Attending our ISSF National Champs, I once elected to shoot Men's 25m Pistol using my AW93 rather than Centrefire which I normally would have done, being unable to attend the day set aside for CF. The problem was that my muscle-memory for this event was trained for my .32 FAS603 trigger NOT the trig...

Here are some nice examples which were posted on the pistol forum a couple of years ago (including my own efforts). Apart from target size, the specifications for an AR range are the same as an AP range.

If the price is good and (as David M mentioned) you have medium to large hands, it's a great gun. The AW93 was the first pistol I ever owned and has been the most reliable thing in my life since I purchased mine in 2002. I've only had around five malfunctions (all ammo related) out of tens of thousa...

This stuff sounds great. I have a grip that I want to bulk-out and Sugru looks like it could be ideal. The only thing I can't work out (and Sugru's website isn't much help here) is the weight to volume ratio. How large (in terms of volume) is a 5 gram pack? Would the 8 x 5 gram packs (totalling 40 g...

My bet is that Chiappa will essentially simply take over the production of the FAS SP607 without changing the design to any great extent (and a 607 is of course what is shown in the video). They might want to engineer some kind of simple safety catch to keep officialdom happy in the United States. T...

FAS to be manufactured by Chiappa!
Quite by chance I found this video which was posted on YouTube recently. The indication is that Chiappa appear to have purchased the manufacturing rights to FAS pistols. Hopefully this will also mean better distribution. My fingers are crossed that they can pull this off and make it a commercial and...

What they keep telling people is that there is no need for a new Morini AP, as they claim to be shipping them by the palletload to China. Funny enough, almost no Chinese international level shooters are using Morinis... . From what I have heard (speaking to a Chinese friend), they are selling very ...

I've noticed that FAS seems to have changed the material they use for their buffer pads. The older type was coloured red and these would age and crumble very quickly. The last pair of FAS603 buffer pads I purchased from Potters were made of a light-green material and these have been much more durabl...

If anyone is curious, I just noticed that Baikal is now listing the MP-438 on their web page. I don't believe they were 6 months ago when the thread was last active. Now if someone in the USA will start carrying it! As much as I wish it were otherwise, its presence on the Baikal website is no indic...

Has anyone used the Gammo Bone Collector trap? Will it accept standard air pistol targets? I bought one of those years ago before I really understood what I was doing with the intention of using it outdoors. Those Gamo ones are well made and very good value for money but alas they don't fit standar...

Hi - which adjustment method did you find best? Changing the first and second stage springs etc or adjusting the trigger screw - as per David M's instructions? The spring-swap method which to be honest I wasn't expecting. I had become so accustomed to a two-stage trigger that I believed that just h...

Is there a preferred or extremely common trigger feel that dominates? Kind of like how you could shoot for center bull but obviously sub-six or sub-sub-six is wildly more popular and successful. Right now I'm shooting a single stage, more or less, with a bit of overtravel on my IZH. I'm wondering i...

The second stage travel screw (on top of the trigger assy when removed from the frame) has a small amount of adjustment which is limited by the amount of micro switch spring/lever movement. Limited between 1/4 and 3/4 turn. The older circuit (15v battery) the switch had more available movement. As ...

The Morini looks like a very nice pistol. Is the battery adapter available? Thanks again. Bob Yes - but they are not necessary. You can take an old Varta 15v battery (every 84e comes with one), tear off the metal wrap and re-pack the tube with 10 button cells (I bought 50 for $5). At a pinch, you d...

I have a FAS603 in .32 where the magazine lips are also quite sharp and this makes them difficult to load. I use one of those rubber thimbles which are used for counting banknotes or slips of paper.
