Ok, so if I understand correctly Spencer's "on the rise" would require minimum rear sight adjustment and Bill Horton's stopping at the centre requires you to mantain alignment on the black and that is exactly where my problem seems to be. I appear to have inconstant vertical alignment and ...

Is there a last word regarding where to hold in the RF half of CF ? I am just starting out and using a S&W Model 14 whose sights disappear in the black of an RF target. I use a 6'0clock hold for the slow part and I am finding difficulty making out the front sight vertical alignment if I aim in t...

If you take away the projectile, you dont have a gun;
You have a half arsed idea best suited as an excuse to take away more guns.

Just an afterthought..... I have found that under some lighting conditions, matt black sights disappear into the target, when holding in the black as in the Duelling phase of CF; An edge shine on the sights improves overall sight picture contrast. Certainly quicker to acquire, at least in my own ver...

As I said...uncomfirmed.
However I definitly remember this issue being brought up on this forum sometime ago, but I cannot locate it, so it has raised some concern.

This is an abomination; Its the thin edge.

Does anybody know of some simple CF pc based trainer I can download ?
I just want to practice the 3-7 second cycle while dryfiring at a target on the correct screen.
I have tried http://herrewijnen.homedns.org/targetshooting/ but the CF version has 5 small turning targets RF fashion.

Are copper "washed" ( not jacketed) bullets ISSF legal for CF pistol ?
I am referring to H&N plated and plastic coated bullets.
I have heard unconfirmed reports that some overzealous officials have somtimes raised an issue before the odd match.

Good shooting !

Yes, the PP is of course not suitable for target work; I pointed out this example just to illustrate the accuracy potential of the cartridge only. Speaking of 32 ACP guns, I believe Benelli made a version of their Model 76 in this caliber. They certainly had a target version of this inertia locked p...

Wow ! is this thread still alive ? Its still kicking around in my brain at least. Since last time we discussed the potential of .32 ACP for CF I did some tests on some garden variety 32 pocket pistols. True some fired blunderbuss groups, but these were the ones with a barrel NOT ridgidly fixed to th...

Should be a good idea to ask him first.
Have you a contact email please ?
Thanks!

Hmm, well for the moment I'll just train dry with the gun as adjusted and see if I can control raising the shooting arm with no AD while holding such a reduced second stage.

In the meantime I'll ask around for FAS parts, maybe dominoguns.com might help.

Part number 315 ?

Tycho might be referring to the wire spring that has one end resting on the rear of the first stage adjustment allen bolt.

Does anybody know where to get the 1000 gm, 603 version ?

I had one more go at the FAS 603 trigger and tried to take it down from its intended 1360 to 1000 gm. With the first and second stages adjusted for lightest , the best I could get was a trigger break at circa 1140 gm. The first stage smooths into the "click" at 1080 grams; A further pull o...

Just out of curiousity, is an 80 to 100 gm diff. between first and second stage normally considered a tad too close for comfort ? I can see where this setting might help me in the slow fire stage, but might also earn me a red face during duelling. So far, in the comfort of home, I can easily take up...

Thanks for all your help guys. Now I am begining to understand this pistol a little better. I am a bit concerned about the 1070 gm or so first stage though. This leaves me less than 100 gm for a trigger break at circa 1156. I think its a quick way to drill a few holes in the table or plow the lawn. ...

Felt a little more adventurous with your comments; For a start, the trigger felt like one continuous pull, with no "wall"...you just pull ( no creep or grinds, very smooth ) and then the shot breaks unannounced. Dont know, but this might even be good for a surprise break. Turning the allen...

I just got my hands on a FAS 603 in nice condition. I have to admit that though I have shot for many years and thats with many different sort of handguns, this is probably the first with a trigger thats not simple single stage. So before I mess things up I thought I will ask, just why would anybody ...
