Re: Why is Pardini K12 unpopular
I can’t speak for its overall unpopularity but the reason I did not get one was because I found it to be too loud compared to the other options I had access to. I know an air pistol being too loud might sound a little ludicrous but I was specifically looking for a quieter setup.

Re: IZH 46M
As someone who was on the hunt for a reasonably priced IZH 46M, I can say it’s kinda hard to get hold of one these days. There’s always a couple of them listed on the big auction site but the asking prices tend to be bloated, I’m talking upwards of $1000. IMHO, you’re better off getting something li...

Re: Do i NEED to use a blinder?
I’m cross eye dominant and found out that I tend to shoot better with a blinder on my dominant eye. I haven’t noticed any huge leap in scores but my eyes feel less stressed after a shooting session with the blinder on vs. without.

Re: Shaking limbs loose before shooting?
Yes! I’ve always noticed that ‘warming up’ with a few stretches makes it easier for me to get into the groove easily. I feel more relaxed with my stance and hold if I limber up a little. But the real issues start after 3 to 4 rounds I start shaking and things take a turn for the worse!

Re: Hammerli AP20 Pro Problem?
The rattle when you shake it is the striker. It is free when not cocked.The striker spring is slightly shorter than the tunnel which allows a little bit of free play for the striker to move. My Hammerli 480, and my Steyrs can make that noise when tilted back and forth. I think you nailed it regardi...

Re: Hammerli AP20 Pro Problem?
I have purchased a brand new Hammerli AP20 Pro a couple of days ago. I noticed this morning that the pistol makes a rattling noise when it is moved around. It sounds like a loose screw banging around in the internals. The noise goes away when the pistol is cocked but it always comes back very notic...

Re: Hammerli AP20 Pro Problem?
Please contact the dealer. I had an AP 20 Pro for close to 3 years and this did not happen. If you want more statistics, the team I help coach has twenty eight AP20's, and none of them have ever done this (that anyone has noticed). The only major differences between the regular and the Pro versions...
