Recommendation for a cross-trainer air pistol
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2024 3:09 pm
Hello,
I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask this, as I should know the answer. However, I've learned that "I don't know" is a pretty powerful phrase.
I have a relative who recently got into PRS (Precision Rifle Series? I think it's that discipline with running around with rifles and shooting targets at unknown distances. Not 100% clear on that.)
I told him, sight unseen, that his trigger control sucks and that shooting air pistol would be the best training aid he could do. (I've seen a lot of rifle shooters in my day and unless they come from silhouette, their trigger control sucks, and they have no concept of shooting within an arc of movement. Conversations with him indicated as much.)
Is the Steyr EVO10 the successor to the LP10? It's a little spendy at $2,400, but I could possibly talk him into "buy once cry once." Used is definitely a good option, and I will keep my eyes out for those.
I have not had great experiences with the AirArms PCP pistols, so I'm looking for some options to recommend to him somewhere in between that price point and a top-of-the-line Olympic grade AP. That covers a lot of ground.
Recommendations appreciated!
