I tried both. Weightlifting and shooting shoes are similar in the sense that their soles are not squishy. I eventually decided I like the flat soles over the raised heels. But both worked well. It's very much a preference thing.

I'd really like to see the statistics on the "additional point of failure" thing. For one I think it's just not true. Go read some threads about issues people have with mechanical trigger pistols and notice how often people talk about the "sear" or "sear engagement" the...

I know the Evo 10 is a bit front heavy.

I suspect that compared to an LP2 most top of the line long models will feel front heavy. The Pardini the most, the Morini probably the least.

I'm not sure I understand the issue? When just removing the grip using the screw on the side is pretty consistent.

Just be careful to not buy the grip. I always get the twitches when someone buys a gun because "it fit like a glove". Grips are meant to be adjusted and molded to you which can be done with any brand. Buying a gun off the grip is like trying a couple of peoples glasses and then buying the ...

I have a CM200EI with the gyro feature (two actually... for reasons) and don't find it very useful. The way it is currently exposed it just gives you a fairly coarse "shakiness" metric without any directional information. Apart from that the Morini is great and I never had issues with the ...

Along with the question about beginners mind…would it be beneficial to stop worrying about where the shots group, to start? And worry more about the grouping, to perfect the hold? That would be very beneficial. It just takes a while for beginners to accept that it seems. Even on blank targets they ...

The P8X has probably the highest "range" but all of them remain pretty steep with the factory grips (Steyr probably the least). The adjustments are really more for fine tuning than for fundamentally changing the position. The "correct" thing to do is to customize the grip itself ...

Since it has a dry fire switch close it fully.

I would have thought that an increase in interest in the sport after the Olympics would have made more guns available on the secondary market Wouldn't you expect the exact opposite? As in the people already in the sport selling gear doesn't suddenly increase. But the demand from new people would em...

This strikes me as a bit of a rigged vote. Given that RFP is currently an Olympic event, a lot of the male ISSF members probably have a significant training, equipment & time investment in RFP. In terms of Olympic pistol shooters, the only other men would be air pistol competitors, who may not ...

I do believe that it makes the sport more accessible to those who have regular ranges to them in the U.S. I am sure that internationally this is not going to probably go over well I'm not sure if by "internationally" you mean in other countries or in international competitions (as in top ...

Amusingly you could score the qualification hit/miss too and would barely get a difference at the top level. Since they effectively only shoot tens and nines anyway. However if that is how it was defined it would be super frustrating to beginners since they'd only score once every 10 shots or so. Wh...

is fun to do but it's dull for an audience to watch. And? Shooting has failed to become a mainstream viewer sport for over 100 years of being in the Olympics. It has always been a participation sport more than a viewer sport. I hate it when rules are made for hypothetical viewers against the wishes...

If you already tried multiple lights then that's maybe not the problem. Before buying anything I'd try it during the day in a naturally lit room. It it still doesn't work then It's probably not a light issue.

I'd check if the two indicated contacts are connected with a continuity tester on a multimeter. They should be. If they are not the problem is inside the trigger mechanism/contact. Otherwise I'd check the corresponding pins in the connector, cable etc. If it is in the trigger as an experiment I'd in...

By this point I'd almost bet there is some issue with the trigger contact. There is something in there that prevents it from closing or the connector on the pistol side is bad. The trigger contact is closed by default and is opened when pressing the trigger. If it isn't closed during startup you get...

Try some other lamps. Or during the day just to rule that lamp out. I have seen it have issues with specific (often LED) lamps due to strobing that is not visible to the eye.

Isn't the whole point of CO2 that it's partially liquid in the tank and the actual pressure of the remaining gas is fairly constant? And it therefore requiring an entirely different (simpler) reduction valve system?

I usually start them on blank targets and have them do so at the beginning of each training session. But you can't exactly do the "you must meditate in the monastery for a year"-thing if you want them to also stay interested.
