Re: match pistol case suppliers

Thanks M1963, love the case in tobacco leather, way classier than the usual case and looks like it will fit my Izzy or future PCP upgrade. Mucho Gracias, just what I've been looking for.

Re: weight training effect on hold?

Just saw this thread and I'll be adjusting my plans. I've set up a 10M range and will shoot AP before going to the gym. And now that I can finally go back to the gym my plan is to focus on strength (low reps) and endurance (high reps) and with an emphasis on chinups, dips, pushups and cardio, basica...

Re: Morini air pistol bling

I came across a site called steelfx that sells colorcase-hardening patinas and there's a video showing a pistol being treated. I really like the look, kind of an antique looking shimmery patina, rainbow colored like gasoline in a puddle, made me think of rat rods where the cars show wear and rust bu...

Re: match pistol case suppliers

Thanks for the further suggestions, the Wesson Firearms logo was a concern for me as while I would like a cool looking case, it's too suggestive about what's inside the case.

match pistol case suppliers

Okay so I went back through a year or so of posts to avoid asking a question asked ad nauseum so here goes. Anyone know of a pistol case that will fit a 17" long Izzy? Kinda looks like diagonal placement may be necessary? Preferably FAA approved in case I move up to PCP competition grade, locka...

Re: Steyr EVO 10 - does barrel color matter?

Back again again, so ok black barrels rule except for Korean dudes. But what about the grip color? I know, it's mostly covered by the hand but what if while raising the gun a bit of the grip is exposed, would it be better if it was a dark color grip or a light color grip? And then there's my underwe...

Re: Steyr EVO 10 - does barrel color matter?

Thanks also MikeMargolis for confirmation as to barrel color not important. I have a quantity of Meisterkugeln en route for my new Izzy as Gamo match won't fire.

Re: Steyr EVO 10 - does barrel color matter?

Thanks all for the feedback, since barrel color is the only choice it kind of invites the question. Especially in a sport where a minor advantage might just contribute to a major outcome. And I've got a word for this, invented it myself, I call it a Kiesenhofer as in where there's something in a spo...

Steyr EVO 10 - does barrel color matter?

Hi all. I'm a forum newbie looking at the Steyr EVO10 and am seeking opinions on whether the barrel color, silver or black, matters or if one barrel color might have a slight benefit over the other. Seems to me that the black barrel would absorb light and the silver barrel might cause some reflectiv...
