Even better is the Mens Air Final, Gontcharov shoots a 6.4 and stills takes second place.

Just goes to show that you should never give up.

I chose a Pardini, my new Pardini HP .32 (mechanical trigger) turned up yesterday, this gun will replace my well tested Walther GSP .32. A quick range test yesterday had it performing as good as my Walther straight out of the box, no load development, grip or trigger adjustment ...... yet. Can't com...

No I have not noticed any reflection from my silver LP10, I wondered the same thing when I changed from my FWB P30.

When you are holding the gun up and sighting you do not see any silver parts and it looks exactly the same as any blued gun.

Try asking for plumbers putty, it is the stuff they use to seal around the bottom of toilets, the benefit is it nevers goes hard so you can keep moulding it.

Any plumbers supply store should have it.

For some reason shipping from New Zealand to overseas is quite cheap.

I sent 5 Walther mags to America a year ago and I think it was less than $20 NZ about $15 US.

I have quite a few spare parts for the Walther including firing pins, grips, magazines.

If you want some more magazines for it I have a number of spares that are surplus to requirements.

You shoot a 10 by shooting good technical shots not by wanting to shoot 10's. Absolutely, reward yourself for the good application of the of the process and not the result of that process. ie: if you shot a ten reward yourself for the porcess that allowed you to shoot that ten, DO NOT reward yourse...

For me I have found using the trigger to pull the front sight straight back through the rear sight helps. Which in your terms is use the trigger to steer the sights - option B I have tried the other way but I have found for me it is better to have my mind actively thinking and doing something, in th...

If your hand is on the borderline of two sizes go for the bigger one.

They are great grips.

David Well done on you score for your first match. 533 is an incredibly good socre for a first match. Steve is offering advice from his point of view, it doesn't mean that it will suit you. If everyone did the same thing we would possibly all shoot the same scores. From my experience it pays to list...

Think about the front sight, look for a crisp clear sight see the edges bright and sharp, there is nothing else that matters in the world apart from seeing the crispest clearest front sight possible...... and by the way it should be lined up nicely in that square notch called the back sight. And bef...

You should not be actively looking for an abort. You should be expecting everything to unfold perfectly. Aborting a shot should happen if you become aware that it didn't fire or something seems to be developing abnormally. For your shot routine always approach it, believing it will be perfect. This...

I use a Hill pump and pump to 250 bar and whilst it takes a bit of effort anything from about 180 bar is down to technique rather than brute strength. Bend your knees and you will put all of your body weight behind it not just your upper body. I prefer a pump to a tank as there is no worries about p...

I know the feeling but the first cut is the hardest and the benefits are having a grip that fits nicely.

You can always buy another grip.

Even though the owner's manuals said dry firing was o.k. Excessive was about 50 snaps a day over about a year or so . . .
I would consider replacing my firing pin annually if I was doing this much dry firing.

I have a Toz 35 but have been using a CM84E for the last 6 months. Whilst the CM84E is a good gun and has a lot going for it I am heading back to the Toz. The CM84E has an extremely crisp trigger, a bit too much for my liking, and was also quite fussy in the ammunition, Eley ammo proved a pain apart...
