... first pistol of my own was a FAS 604...After that I had an Air Match 600... Prefer the modern pistols just for the ease of use if nothing else, it suits my laziness! I still shoot my 604 and 600. Your comment about laziness is easy to relate to these days ;-). The Airmatch does require some eff...

...I have tried emailing them but no response?...Are they still in business? After two years, I gave up waiting for TOZ grips ordered from Marschal. Although his website is still up, after our initial phone conversation and email correspondence, I've received no further communication from Dennis. D...

Just a wild idea... Why don't you take off the grips and stick it through the dishwasher? Blow it dry with a 90 psi air hose and lubricate afterwards... Why not just pee on it, that will do about the same job. We're talking about machinery here, not ceramics and biodegradable waste. Dishwasher comp...

The "flecks" are unburned or carbonized grains of powder, not lead.

Why would you think that using synthetic engine oil in your pistol would make your pistol last longer?... Technically, synthetic has better film strength to keep high-load parts from wearing and galling. It's splitting hairs, of course, YMMV. ;-) I prefer synthetic because it is very slippery stuff...

... who claimed he dunked his pistol in Mobil 1 and hung it on a dowel for a day or 2 to drain then wiped it down to dry the external surfaces. Struck me as beyond odd, but he swore by it. "Odd" works very well. Over the years I've dunked my plinkers and match handguns in Mobil-1, Castrol...

> Any suggestions on using airguns for Bullseye practice? If the price won't spoil your day, consider the FAS 604. It's close to the size of a bullseye cartridge pistol and handles about the same. Airguns of Arizona offers the 604 with ambi or match grip. http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/FAS.htm I ca...

The FWB65 and 80 won a lot of medals in their day. In the hands of a good shooter they are still competitive. Their 65 would do everything the later model 80 could do. The 65 is a basic shooter while the 80 is pimped with marketing doo-dahs. I'd opt for the 65 any day. Both of the FWBs are large and...

... an ultrasonic cleaner... am concerned about cleaning solutions....Kate Try for an ultrasonic as close to 64K cycles per second as possible--the commercial grade machine. Get a tank long enough to completely submerge the parts you intend to maintain. I use straight Simple Green household cleaner...

peterz wrote:... Is there any significant advantage to using a belt loop that would make it worth my while to make the change?

Only if it improves your scores. We are not clones, "proper" for one does not make it a rule for another.

I would guess that you could simply drill a hole in the clip on glasses and then use some black nail polish to darken the area around it..... Your shooting stance should not be determined by your line of sight through a fixed hole in eyeware. The natural posture of your body determines your stance ...

Would non-fuzzy plastic sights be legal, or would they melt?

I had the plastic ones on a GAMO Compact AP. The rear sight melted when I tried to blacken it by smoking.

What were you smoking?

...I can see Zoned's point of view, he doesn't like it, no matter how I asked him he wouldn't come up with any specifics as to the deficiencies. .... I didn't because I thought my original posting was clear enough: "For me, the deal killer was the ridiculous number of parts in the thing. As we...

... 1. Read every word that Richard H has written , and take it as the gospel truth. 2. Do NOT listen to B.S. from non SSP owners. and 3. Check the engineereing credentials of anyone that trys to tell you that the SSP is made like a Mattell toy........ Got something against free speech, there, dead...

...Have you even owned one? or at least used one? Yes, I've used one and had it apart. Therefore the reason why I think it appears to be made by Mattel. .. I still Have a Walther FP too that works great.... I've read your posts. That turkey's sour reputation would be difficult to defend. If/when yo...

... I don't agree with your reasoning because it is simply flawed. Using your logic we'd have nothing new and everyone would make the same thing, seems pretty boring to me. Now if you can actually point to parts that actually are failing you might have something. My reasoning is that I opt not to p...

....The only extra parts on a SSP are to do with the damping system........ These drawings show that the Walther uses more parts than the Pardini to get the same job done. With the SSP, to their credit Walther attempted to make a pistol to suit standard and rapid requirements while offering ergonom...

Looking to get a pistol for International Standard Pistol..... would go with the latest technology like the SSP. But with the SSP am I inviting problems? Also thought about a Pardini SP20new or a FWB AW93..... Some say the SSP is too light weight. For me, the deal killer was the ridiculous number o...

All you need to see clearly are the four center rings of the target.

Long enough. I do not have to remove my glasses to use it.
