Murph, Thanks for the photo of the Timed Fire Target. Outstanding shooting! I realize that ANYBODY can post ANYTHING on these forums. But, somewhere in my reloading room, I have a similar Timed Fire Target. Shot on an indoor 25 yard range, was using a High Standard Victor, an UltraDot Sight and CCI ...

Rogerj,

Trooperjake stated that in his area rifle powders are in abundance, while pistol powder can not be found. The situation is the same here in my part of Wisconsin. The reason for this according to my local dealer? More and more people are shooting handguns today because of the nation wide concealed ca...

Jerry Keefer, Appreciate your reply to my dot sight proposal for the Pardini's. For those of us who prefer UltraDots, do you have a mounting solution for them similar to the one shown in your posting for the H-1 sight? If I do get an SP one day, would prefer to not use rings that attach into those c...

Never held one of these guns, don't own one, maybe will some day. So many of us here in the States use red dot sights on our Bullseye pistols. With that in mind, why don't the Pardini people simply drill and tap a few #6-48 holes into the top of the pistol? Then supply a flat-bottomed, Weaver-type b...

Rover, For those of us who do not speak or understand the language, please translate: "Hijo de puta culeros!" into English. I barely remember any of the 2 years of Spanish I studied in high school, having graduated back in 1973. Do not know exactly what this means, but I suspect that Mrs. ...

chiltech500, Welcome aboard! One thing I would like to suggest to you as a beginning Bullseye shooter; get a copy of Gil Hebard's book titled, "The Pistol Shooter's Treasury". Gil was one of the all time great Bullseye shooters from the late 1940's until the early 70's. His publication con...

Leon, Thank you for the photos of your new pistol. Is there any way to readily attach a dot sight DIRECTLY to the pistol without having to use an additional mount of some kind? Seems to me that the older model did have a grooved top that would allow this. I wish all of the target pistol makers offer...

Rover,

After running out of CCI, you switched to Fiocchi with complete satisfaction. I am curious...what make and model of .22 pistol are you shooting?

waxman, Thank you so very much for your reply. The blog you referred me to is just what I was looking for! You are absolutely correct about how the O.A.L. of a .22 round can affect functioning in a pistol that relies solely on the magazine's feed lips for proper feeding. Thanks to the others who als...

My High Standard Victor functions well with CCI SV Ammo and the accuracy is very good as well. As my supply of it is running dangerously low, I tried 100 rds. of SK Jagd Standard Plus instead and had major functioning issues with it. Went back to the CCI and the functioning was perfect once again. M...

Here's my solution to this whole problem. It is one I have been using for decades, even before this issue cropped up in the past few years. Right before heading off to the range, I run a black "Sharpie" marking pen across the back of my live rounds while they are positioned nose-down in a ...

craigp, Lyman makes very tough and durable .22 dummy rounds that I feel are superior to all of the other brands out there. Try this at your next practice session at the range. Load a single live round directly into the chamber, close the bolt and then insert a magazine with 5 rounds into the pistol....

The slide on your 1911 is locked open and the chamber is empty. You insert/seat a magazine with 5 rounds into the pistol. Before hitting the slide stop, I was taught early on to first hold the hammer back. This was advised for 2 reasons: for safety and to help preserve the trigger job your gunsmith ...

Kinks, When you shot rifle matches, what hold did you use then? I am assuming you were using a Service Rifle with a front blade and a rear peep. Just curious. When I started Bullseye years ago, I had trouble with a Center Mass hold. The black front and black rear sights would be hard for me to see a...

craigp, One thing to consider at this time. I shot with iron sights when I started Bullseye way back in 1978. But things have changed for me since then. Made the switch to UltraDot Sights in 2002. With my High Standard Victor, installation was simple and easy. Took off the 3 screws that held the iro...

Changed from iron sights to UltraDots in 2002. To "zero" them, I simply mounted one onto the pistol's base, shot 5 rounds of Slow Fire @ 25 yards and made w. and e. adjustments as needed. Five more rounds for confirmation, then maybe a final click or 2 and all was well. Called Burris about...

Does any one know what equipment Jim Henderson used to set this new

record with? Not trying to "buy any points", but inquiring minds would

like to know specifics about his pistol, ammo, sight, gunsmith, etc.

Just curious!

oldcaster, Thank you for the measurements. You stated that they were taken from "a 4 dot Ultradot". Is your's a 30 mm sight? The one I may buy is a 30 mm with the fixed 4 MOA dot. Do the "4 dot Ultradot" sights use the exact same 30 mm tube as the one found on the "fixed 4 M...

Just a few more things I forgot to mention in my last posting. I may have to use the UltraDot supplied rings as they are not as wide as other aftermarket, Weaver-type rings that are horizontally-split. Using them may allow a 30 mm sight to still be installed, seeing how ring spacing is so limited he...
