Re: New Manurhin MR73 Match shipment arrives in Oz.
Manurhins are being imported into Australia and I bought a MR73 Match .32 s&wl approximately two years ago,

Re: Fixing dead battery Walther SSP-E
I would like to add to CamelNL’s post regarding a battery change in the Walther SSP E. Before trying to press out the pin holding the trigger assembly in place first loosen the grub screw from above that locks the pin securely otherwise damage will occur. Once loosened the pin requires almost no pre...

Re: What New Free Pistol
There is another option....
Collect them and shoot them !
And even another....collect them, shoot them and eventually sell them. ( this is my preference )

Re: How do you keep it fun ?
Reduce your level of expectation as to what may result from training/practice and your enjoyment will not diminish and improvement will join the party at some point. It is a strange phenomenon but the harder you try the less easy and rewarding it becomes. It is also very hard to be in a relaxed stat...

Surprising that more investors aren’t looking at opening New Ranges from a commercial perspective.

Re: Wanting to start
Rover is right in that the most important aspect of a grip is that when the pistol is raised it brings the sights into alignment over the aiming area. However one of the major benefits of a pistol like Steyr is that the grip can be adjusted to make this happen and if it fits like a glove and is adju...

Re: How do you keep it fun ?
It might be worth not throwing yourself so deeply into training at this point. Do some dry firing on a blank target but why not use pellets after 5- 10 dry fires to gauge if you are practicing the correct technique.
This will combine work and pleasure easing the monotony of practice only.

Re: Olympic Pistol = Precision Shooting
Well said GoodEnuf.. and well done Mike M.
Perhaps several recent posts may encourage forum members to post more questions / information and hopefully invigorate this meeting place.
There is a WEALTH of information out there however sharing it is the secret.

Dying compared to what? When was this forum in the bloom of health? Coming from the great experience of less than 3 months and less than 40 posts. Declaring us "dying" is like driving by a highway accident scene and describing the precise sequence of events which led up to the crash, diag...

Re: Hammerli AP20 PRO cylinder hand pump charging
Take m1963’s advice. Pumps are a good way to waste money and will give the appearance that you have a nervous disorder. If you are insistent on buying a pump and proving me to be wrong then... 1. Do as GWhite has suggested and pump after....or at least two days before a competition. 2. Have some nit...

Re: Inband Air electronic target review
I'd be concerned about spatter at the target, and lead dust at the shooting line (from the muzzle). Ventilation really won't help with that, because there's no volatile component here. Lead is quite insidious in the home, and has a significant affect on young brains and nervous systems. TT life is ...

Re: Wanting to start
If the OP finds that there are very few or no Clubs/Ranges that actively conduct ISSF or other events then my advice is to look for another sport. Becoming a basement AP hero has limited rewards and no future. Olympic pistol shooting is virtually dead and buried from an OG perspective but pistol sho...

IMPROVE the FAS 6004 ?
Sell it ! .....or better still don’t buy it in the first place!
Would such an unfinished condition be accepted by the military ?
Chiappa should market them as “partly assembled and fine tuning left to the purchaser”
