Re: Pardini & Rapidfire

I owned a Pardini RF until recently and found it had more positive attributes than most pistols I have owned even though it was not perfect. The grip was not completely suitable, the rear sight width adjustment was not suitable for a 5 mm. front sight and the first stage became scratchy if adjusted ...

Re: No budget constraints

Unread post by Rover » Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:15 pm Well, William, I agree. But, I also state that the shooter can have no longer have any excuse for piss-poor performance. Too bad for many here who have their dreams of glory shattered by their new purchase. The opposing view to this is that the user w...

Re: help with LP500

The screw that you marked is the right one. I think that you can access it with the short end of a normal allen key. This way you don't have to move the trigger. Keep in mind that moving the trigger changes the trigger weight slightly, because you change leverage. If you choose to experiment with y...

Re: Scoring 32 as 38

Yes..probably only a few points but the real benefit gained by using a .32 is in the ergonomics of a modern semi auto v something like a s&w k38.

And you'll end up with an all wood grip, that can be finnished to look factory new.

Re: Caution when purchasing new IZH 46

Best Master is a bench vice...clamp the pistol in it and set up a target at 33 feet, then fire multiple shots.
Don’t be surprised if they make a one hole group.

I was unaware that Beretta now have a major share of Chappius Armes....this may change the dynamics either way.

Re: New Manurhin MR73 Match shipment arrives in Oz.

Beretta have nothing to do with the production or quality of Manurhin, which is the sole responsibility of Chapius Armes the owners of the Manurhin range of pistols. Beretta Australia have simply secured the importation and distribution rights within Australia. They have taken over this responsibili...

Re: Hill Pump Questions

In Australia scuba tanks require a hydro test annually if used for diving but only every five years if for shooting or air tools. Dive shops keep this under their hat in most cases and you may have to sign a form stating that the air will not be used for diving. ...just wondering if the U.S. has a s...

Re: Sam M10 air pistol parts manual

The quad seal is one of the problems, but it would be nice to know the size. I am yet to see the pistol, so far only pictures. After removing the internal regulator parts it is very hard to find the “ quad seal” as you have referred to it David, however it is within a machined piece that looks as i...

Re: New .38 match revolver - which looks very interesting

I have used one that is owned by a fellow Club member. The recoil is uniquely subdued and less/different than my .32 S&W L with the manufacturing and machining being very good. However It had one of the heaviest triggers I have ever used and made handling and firing the revolver very difficult. ...
