K12 JR sound

Using a cheap sound meter about a yard away I got a reading of 95.6 DB for the Pardini and 91.1 for the Biakal 46m. At a yard to the other side the Pardini was 96.4 and the 46M was 92.3 The Pardini sounds much louder to me than the 4 DBs but that was average difference the meter picked up. Could a 4...

That's my JR. I got to hear a standard length K12 before I bought my JR and was surprised by how much louder it was. I wear "ears" shooting the JR and none at all the 46M.

Pistol weight in general a factor?

I've noticed that I have more "wobble" before, during ' after with a new compact than my heavy IZY. I'm wondering if maybe for some shooters & pistols the barrel weights help simply by adding additional weight?

I do occasionally hear a "loose" sound when the pistol is tilted down. I'll talk to the dealer today and see if they want to let me open it up or if they would prefer I send it back for a more expert look at. Not sure about what you mean by "loose sound" when the pistol is tilte...

My IZH 46M is quiet enough that my wife can watch TV in another room at the same time I'm shooting from the kitchen into the garage. I recently picked up a K12 Junior (short barrel) and it's way to loud to use when she is home. I'd love to find something as light and accurate as that K12J and as qui...

Emil had me pull the grip off turn a screw 1/4 of a turn counter clockwise. Problem fixed!

Pauln, trigger has nice travel and a clearly defined release when the breech closure doesn't pre-fire. I don't have a gauge but it is a bit more firm then the one on my Biakal. I do occasionally hear a "loose" sound when the pistol is tilted down. I'll talk to the dealer today and see if t...

Mine randomly fires the pellet in the act of closing the breech with the pistol in left in the live fire mode. I believe that is a different issue than the release of air switching between dry and live fire?

K12JR

My K12 Junior just arrive today. It is my 2nd air pistol so I only have a BIAKAL to compare it to. The K12 is lighter and louder. Loud enough that shooting inside I put ears on. My groups are much smaller with the K12 but I had to play it safe and stop using it after putting a pellet into a cabinet ...

Central California air pistol shooters?

Anyone in the San Luis Obispo area looking for a bi-weekly 10 meter match? I have a 10 meter indoor range and would enjoy some local fun competition, maybe twice a month or so on a weekday evening.
