Simply drop in, with 2 mm screw.
Pardini is higher than original one.
Awesome info, may I ask which rear sight unit:

Rear sight from the Free Pistol or Standard Pistol?

Thank you

Re: Do We Need Separate Men's and Women's Events

I've been saying this for a long time. If the Olympics did away with gender segregation, there would be more room for different shooting events that have been retired over the years such as double trap, running game target, etc. If the events are combined, you would find that some countries and a l...

Re: Pardin SP 22 VS SP Rapid Fire

Hi Brad, It has been suggested that the RF model has some free bore ahead of the chamber, i.e. the bullet does not immediately engage the rifling until it has travelled a (very) short distance down the barrel. This allows some of the propelling gas to escape past the bullet and to therefore yield a...

Pardin SP 22 VS SP Rapid Fire

Hi All,

Just wondering if its worth sped=nding the extra money buying the Pardini Rapid Fire over the standard SP New?

Only Shoot Standard Pistol and Rapid Fire, and most people I know use the SP 22 New for Rapid Fire match.

Any feedback or advise would be appreciated

Cheers

Re: GSP500

i cannot understand how the prices are so high when the underline base is the SP20. R&D is certainly minimized. because Australia is such a small market, the importers have us over a barrel and the gun shops don't care about ISSF too much. Not enough business to worry about. They focus more on ...

Re: GSP500

Just had pricing confirmed for Australia on the GSP 500 - .22LR will cost $3995AUD and the .32 S&W is $4495AUD

So based on these prices, looks like I will be buying a couple Pardini pistols instead and put the difference into a Air Pistol upgrade!

Just order through Kathy AT Wilsons Target Arms... Frontier don't sell direct to public... There seems to be two importers of Walther pistols into Australia - one a large dealer in Qld and the other the original importer based in South Australia. Who do you think will be best to order one from? [/qu...

Re: Morini Air Piatol question - trigger

If the person selling you something tells you to take a lesser cost option, I would heed that advise, be it a steak or air pistol. Their usual incentive is to up sell, unless they think the customer will be disappointed. Does the 200 have some better technology, other than being a new model that ma...

I am a firm believer that this competition should be strictly for revolvers. What a load of rubbish!!! Revolver or Semi Auto, it does not matter. Its the person behind the firearm that shoots the scores, a top shooter uses what is most comfortable to them. To say that CFP should be revolver only el...

I have to say this - "Who Cares" I personally dont care what gun someone uses to win a gold medal, it certainly doesn't mean much to the rest of us. Most top shooters will shoot the same scores with a variety of guns given enough time to learn about each!!! A gun does not win the gold, its...

Lapua Pistol King groups much better than the other brands mentioned in my 50m pistol.

Best advise is to try 100 of each brand avilable and make your own decision!

Best advice is to test many different brands in your pistol, as I found Eley Sport has a much smaller group than the Eley Tenex batch that was tested with my free pistol.

Sometimes you dont even need to spend a lot to get small tight groups too!!!
