GSP500

Looks like we have another 25m pistol. Walther presented GSP500 in IWA (and in their web site). In an you-tube interview they state it is an evolution of the old reliable GSP. it will come in 22 and 32 flavors. According to manual it has pneumatic damping. From the manual and from pictures i believe...

Re: Pardini Convertible Model

i believe if you buy new, the current pardini frame design accepts all 3 conversion kits (.22LR rapid fire / .22LR standard pistol / .32 center fire)

Re: AP with straight back trigger rather than pinned

The Morini picture posted looks like it is straight back but if you look at the exploded diagram it is pinned and rotates. Yes there is movement as the sear lets off. this movement generates a vector force that is not straight back depending on where the trigger is positioned. the morini in the pic...

Re: Airguns for beginners

you could also add the matchguns MGH-1 mech / gehmann GP-1. i think they are just over AP20 in price at least here in Europe.

Re: Pros and Cons of Electronic Trigger

As a shooter i went from IZH-46 (first air pistol i owned) to Steyr LP10 Mech (tried it twice and gave it to wife) then to an older 15V Morini 162 with fixed bottles and last stopped to Matchguns MG-1E. Always fascinated with elec triggers from the start (FWB 90). for me biggest pro of e-triggers is...

Re: Recommendation $1500 budget intro to PCP (MatchGuns MGH1, AP20Pro, Air Arms Alfa?)

of the three you mention the mgh1 is the more adjustable and perhaps the one with the "best" factory grip. if you are in USA i am not sure if mg support is at the same level as a steyr or morini but on the other end you will get a new airgun. used pistols as gwhite mentions can have hidden...

Re: Pardini & Rapidfire

the rfp discipline is a difficult one. when we had .22 short there was many more pistols in the market. for example walther OSP, FAS etc. when rfp turned to .22lr suddenly osp was not an option (they didnt evolve OSP to .22lr probably because they didn't want to lose sales of GSP), fas had problems ...

Re: Home range targets

if you use quality targets you can score 5 shots easily. they dont tear and the holes are very clean. you can even patch them and use them for a second time. we use 5 or 3 for club matches (3rd division?) and one shot per target for nationals and 1st division matches. for practice i shot 10 per targ...

Re: Sights and target lighting

Any chance that the bright light might make your focus on the target subconsciously greater than your sights? Being away from the sport can cause a slight lapse of all the little nuances that make you a good shooter. problem it is not only the sights but whole picture is not correct. i wonder if a ...

Re: Benelli Kite Air Pistol Cylinder Dealers in Europe?

you can always try 3rd party pcp cylinders like prelutec or 10punkt9 if they can build you benelli cylinders. in their site they dont have them but you can always ask.

also since you have so many kite's and probably the need for more than one cylinder why not ask benelli directly.

Re: Does anyone know the cost of an Electronic Target System

i am not sure end user can do this test. to calculate the spaced holes you need to know how much the target moved the roll between shots.

Re: Morini AP Differences

if my memory is ok the titanium model had a new valve from titanium of course. it was lighter and therefore had less locktime. i dont know if it is the same these days. and of course the digital manometers. the current ei model has a different board (2xAAA batteries) and grip from the old one (15V)
