Yes

I agree with David M. The initial setup takes only an hour or so but then you need to shoot with it. You will find that you will be 'tweaking' it for the next several months.

Again, good luck.

Agree

I am not familiar with your pistol as I have a Pardini. However, if there is no internal swivel adjustment, you will have to do what I did with my pistol and do some carving. Here is a link you should find helpful. It shows you where to add or take away from the grip depending on whether the pistol ...

Thank you all

I have a 30 year old pair of Knobloch glasses but the nose piece has broken. I have tried to fix it but I am not happy with my repair. I have a number of attachments, including the adjustable iris and several tinted lens so I was just looking for a new frame. I was hoping the Varga frame might be a ...

Varga Shooting Glasses

What is the difference between the Varga 2000 model and the 3000 model.

The photos and description appear to be the same on the Pilkington web page.

Rod

I bought my Pardini PGP 75 used without a rod or weights. I made the rod myself and had a machine shop make the weights. I found a grommet at a hardware store.

I am sure you can fix yours by yourself.

Electronic Training

Does anyone know of instructors/shooting sites which use electronic training systems such as the Scatt or Noptel to do analysis of pistol shooting technique in the Western US?

Thanks You

Rob, I have worked on my grip and I believe that you were correct that it was too loose. It now fits like a glove and there is no movement when tightening or loosening the grip. My only concern is that it is still cool weather here. What will happen when I have to shoot in hot weather. Will my hand ...

Wow!

Now I'm nervous.

I realize that CO2 cylinders only use about 1/3 the pressure of Air but I will have to have mine checked out soon.

Pressure Testing

I know that Fire Extinguishers and Scuba air tanks are pressure tested before reloading. I don't know if CO2 or Air cylinders can be done by the same people. I have a FWB Model 2 which has to be at least 20 years old. I stopped shooting for a number of years but recently got back into it. It seems t...

Movement of sights

When I squeeze my grip, the front sight rises.

Which part of my grip should I work on to prevent this?

I lot of people start out in their first Free Pistol matches shooting a magazine fed pistol.

You just have to load it 1 cartridge at a time.

Skinned elbows

I had the same problem until I changed out the cotton sweatshirt I was wearing under my coat. I now wear a smooth lycra type under garment.
