Re: Recommendation for a cross-trainer air pistol

One of the best 'training' air pistol is the FAS 6004 - successor to the legendary FAS 604. Not only is the 6004 great to learn trigger control, sight alignment, follow through etc with, it is also very attractively priced.

Patro M2 ?

Hi all, I've just acquired two x Patro M2s - one in stainless steel, and the other blued finish. I know they have a history of unreliability but I don't care, I just wanted one, or two. The blued one has an early serial number of 160, and the s/s one 1432. The slides are slightly different, inasmuch...

Re: Rapid Shot UK LAW

If you are in mainland UK, you will not be allowed to own/use a cartridge handgun - handguns were banned as a result of the Dumblane school shooting many years ago. Some of the "isles" - Wight, Man still allow handguns as the ban did not cover them. Some pistol shooters I know do have a fi...

Re: Is it likely that a .32 S&W long wadcutter can be reloaded on a progressive?

I made a set of bars with drilled holes for my RL550, I don't think they give better accuracy than the adjustable bar but I can go directly to the load I used before. There was a guy down here in NSW in Oz who made a powder bar for the Dillon 550/650 which used aluminium replaceable inserts which y...

Re: Questionable Sales Tactic

Place your right hand over your heart and avow, "This is the American Way." Then lower your price, so that he must drop his. Immediately pull your ad, so he must sell at that low price. After it sells, put your ad back with a higher price than originally to make up for your time. If/when ...

Re: ISSF pistol shooting at risk in Canada?

Unfortunately for us in Australia, similar moves may be afoot. Overheard on ABC Radio on Friday, the tail-end of a conversation with a Labour politician saying he wanted to stop handgun imports and introduce similar measures as Canada's ! Hopefully, his is the only lone voice in the wilderness, but ...

ISSF pistol shooting at risk in Canada?

Trudeau - “What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada,” he said. “In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10869291/Canadas-Trudeau-announces-plan-national-freeze-handguns....

The 6007 trigger/hammer box is completely different from the 602. You don't have to do anything like what JamesH suggested.

Re: GSP500

I’ve been shooting a GSP Expert for a couple years now. Hands down the most reliable 22 I’ve ever owned. If that reliability is carried to the new GSP 500 it’s got to be worth consideration. On another note, what’s the status of the Benelli 90 in Europe? Are they still being made? Seems to have dri...
