Impact of holding exercises in the match
hi All - During training, I generally perform holding exercises for 40-45mins (25sec on, 30 sec off..5holds then rest 1 minute etc ). Once the exercises are done, dry firing and live firing starts. There is barely a 5-10 min gap between holding and dry/live. So my hand is very steady in training and...

Re: Steyr LP50 trigger
Not sure where I read it, but I think Stage 2 is set at 500g..cant go below. If you find any solution, please let me know. I would like to set a 1000g trigger with 2nd stage as 200g or so. Brings to closer to Walther SSP :-)

I was wondering what would be a good time to start training for olympic style rapid fire event (5 targets...8sec, 6 sec, 4 sec). Should I be able to attain a particular score in Standard Pistol before I mo...

Comparison between trigger of LP50C and Walther SSP
hi, I am currently using the Walther SSP for rapid fire practice on the range - 2-3 times a week. The trigger is a 2 stage trigger. I was looking at an air pistol so I can practice rapid fire at home - both live fire and dry-fire. Steyr LP50 compact version seems to be a good option. Does anyone kno...

Re: Walter SSP jamming
Many thanks for the quick response. The jamming happens while feeding the next bullet in the chamber. The empty shell of the previous bullet has no issues in ejecting.
Let me check the cleaning option, and also if other shooters have the same issue with the SSP.

Walter SSP jamming
I just started training for 25m rapid fire using a Walter SSP. After a few rounds, the pistol starts jamming frequently during the timed 5-shot event. I was told that the gun is jamming because of shaky/trembling hold, but I didn't buy it. Anyone else faced the same issue? My hand needs strengthenin...
