Yeah I won't be doing that. Try to avoid derailing this thread with your religious nonsense too because the mods will just nuke this whole thread if it goes in the direction you want to take it.

I'd already read enough about this pistol to know that I want one. Now I want two.

And just to clarify for some of the sympathisers: when this saga was first posted, the first reply was from someone who said they'd bought several guns from Larry and had nothing but exceptional service. It was just a factual statement with no mention of robinhoods. Instead of acknowledging that, pe...

Re: larrys guns.watch out-check dates on cylinders

...Why would you care if you pay for something new and you get it but it has Five year old parts. I scored in the 98 percentile and qualified for appeals court judge among one of the jobs but I guess buying new and expecting new is not relevant anymore in this country...

I know the government is unsympathetic to victims, but do you really care? If I understand the question correctly then the answer is no, I do not care. That notwithstanding, I have no need to have an immediately accessible shotgun when sleeping, although it would take more than legislation to stop ...

Gerard that is certainly a possibility. He's not a fully-fledged troll, I don't think he has impure motives of any kind. I think there are other issues at play that I won't get into lest this post disappear into the ether. I wouldn't say I crossed the line before, but maybe I touched it which in sho...

I had some posts nuked for less than that Gerard. I don't disagree with any of what you said though. I know and work with a few people like robinhoods and I can tell you that none of your words will penetrate the bubble of brilliance he lives in. There have been many people question his actions in t...

Off the thread topic, but related to the bottom of the current RF target is releasing the shot while on the rise for the rapid fire stage of CF - lots of shooters got 290+ using this technique Really? Hmm... I wonder why. I can only guess that the smooth ascent helps but it seems like releasing the...

Spencer I'm not sure why I didn't think to try that; I remember when my old man's vision started deterioriating I suggested the exact same thing and helped him set up his S&W like that. Like your Morini it just scraped in. I have no idea if my Pardini will get there but I'll give it a go next ti...

Shooting rapid fire at night

I joined a club that shoots at night, which is excellent because it gives me more chances to shoot. The problem is that I've never shot at night before and despite having generally good eyesight I really struggle with the black sights on the full black rapid fire target. I'm curious if others have t...

Haha I thought my chances of finding these in Australia was practically zero but I guess I can omit the 'practically' now. Edit - And of course I just found a used FWB Model 100 that's been for sale for 9 months. I'll have to research it a bit because unfortunately I'm likely to be buying sight unse...

Morten I see the owner of that LP10 has put it on a used guns website here. It has an after market XL grip which makes it tempting because I have big hands and will almost certainly have to regrip any other used gun I buy. But then if I stretch that far maybe I could stretch another $600 to a new K1...

...has a Steyr LP10 for sale at $1600, maybe you can bargen some more Thanks morten. Interesting to check out that group and I'll look into it a bit more. It's still a bit high for me but $1600 is not bad at all for an LP10 since we get stooged big time over here for Steyrs. A new one is closer to ...

Thanks Rob. It definitely has removable air cylinders as it comes with two... I didn't realise there were un-removable ones to be honest. I'll try to do a more comprehensive search to determine if they are different. If it's just a precursor to the LP-1 and has steel cylinders and no compensator the...

Currently looking into a Steyr Mannlicher Match LP. Judging by Google image search I am assuming this is similar or identical to a Steyr LP-1. Is there any difference? From what I've read, I should be looking for a 'newer' one with a compensator and aluminium cylinders. I've pieced a lot of this tog...

Purchasing an air pistol

I'm looking at buying an air pistol but for various reasons my options are limited, so I'm after a bit of advice. I have a Pardini .22 and without having ever held one I would like to get a K12, but they're a bit pricey and I'm not as willing to spend big money as I was for my rimfire pistol. I've l...

Presumably too front heavy even with the weights removed? Fair enough.

Is the GSP much lighter up front?

Just curious... any particular reason you sold the Pardini? How old was it? What matches do you shoot?
