Do most shooting glasses allow you to move the lens closer and father away from your eye? If not all, which ones do? My optician is really trying to get a lens that gives sharp focus of the front sight. When I sight in his office and he holds up different + lenses in front of my existing "shoot...

Funny title, but I'm serious in learning about them. E.g. Olympic and Knobloch. Do you find them better for pistol shooting then regular frames? Why? Is it simple to replace the lens with another? If I have multiple lens holders can I replace without wasting too much time? This is interesting to me ...

If you have too much oil Hi, I usually, including this last cleaning, have no oil on the firing pin other than what's left after a very slightly oil damped cloth was used to wipe it down during cleaning. The extra oil I put on today after another light strike was on the "wings" of the bol...

Alas, New firing pin didn't help. Replaced recoil spring at the range and reassembled pretty wet. Still got light strikes. Switched from RWS to Wolf Match Extra and got 60 shots away. Could be a bad batch of RWS?! Its a particular brick I hadn't used in the Pardini yet; but have used that brand/styl...

Yes, Vladimir, Alex, and Emil are definitely always helpful. FYI, I was shooting RWS Target Pistol. Luckily I just found a spare firing pin! It measures 0.0075" longer than my used one. Putting that in. And I'll make sure the chamber is clean, looked it yesterday but it's too good a piece of ad...

Hi, They say no good deed goes unpunished. Well the shooting corollary is no cleaned pistol shoots as well as a dirty one! I cleaned my filthy Pardini SP 22 after shooting an 842 in a 900 this weekend; i.e. it was working fine. At practice today and then during a match just now I got 5 light strikes...

The pardini k12 which I was trying at the end of May, after a few hundreds shots (it was brand new) was not engaging any more. I just turned a 1/4 of round the sear engagement and had again that great fine trigger. I wonder if all Pardini's have that issue? I had a new K10 require the same action a...

Hi, I have some that I tried out as well; given I can't find Bullseye. A professional reloader on the Bullseye List recommended 4.2gr, but, my gun liked 4.4gr the most; 0.7 inch center-to-center groups off a rest at 50'. I didn't have access to a longer indoor range at the time. This with 200g LSWC....

Personally I feel I should use all the time I have to make sure I approach the shot correctly. I fire Timed like I'm shooting 5 slow fire shots without putting the gun down. After recoil jumps the gun up to the left, I automatically move it over; then I come down on the bull starting to increase tri...

I've got plenty of modeling clay on the grip now, but that doesn't help without reshaping the ball, palm-finger valley, and the angle of the finger flats. Just pushing the heel of the palm to the right makes for an unnatural feeling grip because of the wrist angles it forces. Luckily I finally got a...

I have a deformed right arm. I put a lot of putty on my Pardini grips to fill in the empty space when I revolve my hand around grip so I can line up the sites/dot without having to pivot my wrist. On my Steyr air gun I rotate the grips as much as possible, even shaved some wood to rotate even more. ...

That's what I'v started to do, though for a minute. 10 reps after a practice session. My hold has gotten better for it.

You didn't mention your skill level or experience. But, I think at any level its sometimes nice to shoot supported. This gets any movement of the body and arm out of the equation. Why I like it is because you can work on it until you see yourself firing, dry or live, with absolutely no movement of t...

Call the folks at Pardini USA. Vladimir told me my SP could be converted to work with the 32 conversion. There would be some added cost, but cheaper than a new pistol.

Get on his good side by telling him how awesome his son just shot, again, at the nationals! :-)

But that's just it, the front sight appears bigger to my eyes.

Yes you're of course right Fred. I wrote what I wanted it to say not what it did say. Typical (for me) miss-communication between brain and fingers!

Hi, I'm trying to find a font sight blade for my LP10 that is skinnier than what it came with. It says 4.5mm on the side, not sure if that's width or height. Our hosts says "order by width" but then shows a picture which seems to me to be showing front sights of different height AND width.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I'll try the exotic masking tape and candle suggestions first since they can be done tonight before my next practice session. But, when I watched the Ray-Vin demo video, I saw that he passed the flame right onto his sight. So I'm confused on how this really wo...
