Re: Shooting Glasses Option and Question

https://www.issf-sports.org/media/foto/2018/2391/12457/016_AP60.jpg Not sure if this is the guy Lafferty was talking about but this is from the World Cup last month in South Korea. The silver medalist didn’t wear any type of glasses or shooting frames at all. There were also two other guys in the Fi...

Re: Steyr Popularity in Air Pistol

Are the electronic triggers much different/superior to the mechanical triggers? I have owned both Morini and Steyr electronic trigger air pistols, I'm now back to Steyr mechanical. I also had a Pardini SP electronic too, but the less said about that the better, back to mechanical there too! I didn'...

Oh okay. Thanks Dave!

Re: Steyr Popularity in Air Pistol

I would still pay the $200-300 more for the electronic. After spending some time with the Oz Steyr distributor recently I was very impressed...and $200 is not much to future proof yourself for the time when all triggers may be electronic.

Re: Steyr Popularity in Air Pistol

Thanks for the replies. Are the electronic triggers much different/superior to the mechanical triggers? Also, how much do people tweak their pistol grip?. 1) No, not really.

Steyr Popularity in Air Pistol

Hey everyone, Anyone know why Steyr, and to some extent, Morini, are so dominant in terms of popularity for 10m air pistols? Obviously, they are fantastic pistols, but just wondering why you don’t see as many FWB, Pardini, or Walthers. Is it that recent world class shooters have won with Steyr and M...
