Re: Training for 25 m CFP with .22 lr or air pistol

Didn't think to dry fire 22 lr, I use my centerfire for that. Most of my mates are using Walther GSP in 22lr for training and put the conversion for .32 in contest. I'm just thinking if is a smart acquisition ( .22 lr revolver) or should I stick with only dry fire and the little amount of live pract...

Training for 25 m CFP with .22 lr or air pistol

I'm training alone, able to reach a shooting range once a week and shoot about 60 fires/ practice. Allready having a dry fire routine ( 3 - 4 times/week)...

Thank you all for your reply! Being a beginner I 'll put more efforts on training focusing more on my improvement than upgrading or changing the gun. SW don't look very heavy to me but I think I'll have to find an ISSF grip instead of factory one I have. I saw and fired Toz in .32 ,a really marvelou...

Regarding SW 14, it's mandatory for a beginner to use an anatomic grip ori is it fine to use factory grip?
About shooting with factory grip I saw some pictures with thumb rest on frame near cylinder, on the latch, is it a good technique?
Thanks!

Telling me SW it's a great gun, I understand is much above my capabilities!
So , instead spending money for a new gun I'll put them in training .
P.S. My revolver is SW 14 Masterpiece Single Action.

Hello everyone, since it's my first post there!
A dumb question, if I'm allowed :
- I have a Smith Wesson Masterpiece SA .38 spl and a Colt Python .357mag., as a new shooter in CFP should I trust Colt, SW, or neither of them and look for a semiautomatic?

Best regards.
