Nicole,
Thanks for the great review. Larry Carter ought to use it on his web site!

BTW, I was able to set up my Toz trigger so that it behaves just like your Pardini - 50 gm, definite slack in the 1st stage takeup, and a nice roll before the click.

Re: Ok...

The original statement I argued against was the speculation that Miller did not care about performance and training and I want to stick with that. So, he may say stupid things, once again I think the media adds their own little flair to it as well. By his own admission, Miller says he was less read...

Miller said I got to party and socialize at an Olympic level

After reading Bodie Miller's interview, I vote to do away with skiing and replace it with one of the shooting sports where athletes really care about doing well and train for it.

I believe your shooting governing bodies should be addressing this problem as a matter of urgency otherwise it risks alienating the entire USA from a shooting perspective. Rob. Both NRA and USAS have been/are addressing this issue - with no success so far. My view is that the Dept of Home Land Secu...

What about the Anschutz? Got a catalog in the mail today and noticed the good looking models in there but are they all ladies and no accuracy? I've no direct experience with the Anschutz, but have heard good things about it. Apparently the gun is a collaboration between Steyr and Anschutz. I like t...

Can the Mornini trigger be adjusted left and right? How about the Steyr? I had big hands but shot fingers and the way I have my Walther CP2 set up it with the trigger swung out a little to the right. Which one has better recoil control? Man I hate how with the Walther CP2 jumps!!! But then again it...

AJ, You might try attending a local AP match and getting a look at some of these pistols. Most shooters will be willing to allow you to handle their gun and perhaps even shoot it. There is an AP sectional in March in Billings: MONTANA, Billings: Mar. 11-12, R; L. Muller, 1120 17th St., W., Billings,...

James,
I can't answer your question, but I will say that I tried quick connect/disconnect fittings between my Hill pump and AP cylinder and found that these fittings will leak. I went back to a rigid connection between the pump and the cylinder adapter.

2. Drop this "picture" of aligned sights onto the target and complete the "picture." You should only have to concentrate on the front sight at this time since the sights will remain aligned from step 1 through the shot. Joe, My process is similar to yours. I continue to struggle...

You said "if you allow it to...". Maybe thats what I am struggling with. How do I allow my subconscious to take over? At the moment I am not letting (to the best of my ability) my brain tell my finger to pull the trigger. But it seems to me that there must be some predictability in the sy...

Walt,
Just increase the sear engagement to get more of a roll. That's the screw with the red sealant on it. Try it, you might like it.

Mike, One thing the LP1 offers is the conversion to compressed air. That may or may not be a feature for you. I converted mine. I am a new AP shooter (two yrs), but have been able to take advantage of the adjustable grip as well as the many front and rear sight adjustments. Hope these comments help ...

I have been using it on my Toz. The problem I have ran into is with the sensor I have I needed to create an adapter so I could strap it on to my Toz. I put a piece of wood and a piece of tubing around the barrel and then strap on the sensor and it then fits. Yes, using the RIKA sensor with the Toz ...

I agree with Richard. TT is fine just as it is. As for Bullseye-L serving the needs of Bullseye shooters quite well - it is unfortuneate (for BE) that not one of the suppliers to that market has been willing to support a technically up to date forum the way that Scott has done for International.

Ross,
I second Chris' comment on Edelman targets. None of the NRA approved, U.S. manufactured, 10 m AP targets are any good. Even on a cardboard backer they produce irregular holes. They are not even fit for practice.
