Re: Which cities in the United States offer good training for Olympic Air Pistol shooting?
If mental training - staying calm and focused while under stress - is part of your agenda, I suggest Boston. Nothing to do with a pistol, driving a car

Re: Why is Pardini K12 unpopular
I can't explain it other than to observe that it's been the case for 30 or more years, long before the K12 was introduced.

Re: For you point buying morons....
You don’t buy points. You lose the points you shoot by buying unsuitable equipment. You cannot improve with gear that does not shoot on call. If the war calls for F35s, showing up with a biplane doesn’t give you the moral high ground. It's a crappy analogy, but I'll play along. Equipment suitable f...

Re: Cheap pellets problem K12
Someday, maybe when I'm a grownup, I'll understand the reasoning behind a recoil absorber in an air pistol.

Re: Cheap pellets problem K12
If one kind of pellets leaves more lead residue than another, I'm guessing the brand of pellet has much less effect than their diameter.

Re: SAM10 O-Rings
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but.... Cesare was nothing short of a genius (comparable to Nikola Tesla?) when it came to designing exceptional, innovative pistols. On the more mundane subjects of manufacture, parts supply, unit-to-unit consistency, etc., he was more like Inspector Clouseau. Little wond...

Fear not, our Moderator Spencer will severely chastise them by removing any coverage of the event. Nah! Not me! I can appreciate well played banjo music, but not convinced that is suitable as background to a competition. Season's greetings to all. Apparently somebody doesn't like beer, because any ...

I think the mention of "Moonshine" will trigger expungement of the entire thread and severe punishment for all who so much as peek at it.

"...instantly I could call that P8X has much better trigger." No, you can't. All you can really say is that you like the P8X trigger better. Other than the fact that it doesn't have the dashing good looks and other assorted farkles of the 2 free pistols you've looked at, why don't you save...

Re: .22 Ammo For Free Pistols That Won't Stick in Chamber?
"RWS Target Rifle or Target Pistol? I assume Target Pistol. Unfortunately, I think RWS has stopped importing both into the US. I know Neal Stepp no longer sells either."
I've only ever used the original "Target" which then became "Target Rifle."

Re: .22 Ammo For Free Pistols That Won't Stick in Chamber?
Disclaimer: I've never handled, let alone owned, a CM84. That said, in a number of Pardini standard pistols, free pistol and TOZ35s, RWS Target has been trouble-free chambering and extracting. It was Don Nygord's recommendation, and I took it.

Re: shooing high/right even after I spot my shots.
1. Why do you change your grip between targets? That seems a recipe for otherwise unexplainable misses.
2. Gaze at this image:
