Is it advisable to use a brass bristles cleaning rod for every-day regular leaning of a free pistol barrel?

Or should I use the nylon one and use the brass only when lead build-up is greater?

Thank You.

Thank You v76

I went to the range on Monday. Tested all the ammo I mentioned before. The best were Eley Match and Topshot. But Eley Macth had a better grouping. These made a group with 10 rounds within the center 10 ring. The other ammo made goups a bit more scathered, even making nines. One thing is for sure, th...

I will test that one too (had forgotten about it), but in Portugal the CCI standard velocity in paper box is 4,5€ a box (and not always avaliable), the Topshot (sold out and probably no longer avaliable in Portugal) and the Federal are currently at 3,5€. I do like the CCI and even bought a 5000 roun...

I've noticed that the Topshot fits the barrel tightly needing a gentle push to fit properly. The extraction starts to fail close to 60 or 70 rounds, but only ocasionaly, rarely failing two rounds in a row. But the Federal Champion (standard velocity solid) fits loosely, entering without any aid. I'm...

One more question. Should the ammunition fit tightly or lossely on the chamber?

I mean what is preferable? Lossely or tightly?

Thank You,

Thanks Gwhite. I was some times having the same problem with bad extraction. I used a cleaning rod to remove re casing, but your idea seems more practical. I will try the vice and the sand bags to try and select a ammo good enough for training and another for matches. Currently I'm using Topshot sol...

My question regarding clamping the barrel, is that clamping the barrel might not disturb the pistols natural barrel vibration, and therefore increase the grouping size?

Has anyone got any tips about testing ammunition on a Pardinin PGP 75 free pistol?

I was planning to use a vice to hold the pistol, but were should I clamp it?
I don't want to clamp it in the barrel, I was thinking in the wooden part in front of the trigger guard.

What do you sugest?

But since you brought up Switzerland, let me make a point. But first my condolences to my Swiss friends and those involved in this tragedy. The point is, Switzerland is every anti-gunners worst nightmare on the discussion of "assualt rifles" Every male in the country of military age is re...

Well... today I went to the shooting range the "coach" that the Portuguese Shooting Federation that has done some adjustments to my Pardini K10 and to my Pardini PGP 75 was there overseeing some novice shooters. I came prepared with some epoxy based compound and thought that It would be ne...

Thanks jabberwo!

I will read the info you've provided and keep you up to date on my attempts.

Thank You,

Hello, I'm trying to better adjust my Pardini PGP 75 grip to my hand. But I'm having trouble achieving a consistent grip. Sometime my thumb is a bit more forward that on other times. This also happens with my 3rd, 4th and 5th finger that do not always stay aligned with the barrel, pulling a bit to t...

Ok I will try 15 second holds with a 10 seconds rest between holds.

My 40 second hold is part of a holding training. I lift the gun to target height, using a dot on the wall just 30 cm away, and try to dry fire while aligning the sights in the first 7 to 10 seconds. The remaining time until the 40 seconds I just try to keep the sights aligned and level with the dot....

I'm refering to 10 meter Air Pistol. I'm 31 years old, I train about 2 to 3 times a week, but I have been trying to do dry fire every day for 10 minutes with 40 second holds and 20 seconds rest. My average is 530 with a top score of 540 in a official match. I have started with a Pardini K10 since Ju...

Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble at maintaining endurance through out the match. The first series are roughly grouped together with the occasional flyer, but as I progress along the match the remaining series tend to be scattered... I believe this can be attributed to match stress or bat time mana...
