Hello Elgas,

I think the attached link below may solve your problem. There you have Free Pistol, Air pistol, Standard/Sport Pistol and Centerfire Pistol targets scaled down to 3 mt. distance dry fire practice.

At outdoor ranges the problem seems to disapear inspite of SW 52 rear sights are still somehow narrow. As far as I'm con...

Hi, Putting weight on the pistol and better balancing it is not necessarely the same. Most people uses the weights to balance the gun than to increase its overall weight. If you want to improve the balance on your Morini FP you can pull back the muzzle break. On the other hand if you just want to ad...

Best Loads for .38 WC 148gr

Hi, Anyone care to share thougths on .38 WC reloading? I just started reloading this cal. and I've came up with a fine 3.8gr VV N340 load (148gr bullet). It grants me the 10 ring (25 mt.) with my 6'' Manurhin revolver. Should I use the same load on a S&W M52-2 Pistol? And what about the VV N310?...

Smith & Wesson M52 Pistol Users Manual

Hello,

I have just bought a SW Master 52-2 Pistol but I got it without Instructions or Users Manual. Would you please be so kind to tell me where I can get one? Is there any website where I can download it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Scott. Unlike my fellow posters I use RCBS Carbide Reloading Dies. I'm very satisfied with it as I'm getting very tight groups either with my Walther GSP than with my TOZ 49 Revolver. As for the Dillon and LEE dies I really don't know them enough to make a fair judgement. However I've never ea...

Hi dsingh. Not knowing how Don Nygord's TOZ lateral loading lever was, I've seen a similar system a long time ago. As far as I know its purpose is not to improve the balance but to get the loading easier as the shooter doesn't have to twist the wrist to operate the lever risking to change the grippi...

Hi Steve.

Don't even bother thinking about it. Go for the Feinwerkbau AW 93. The only problem will be your budget when buying another new .32 cal. pistol.

Good shooting,

I've tried both and without any doubts I've bought the Morini CM84E.

In short:
- Morini has a better balance, better trigger, better follow trough feeling and of course a better grip.

- Pardini is less expensive and you don't have to care about the trigger batteries.

Hello. I'm not sure if you are talking about the special German Frankonia TOZ 35 for-end. Rink Grips also makes a specific for-end to this pistol but is rather different from the one you descibed.

Hi Alex, I'm aware that some shooters use buffers on their GSP's .32, as for the 22's I've never known any case. Despite having a GSP Expert in both calibers I've never tried it too as this model cames with its own recoil-reducing system under the barrel. Buffering has 2 joint purposes. One is to sh...

Best PRIMERS for .32 WADCUTTER reloading

Hello.

Can someone please give some advice on the most suitable primers for .32 Wadcutter reloading?
How about Remington SP? Still I'm free to get almost every brand.

(I'm now using N310 Vihtavuori powder, H&N projectiles and Lapua shells)

Hi!

Why don't you try to get in touch with Rink? They have the widest grip parameters range of choice I've seen. Maybe they will solve your problem.
