i have a nill grip with a 7 deg. offset. it took me 2 trips to the range (and my home shop) for dry fire practice , to get angles, alignment. when i liked it, i used an engraver to re stipple. being left eye dominant, and 80 isn deg. to the target.

There is a small scope in the buy,sell trade section. I have one and can attest to the quality and micro size here in the greater Boston area there are a lot of shooters using them on the line

There are compensators out there as an add on. Could this be considered a barrel extension? It's 1/2. To3/4" long.... Just a thought?

I'd love to hear just a hint of what Russ has to offer I have in my journal, pages of quotes from Bill Horton, RobStubbs,Steve Schwartz and Richard H to name a few. Due to my inconsistencies, some work better than others at d...

As said by so many here, the important thing to do is record the things you did well and not the negative! positive reinforcement is one of the best training techniques. I record scores etc, but have recorded much more valuable info from shot plans. glean things from posts here and use the endless k...

i use the iris to sharpen the sights (and red dot) i have an astigmatism so without the iris my red dot is like a w, or comet. Add this to head position and uniform pupil size. works for me, individual results may vary!

my favorite grip is the stock morini on my lp 1 no other morini fits as well but Nill, now thats a great grip ( for me) . I don't like other morini, rink, or vitarbo, but all grips usually need a bit of tweaking to be a good marriage to your hand. i take my time,dermal,sand and with an electric engr...

great accolades for the sport, and as said before a well written article. I have met Will years ago when I first bought an air pistol. he invited me to see the range and talk to him and some of the shooters. that visit really helped to ignite my interest in target shooting.

look down the line of specs and posts here. FWB,pardini. hammerli and marvel conversion, you probably need to try each if you can. grip angle is way different and trigger feel too.
