This site has an excellent search function. A search for 'compensators' in Olympic Pistol will give you two pages of threads to read

When I'm having a bad day, and shooting a pistol balanced toward the grip, I notice that the front sight seems to vibrate a little. Adding mass at the end of the barrel increases moment of inertia and dampens the vibrations. This also helps reduce the lower frequency motions associated with movement...

They are expensive, but I use AA Lithium batteries in expensive equipment. They store more energy and I don't believe they are prone to leak. I use rechargeable NiMH batteries in most other applications. They do not leak.

The pinnacle is a nice unit, but I get the same results with an old, cheap, MP3 player and downloaded range commands. Cost $0. Far far better than the timer as it allows you to practice cadence with the commands. I set my player on loop play and practice the entire 10 round sequence without having t...

Trigger manipulation in sustained fire may be different and if the disconnector is worn, could lead to problems. Just a guess.

A search of Swartz AND electronic will provide a good list. Here is a good thread from that series http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php ... electronic

Fred, how do you feel about the trigger on your LP50? Have you compared it to the LP10? The LP50 and LP10 triggers are quite different. The LP50 has a single stage trigger with a bit of roll. Just what is needed for an AP sustained fire course. With the heavy trigger version set to 3.5 lb it is a f...

It's the way you worded the question. I have used gritty media on parts of my grips, but not the whole grip.

I had a go at using the LP50 for sustained fire training when I first got it. Put on the 45 grip adapter, the heavy trigger, and a red dot. Didn't do much for me, since my main issue in CF/45 sustained fire is recoil and trigger management. Didn't help in 22 T/R training either - it just felt differ...

I've been shooting pistol since 1955, started in Massachusetts, and have never heard of USRA until I read Solomon's response.

Fred-thanks I will experiment with those. However my question was actually which brand of *felt* pellet you use. I read that the RWS ones are "longer", so I was wondering which ones you find fit the magazine without trimming. Thanks again. Sorry, didn't read your question carefully. I thi...

Fred- Is there a brand of felt pellet that you find fits best in the magazine? Thanks again FWIW, I have used RWS Hobby, R10 light, Beeman Trophy. The latter for Silhouette with targets beyond 10M. The pellets must be seated just below flush and I use a Beeman seating tool to do this quickly and ea...

This discussion convinces me that the Steyr LP10E will not be on my wish list

Is there a listing of the olympic results and the weapons used for each medal? Rifle, pistol, air, I wanna know them all! This question has been asked before, and the answer has always been that there is no such listing. The IOC would consider this information as advertising and therefore does not ...

It would be interesting to find out if any cylinders failed inspection.

I am still working on getting photos taken of my TOZ 35. I am probably going to have to email them to someone that can post them to this thread since I think the photos will be too large too post and I have no way to reduce them. It will probably be next week before I can take photos of the TOZ. Op...

Thanks guys. Can I also ask how you clean? Are felt pellets every tin or so enough? Is a particular brand of felt pellet better? Felt pellets are the only way to 'clean' an LP50, and, yes, a few every tin or so won't hurt. More important is keeping the mags clean and properly lubed to reduce wear o...

In these times, you should be happy that you are (still) working :-)

I don't claim to be an expert on this subject but is the ISSF applying German law to this 10 year rule for all countries. I'll say it yet again. The ISSF is not applying a 10 year rule. Please read Rule 6.2.2.8 "It is the shooter’s responsibility that any air or Co2 cylinder has been certified...

And let me add that any info anyone gives you on results for his LP10 will most likely not apply to yours. The guns are not identical and the batches that he/she tested will likely not be the batches that you test. I have so far successfully resisted the temptation to test pellets in my AP, and spen...
