Sagara, I hate to say this but procedures vary from airport to airport and from one TSA agent to another. Normally the air pistol is treated as if it is a firearm (even though it is not classified as such by our ATF). It must be packed in your checked luggage in a hard case, and locked. You retain t...

If you are going to go to the expense for a fine piece of gear like the Steyr LP-10 why take the risk of damaging the Steyr, or worse damage to you if the cylinder is overcharged and bursts. The answer to me is a no brainer. Either get the proper 200 bar tank (best idea) or change the DIN valve and ...

To my knowledge there is not one. The FP 60 uses a complex mechanism to set the trigger. Why would you want to go heavier? It does take some getting used to, but it is best to train with the trigger toward mid-range and then decrease it as you get familiar with it.

GOVTMODEL Hammerli did not close its doors. They are now owned by the UMAREX Group, the same folks who own Walther. Parts and service in the USA are by Larry Carter. Hammerli is very much in business, just located in Ulm Germany and not in Switzerland. In fact they have a new free pistol out, it is ...

I exchanged emails with Scott Pilkington and he indicated that I would probably not notice the difference. Then again this old coot is not in Daryl Szarenski's class so that is likely true. :-)

An iris can help by 'stopping down' the vision and increasing the percieved depth of field. Unfortunately, some shooters try to use the iris to bring the target and front sight into simultaneous focus, instead of bringing the front sight into focus... The other advantage to the iris is to cut down ...

Hello Kent,
Correct the rake is adjustable on the FP 60, with the RINK grip it is still adjustable. In addition you also have all the adjustments of the RINK grip, which is superb.
