Re: Get a grip, man!

Re: Margolin Orthopaedic Grips Available Again

I've been using a homemade ortho grip I rigged out of modeling clay with steel reinforcements on my Margolin, but this looks so much better.

Re: Do you think this grip extends past the Wrist?

It may well be it does not touch the wrist anywhere, but as I read the rule the grip should not obstruct the view of the wrist. That interpretation would make sense, since the point is to permit controlling whether the wrist is unsupported.

Re: What to Buy ? Feinwerkbau P8X vs Walther LP 500

Considering P8X myself.

I see some sellers offer it with 2 cylinders only, some allow with one at a reduced price. I wouldn't dwell on compatibility with AP20: it's probably easiest to sell Hämmerli together with its cylinders to fund the Feinwerkbau.

Re: Is 50M pistol a dead sport?
