Barrel length

My initial impetus for the short was my Bullseye gun. I started with a short barrel Mod 41, then tried a long barrel 41 and then a High Standard Military 107 which I eventually replaced the barrel with an aluminum/steel 5" barrel. This put the weight back into my hand, sort of like the 162 shor...

Barrel Length

Thanks for the input David and Gary. This is what I had been thinking and why I ordered the short version in the first place. Just getting anxious about whether I'll ever see it. Something about Morini production problems?

Barrel length

I've been waiting for a Morini 162EA short barrel version for several months now. I'm beginning to wonder about the wisdom of buying a short barrel gun. The difference seems only 25 or 50mm at the most. Sight radius seem close. Any feedback on short vs. normal length barrels?
Thanks,
Stu

Grip

Thanks Bill. Exactly the way (more or less) I have been fitting a pistol to my hand. It occurred to me that with the grip angle and lack of recoil, some modification would be required from the NRA near death grip used with service loads in a leg match. I thought perhaps I could relax a tad! Seems th...

3X Air Pistol and Rifle

Having just started AP shooting after a long break from 3 gun NRA, would there be any disadvantage to shooting this match? Would a low score hinder future goals? I'm not yet familiar with the scoring systems in International shooting and don't know if this would be advantageous, disadvantageous or, ...

Thanks for the information. This was exactly what I was

AP grip (how tight)

I'm just starting out in AP. My backround is NRA 3 gun bulls eye.
My grip has always been as tight as my strength allowed without shake or disturbing sight alignment or trigger pull. Is the same true for AP?

thanks,

Air pistol ranges in Denver, CO

I'm thinking of getting back into shooting sports via Air Pistol. I used to own a Hammerli gas gun that used the little CO2 cartridges and once shot at the Olympic Center in Colorado Springs, enjoying it very much. I'm new to this forum. Anyone know of organized air pistol competition in the Denver ...
