Pardini K2 cylinders

I have been shooting the K2s for over a year. Although there is no guage per se, I have no difficulty at all in evaluating the level of cylinder pressure. The line system is accurate and reliable. Better than 200 shots come from a complete fill (usually topped off with hand pump after preliminary fi...

Rink Grip

Joel,

Based on my experience but with borderline between med/large and shorter fingers, the larger size will work very well. You should consider the med. grip.

Rink Grip

Shadow, I have several exposures to Rink grip sizing. My AP had med. RH Rink on it when I bought it from our host. My hand size according to the chart borders on med/large. I am able to open the grip adjustment on the palm shelf all the way and it works fine. I ordered the large RH grip and am able ...

magnets

I have used several pairs of rare-earth magnets (typically available from woodworking catalogs or stores) sold in small blister packs. They match up on either side of the barrel, make no impediment on sight alignment and you can position any numbers of them along any spot of the barrel. They come in...

How about dryfire?

Kent,
Wondering how the pistol is set up for dry fire. And, did you get the accessory weight bars/weight? How/where do they attach? Thank you for going to the trouble to post the pictures and provide information.

Are there ANY dealers in the USA for this pistol?

An internet search turned up nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA, CraigE

513-T popular starting point

My folks got me a Remington (gosh was it heavy!) and made sure I got to the local armory where Bob Weideman (local police officer) coached and ran practices/matches. I was in Jr. High. By high school, I joined the rifle team (we only shot prone) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then.....college and all th...

suggestion to call Larry's Guns

As he is the importer, I think maybe an email or phone call would get you the answer. Larry is quite helpful.

gauging gauges

Pardini has opted to simply have the kind of analog "read-out" to which Nicole refers. That is 3 contrasting lines on the end of the cylinder. When the cap on the end of the cylinder closes to reveal only one line, it's time to refill as there are only 30 shots left. There is no glass to b...

cleaning format

Generally, I clean the barrel after about 2 tins of pellets. I use AP/AR patches with just a wee bit of Ballistol on them. I feed a length of fairly heavy nylon leader (fishing line) which has a loop tied in it. Feeding from the muzzle end so the loop appears at the breach. I put the patch in the lo...

further observation.....

Sorry I neglected to include this in the above post:

No acceptable results will happen without proper basis of fundementals for techniques. As I see it, this thread presumes a knowledge of fundementals techniques so that the conscious/subconscious are able to evaluate the efforts. MHO, CraigE

more thoughts and perhaps a parallel

Ed, (et al) I have enjoyed, pondered, evaluated and tried to relate to posts in this thread. Several analogies have popped up that bear consideration (water glass etc.). Another may well be playing a musical instrument. As a clarinetist, many things happen when I play. My fingers all know the locati...
