Re: Steyr Evo10e - Dry Fire training for 25m Rapid Fire Pistol

An old option and very hard to find these days would be a old Walther GSP with the mechanical clockwork dry training trigger.
When cocked the trigger/hammer would ratchet 5 times at full trigger weight and movement.

Re: Score progression

Forget scores and set goals based on groups. ie. All shot's inside the 6 ring, then all shots in the black, nothing in the white etc. With improving groups your scores will follow. Its not the number of 10's or 9's that you shoot nor the perfect 10.9's that make a good score, it's the number of erro...

Re: How far back should the trigger be

trigger-contact.jpg The centre diagram (centre finger pad) is better for precision shooting, Free/Air and Sport. The right hand diagram ( trigger into joint) is better for heavier trigger/recoil type shooting. Ideally suited for double action revolvers. The one thing missing is that this is the tri...

Re: Removing stuck front sight, Steyr LP-10

Not sure how much heat they tried but a high wattage soldering iron directly on the screw until you see fume appear from the thread.
The loctite will usually turn to powder allowing it to be unscrewed.

I travelled internationally to many world cups with a morini and a pin spanner to remove the end cap. Never any problems, taking the end cap off stopped arguments in their tracks.

If you can find 5 fixed targets then have your own light system to clip on for timing training.

Re: Automatic discharge claimed in 10M

If the firearm had a uncommanded discharge then it needs to be removed from the line to be fixed as it is should be considered unsafe. Claim a break and cease to function and have it fixed off line. If the pellet left the barrel then it is considered a scored shot. The RO should not have allowed the...

Re: Compact LP400 with standard cylinder??

The LP400 is one model series back, with the LP500 the current model. Air tanks from the LP400 and 500 are the same and are interchangable. The longer tank will give you more shots and be a bit heavier (CofG further forward). It is legal to use either tank on your pistol and will not effect accuracy...
