When I notice that my grip wants to shift on a gun, it's because I was trying to make an improper grip work. If your handgrip isn't a vice to hold the pistol in one place, the fat of your palms pretty much allows for one position and that's with the backstrap of the gun in the crease between the fat...

Let's think about this on a MICRO level. Once the shot breaks, in that split instant the trigger (which has finger pressure on it) is providing no pressure back to the finger. This causes the finger to accelerate because nothing is now resisting it. The further the trigger moves before it is stopped...

OK, maybe I should have added my disclaimer before people took offense to it: the 65 I was using was tossed into a drawer in the armory for over 20 years by the time I picked it up. The gun book proved no one has touched it since then. That may have been why it was a little "stiffer" than ...

Although it was an old pistol, my only experience is with (I think) a FWB 65 and it will wear you out. I then moved on to (I think) was a FWB 2 but I was using CA and from what I can tell the 2 uses CO2. I can't find which FWB looks like the 2 but uses CA. Ah well, no matter.

Ok good, that just means that my Google is weak. I'll keep hunting for a compressed air gun.

School me: CO2 vs. compressed air

I am looking to getting back into shooting AP and was solely interested in compressed air guns. After a little searching I find that CO2 is a little more readily available. Is there a reason for this? Mind you, I was only in the 550-560's when I was shooting, so I was no accuracy ninja by any means....
