if i set my sight picture to be the front sight covering the entire bull with the bull sitting between my rear sight blades, things worked out ok. i am going to try experimenting with this more and see what happens. If I'm wrong, I apologize, but this sounds like you are looking for a precise sight...

funny that this shouled be talked about. i tried a center hold and it works well for me but there is only one problem, my front sight seed to be too small and i could not tell where it was in relation to the target. i switched to a wider front sight blade that was the same width as the bull and thin...

the cons of dry firing an air pistol?

i know how a real gun works but i never had the opportunity to detail strip an air pistol to see what makes it tick (nor do i really want to experiment with mine), so i ask........... with a pre-charged air pistol, what can be damaged by dry firing the pistol? do all of them work the same way? it wo...

i have the hill pump with the dry pack myself. i would rather have the pump over the scuba setup as it is easy to take anywhere and you do not have to worry about getting refiills for your tank. you cant take a scuba tank on an airplane unless it is empty. it is a workout getting it up past 200 bar ...

your thoughts?

while i was practicing tonite with my twinmaster match, i noticed i have a more difficult time holding the front sight steady. my air pistol is rather light compared to my walther gsp. it would seem that during dry fire practice, it is easier for me to hold my walthers front sight steady than it is ...

Walther GSP Ammo?

Can any GSP owners reccomend some good ammunition that works well with the pistol? I just purchased a used unit and I was wondering what is some good 22lr match grade ammo. Dynamit Noble comes to mind. Is there anything else I might want to try? I am not that familiar with match grade ammo brands so...
