I have seen the French FP & AP ace Dumoulin use a belt (military???) hanging loosely around his waist to hook his thumb. It works out roughly to the bottom of the zipper fly. I tried this after seeing him ( what a cool shooter ) and it seemed to be much more comfortable then at the waste line---...

Drop Tests

Did you ever wonder who supplies the test gun for a drop test??? I think California is another state that requires this test----it's certainly laughable, but unfortunately quite real. Can you imagine someone watching a Morini Free pistol being droppped from 10'???? It's almost as unimanageable as pu...

Hi there Dave, we haven't talked in a long time---good to be back. They have used the 208s for a while now and with the amount of use they give them---parts do go even with that gun. They were running out of trigger parts mainly and the armorers apparently couldn't machine their own---Quien Sabe? As...

Marines changing

I attended a free pistol match this past weekend and the topic of conversation got around to the fact that the USMC pistol team is dropping the Hammerli 280s and will be turning to the Feinwerkbau AW 93 for their rimfire gun. It seems that the parts are running out for the gun and since they have a ...

I have lost a most recent copy of the TOZ manual which was in English---I had gotten one from Nygords and another from a Target Talk member---. I have misplaced (CRS), {Senior Moment}, [Uncle Al is around the corner]---all of these--I'm getting a new TOZ from Larry Carter---I am going back to the gu...

Rings

Just a word about Nicole's comments about special mounts for a dot on the Pardini SP & HP. Along the "upper shroud" , for lack of a better description check the upper left and right hand edges for a machined indent along the length of the shroud. You can mount a set of weaver rings car...

I am going to talk with prejudice for the Pardini SP---up until now they are the "in" gun throughout the world (it seems to me). I have had an SP for the past 5 years and an HP for about six years. I have been through the MG-2, 208s, DES96U, IZH35 and the Pardini is by far over and above a...

I think that there were a lot of big clues dropped (leaked) after Australia re: Rapid Fire---I am kinda glad I was in line for that early info as I sold off my RF HPE within 8 months of Sydney---just before the other shoe started to drop.

TOZ FP

While I would not argue with Brian, (just admire his shooting skills) I would look carefully at the tip of the striker---I had similar problems with my first TOZ and the only solution was to replace the striker and the striker spring. If you have the spares kit start with the spring and then go to t...

I don't know what "TFS" means but Fiocchi .32 S&W is a soft load---and quite satisfactory to 25 metres---at 50 yards the bullets tend to "tip" a wee bit. The heads are a hollow base wadcutter, mebbe that's what TFS may relate to????? If you reload---toss the Fiocchi brass awa...

Yes that's quite a gun---I had a chance to shoot one that belonged to a friend---it was a rather weird gun to load and with the low barrel position it seemed to be quite steady--- Steyr hasn't produced them for at least five years---grips were also quite unique with all sorts of adjustments possible...

RF Pistol Shooting Techniques

I've tried to stay out of this and let others jump in however, here goes. The shooting position is similar to all other pistol shooting positions adapted to your own particular style or peculiarities. I assume a normal upright position and set my point of aim at the centre target. I then will swing ...

I have been using the Meister DEWC 100 gr. for the past five years in my HP, with excellent results. I use Rem brass, Fed small pistol primers, 1.2 gr. of VVN310 powder, and the Dillon 550 B with small powder measure. I couldn't ask for a more reliable and accurate round for 50 ft to 25 metres.

With the discontinuing of the OSP & GSP's and thereby relegating them to history their follow-up pistol has some rather unenviable flaws that have not been well received. I have a close friend who purchased this model and being a machinist and a gunsmith he was able to solve the weak spring issu...
