Well to each his own I guess. Although I am also in the camp which thinks the weight is too light. Unlike your musical instument, the pistol shoots pretty lethal lead so I would also be cautious from that point of view. Just be careful that your gun does not go off outside your target area else you ...

it is not crazy as long as you know what you want. there is a difference in just building a car and building a ferrari. check out igor's blog where he has made his own grip and electronic trigger for a Toz and a compensator for a FWB C20 multi shot CO2 pistol. maybe you would find it easier to fine ...

The shooting range in India where I shoot would make you wear safety glasses in the section where semi auto was used as they were very concerned with hot cases being ejected. All the free pistol shooters always used the same section as rifle shooters (non-auto). luckily in this range, people take ol...

The minimum shot number to have any hope of being statistically significant is 7. The three and five shot groups that are so popular are meaningless. If you shoot a bad group, then the pellet and/or gun is bad. If you shoot a good group, it means nothing at all. For my own testing I shoot 25 or 30 ...

wear ear plug and muff might help I second that. You have to double up! Foam plugs in the ears and a good set of ear muffs. I was at our indoor range last month and ended up with a guy shooting a .45 auto next to me. He was setting off my free pistol when he would shoot. It was very dangerous and c...

When I was choosing my first pistol, I looked at it in 2 ways. It goes without saying that try as many as you can before you buy but what to try is always a question. I split the pistols in 1) muzzle heavy and 2)cg more closer to trigger heavy pistols. Chances are you will like either of them and no...

Re: New Air Pistol Pros and Cons
I currently don't shoot much air pistol in competition but shoot a lot at home. Since I am primarily a conventional pistol shooter, I want to be able to make my air pistol as similar as possible to my conventional pistol, within reason. I currently have both an LP10 and an LP50 and for the last sev...

Apologies luftskytter, reading my post now, i realise how garbled it sounds. Should refrain from replying on a blackberry. What i meant was, when i fill the cylinder with gas, usually when i am unscrewing the cylinder after the fill from the main co2 tank, there is some residual co2 in the filler va...

Thanks yana and luftskytter for you replies. I didnot have the issue anymore yet but still working on the issue. I had just filled the cylinder and noticed that screwing it completely was a bit difficult, someone mentioned that the seals get swollen due to cold. So maybe the fit was not enough and c...
