LP300

I have owned the pistol for several years now. It is extreemly accurate and has all the features of the current group of top end airpistols, such as adjustable grip position and anti recoil blow holes at the end of the barrel. The one thing that separates the Walther from the others is that the trig...

LP300

I have owned a LP300 for almost 3 years now. It has all the state of the art features of the current generation of air pistols. It is extremely accurate. The grip feels better than all others I have tried, including Morini grips. If you can get past the esthetics of the blue and tan strips of wood t...

Air Pistol trigger adjustments

As Spencer said above, total weight must be at least 500 grams. This is about the same weight as two full tins of 0.5 gram pellets. Depending on the adjustments available on your air pistol, most shooters adjust most of the weight onto the first stage of trigger pull, about 65 to 75 percent of the t...

Air pump workout

About 100 to 120 waist bends will fill a cyclinder. It is not really stressful, but you do have to put your upper body weight into the down stroke. Straightening back up is what wears me out. I have to stop about half way to rest up a few minutes. You definately do NOT want to pump up a cyclinder be...

S&W41

My Model 41 is now 24 years old. When I first got it, it would do the same thing, short stroke in recoil. I tried the lighter recoil springs and that helped. But, I finally had to have the chamber reemed slightly to faciliate extraction. This is not always the best thing to do as there will be some ...

In my opinion...

which is based on having to use a standard pistol for rapid fire for many years, is that soft ammunition and a low bore line are most important. I used my S&W 41 for most of the late 80's and all through the 90's. Yes, standard pistol shooters are at a big disadvantage in rapid fire, mainly in r...

El Cheapo trigger guage

For inexpensive weights, I use a full tin of pellets. 500 pellets x 0.5gm = 250 gm total weight. Suspend the correct number of tins from a bent coat hanger or some other suspension arraingment and you have a really cheap, reasonably accurate metric trigger weight guage.

LP300

I have been shooting a LP300 for about 2 years. It is a very accurate airpistol. In a soft rest, it will shoot one hole groups at 10 meters, not much larger than the diameter of the pellets! The grip is adjusted on a ball and socket device and is not difficult to adjust. One screw does it and the gr...
