With responding to Kirtar, almost all competitors will easily shoot a 5 shot series in a couple of minutes. However, what the timer does is allow you to see exactly how much time you have left if you suffer from malfunctions or get chicken finger, blurred vision, or any other problem (such as adrena...

LOL. That's a funny anecdote. It would have been great to have been there at the time.

Most posts are directed at physical conditioning and sure - that's important. One post notes the weight issue, and given you have a new Toz35, and want to shoot FP that allows for lots of mods, therein lies the challenge - to severely reduce the overall weight starting with a cut down grip or replac...

I'm not sure what others do, but for precision and slow fire events such as air pistol and 50m pistol, raising the pistol above the target and lowering to the usual hold on target is consistent and contemporaneously done with inhaling on the lift, and exhaling slightly on lowering to the target. It ...

A ranking of 530/600 would be off the charts....!

Keep up the training.

I don't own a Pardini, but I can confidently answer your question about Tony's Post! It is all about preventing malfunctions. If a quick build up of lube around the action from rounds results in malfunctions, then you wouldn't use that ammo in matches right! Malfunctions can kill what could otherwis...

So does that mean that David's summary is very debatable, and that my GSP 2-stage trigger is not wishy/washy, variable etc - but can be seen as being most reliable and awesome because, in fact, it is the most popular, most enduring, and most well used semi-auto target pistol in the world!!?

Popeye

I now cringe when someone uses the trendy word "appropriate" when expressing a moral belief. If we wanted more of that we would join a Country Club rather than the local gun club! Let's focus on the sticky issue of ways of trapping pellets. Personally, I hadn't thought of cutting up my old...

I wouldn't blame CCI ammo on light strikes with a Toz35. The light strikes are probably caused by a weakened main spring or fouling in the block that prevents the firing pin from freely slamming forward. I worked through these issues last month, and got my Toz35 working fine after a thorough cleanin...

I prefer fully adjustable iron sights on a 9mm/.45. It seems like cheating with red dot sights! I must be an ISSF shooter at heart. Anyway, so when training with a 9mm, I like to practice, and test the accuracy of my reloads, at 25m, which seems to me like a reasonable distance, and I can get all th...

MODEL 14 Legend – models K-38 Target Masterpiece (pre model 14) 1946 to 1957. 14 (1957) Stamping of model number. 14-1 (1959) Change extractor rod from right hand to left hand thread. 14-2 (1961) Cylinder stop changed, delete trigger guard screw. 14-3 (1967) Relocation of rear sight leaf screw. 14-4...

Now that's a solution I like to your wife saying over chores before shooting - we say shooting before chores.

Now that sorts the taxing chores affecting shooting issue.

You have asked a practical question that I didn't think would ever get an airing on this forum! For shooters who want to compete, and also complete medium to heavy duty DIY(do it yourself) jobs, I think that good management is the key. I built a deck before Christmas in leisure time, and found that ...

I interpret the phrase "almost perfected sight alignment" as reflecting that a constant hold on the perfect sight alignment is impossible when standing with free arm extending, and that a shooter will fluidly be moving the pistol in and out of perfect sight alignment.. hence the use of &qu...

Russ says "buy them all", but I say TRY them all, and then pick one that's works for you. They are all different. My thoughts on your list are: TOZ - lots of parts about, grips that fit (you will need an after market grip-Morini or custom), and they cheap to buy and work very well, and are...

Funny you mention about a whole "round" in flight! A few years ago I pointed out the same mistake to a guy wearing a T-shirt (at work) with an image showing a cartridge moving in flight, and he looked at me blankly. It took awhile for him to understand the concept of cartridges and project...

Max - So which load of N310 has given you the BEST accuracy? I suspect "best" accuracy may be a minimum of about 1.1gr but I haven't tried to experiment in the range like you have done!

The recoil doesn't matter with Centrefire matches.

My goal is to afford the budget needed to pursue Olympic Stardom....or maybe at least to afford to look the part!

Better stick to my day job.

I had the same problem when I started using an LP-10. The method I got used to, given there is only a small space behind the barrel loading port, is to pick up/squeeze a pellet between thumb and index finger, and load over the top of the barrel, and use the nail of the index finger to ensure back of...

Good choice. I looked at a GSP on that website with an original grip, and that may be the one you got. The palm rest is too small, and is not the original one for that grip. I suggest you look around for a better quality grip (i.e. Rink Grip or other after market grip), while you are training..... H...
