. The effect of this is that the microswit...

Mine is single stage. But to David's point... even with one "stage", if I have the rear stop point of the trigger set too tight to the firing point, I might be keeping the micro switch from resetting. I will check this when I get home tomorrow, on the road currently.
Thanks,

After firing a live round through my CM84E, I've been able to leave the bolt closed and still dry fire (just the electronic mechansim with no firing pin movement). But recently after some trigger weight adjustments (lighter), this dry firing does not work. Or, rather, there is no trigger click on th...

At least for my (new style) CM84 compensator, each initial re-attachment is not very repeatable. The most obvious variation shows as a sight picture with a canted front sight, so I have to readjust / re-sight a few times before it looks straight (allen key on a flat doesn't guarantee position, still...

The photo of Choi's Morini looks to me like a standard CM84E barrel plus new style Morini compensator, with the front sight on the most forward mounting on the comp. It's a long compensator -- when I have it mounted, it doesn't fit in the nice Morini box!

You guys are merciless : ) I'll let you know how it goes.

Counterweight, lol. Conjures up an image of a golfer with all sorts of alignment gadgets hanging off his hat.

I haven't shot air pistol in decades so I don't have an answer, except what others may also point to, which is that the search function will get you a lot of good posts on this topic. I think you can get a good feel for some non-$2K pistols. If you happen to be in Southern California, there is an ai...

Hello Batt, I am hardly a competitve shooter nowadays, but I am part of the general shooting audience in this forum to which you have posted. Have you yourself not failed against a performance goal? If you are top 20, did you not recently fail yourself (and those whom you beat to get to nationals/qu...

I have acquired a set of Champion "Olympic" frames for lenses/blinders. Despite being titanium, the frames are quite heavy for my nose (I have one of those less-plentiful noses with minimal nose bridge). I see that some other manufacturers' frames have alternatives to behind-the-ear fasten...

And one "oops" in that high position at an outdoor range can cost someone their life.

The ISSF Academy Fundamentals website is great! However, I find myself deviating from some key elements in stance and body position, and I was wondering how all of you position yourselves for free pistol (and air). http://www.issf-academy.com/courses/fundamentals-of-pistol.html/4 The link above show...

Whoever is selling you the pistol should be able to assist you with grip size. However, I will relate my experience, which might give you a point from which to extrapolate. I recently purchased a Morini CM84E from Neal Stepp at ISS. Neal had me perform the measurement that Morini recommends in the l...

I definitely bought a new CM84E (from Neal Stepp at ISS, great guy), and it uses the 15v A220 battery. Also, if it's any indication, the Morini website says "1 x 15v" in the CM84E specs. I think I'll order a few A220/504's from microbattery.com, since it claims 100mAH. Heck they're just th...

Whoops, I do see one of the links recommended by a TT poster was 100mAH, twice the price but having the battery live longer is a good thing: http://shopping.microbattery.com/s.nl/it.A/id.5942/.f Unless someone says that the microbattery.com offering is *not* 100mAH, I'll probably skip the EBay batte...

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I thought this was better stuck on to the previous topic instead of starting a new one. For 15v A220 / E504 etc., has anyone bought from these guys on EBay? The price is the lowest I've found thus far: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271019389228?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:...

Thanks everyone for the great feedback. I wound up getting a Celestron Regal 65 F-ED, 16-48x 65mm. Nice zoom eyepiece, 20mm eye relief at 16x and I'd guess 15 to 16mm eye relief at 48x. No problem with glasses, although it does vignette for me at high magnification (I just position my eye squarely)....

Hello all, Forgive me if this topic has been covered - I did what I considered to be a very thorough archive search! Now that I either have or will be purchasing something akin to a collection of "stuff" (free pistol, cleaning supplies, scope, spare parts, ammo, ears, eyes/iris...), the va...

Interesting, that Creedmoor scope has a lot of eye relief, just second to the Kowa (which is out of my price range). Does the Creedmoor (and for that matter, scopes like the Celestron Ultima 80 or 100) allow swapping of eyepieces? If so, then this search may be more a matter of finding decent enough...
