Does anyone knows what is the thread on screw no. 54 (part number TOZ 35 000.007), or the screw’s exact dimensions?

Good point, it was not the pistol in question but the air cylinder (always one with Walther) and it was repaired. The problem is straightforward, threads with too narrow pitch are much more prone to misalignment and when that happens small/narrow threads gets quickly under too much stress, which is ...

Yes, it happened to two my club colleagues. Both pistols were repaired in Dortmund last year by Walther’s service team at no cost. What was funny is that the repairman had put a serious effort to explain to our coach how to fix the air cylinder on the pistol without damaging the threads!!!! Anyway, ...

I will kind of miss him too. He did an extraordinary thing 35 years ago setting a benchmark that every slow-fire pistol shooter dreamed to reach.

Do more legs and core, reduce exercises for upper torso and arms, especially the arms.

Definitely double breath! Inhale while lifting the gun. Stop at the top and exhale while lowering it. When reach the white part of the target above the black circle stop again and make final adjustment in gripping, sight picture and trigger finger position. Inhale again but only to 2/3 or even less ...

I liked the most the underlining message: “Ninety per cent of all so called psychological problems stem from inadequate ability to properly execute a decent shoot! Once the technical skill is mastered in full it is much easier to cope with the competition pressure.” Indeed, the fear that we can make...

I put once RWS Basic pellets up-side-down and the series was 93, pretty much the same as any other series but with pellets loaded normally. Before, I had tried with even cheaper Gamo pellets who were turned up-side-down and results were worse for just a point (and sometimes two) per series. The diff...

„Morini“ grip paste is in a polyester putty designed for repair and gluing of wood (darker colouration). It is made by Italian company Industria Chimica Reggiana from Reggio nell'Emilia, city in the northern Italy. Morini rebranded it and, as Tycho says, sells it for five times the original price. I...

I shoot in Adidas Power Lift Trainer (http://www.adidas.com/us/product/mens-weightlifting-power-lift-trainer-shoes/SN823) and I’m quite satisfied. I haven’t start to use then at the shooting range until I saw Korean shooters using weightlifting shoes, and then it rang the bell. The sole is dead flat...

Just returned from IWK Munchen, and MEC people stated they expect English translation to be ready in autumn.

I’m one of those who were ridiculed by Russ for using Izh-53 in my “initiation” period. He said something like “in my ex-country it was used in circuses for amusing masses.” Sure, I called him anal but his downplaying did not stop me shooting. He was harsh and crude to whomever did not share his vis...

Looks great! How do you fasten the blade for the shaft? Using the same Allen screw? How do you actually perceive feel of the raised inner ribs at the blade, and do they help to position the trigger finger more consistently in the same spot.

Those who find new "all start even in the final" rule illogical might like to sign an online petitionagainst it. Quite a number of olympic level shooters have singed it so far.

Where I live in Europe it is not that complicated to get concealed carry permit, of course if you provide a good enough reason to police that has the discretion right. On top of it, the ISSF style shooting was always very popular, particularly rifle disciplines. However, air pistol is not very popul...

A gripmaker will usually follow his idea of how he wants to position the hand in relation to the gun. Most obvious aspects are vertical and lateral angles, but there are more. If you look at early, middle-age and new Morini grips, Nill, Rink, or new Cesare Morini (Matchguns) grips you can see the d...

The Morini and the Rink actually follow quite different philosophies, so it's not surprising that a person that likes the one doesn't like the other. Tycho, what do you mean by "different philosophies"? In which way they differ? I didn't like Morini grip as it was too thin and went after ...

Here are two variants of a same target, on which you can have 5 different dry fire practices. It is designed for shortened distance (2.9 meter). The line thickness equals diameter of the 10 ring, and the size of the black circle reflects that of target’s black circle. Variant of the target with flat...

Greetings, It may be helpful to place your hand on a scanner along with a scale. Send the image to the grip manufacturer and see what response you get from them. Cheers, Dave This is exactely what I had done when asking Rink which size he would recommend, and ultimately I'm satisfied with the grip.

Guys, I thank you for your comments and suggestions but I believe for some reason I did not make myself clear. I already wrote that a properly executed shot will result in a recoil-less action of the pistol. Even my spring pistol will not recoil if the shot is perfectly executed. My question is: Wh...
