Re: New Top Tier Air Pistol Recommendations

The only top tier air pistol that I know has a really solid US support option is Steyr, through the forum host, Pilkington. Buck Parsons, who used to work at Pilkington, has set up his own shop. Originally, he only worked on Crosman air guns, but he's branched out now: "We have also added repa...

Re: Free Pistols are still being made .. ?

The development around this is really strange. People always talk about how FP died when it was dropped from the Olympics. Really? That was relevant for 100 people globally that were competing for the 30 or so spots every four years. Why would that cause it to die out at the amateur level? For that...

Re: 32 ACP - "Flash in the Pan"?

"What I'd like to see is someone build a .32acp blowback conversion for a 1911...sort of like a Nelson or Marvel conversion. The magazines could be based on Nighthawk Custom's .30 super carry mags (hopefully someone starts copying them, since Nighthawk wants a ton of money for them)." Per...

Re: 32 ACP - "Flash in the Pan"?

I think it can be effective, but I think Pardini's approach is compromised. I'm guessing they just take their regular .32swl barrel blanks and run a .32acp chamber reamer through them, resulting in a larger than normal bore. What I'd like to see is someone build a .32acp blowback conversion for a 19...

Re: IZh35M going full-auto..

Has anybody tried hardchroming the gun to counter the softness of the metal? If so, how effective was it?

One stop shop!
Thanks! Might be a little too far, but maybe I can make it.
Any others?

That just seems to point out all gun shops...it doesn't seem to distinguish. Thanks though.

Stores selling ISSF 10m AP and pistol gear in Germany?

I might have the opportunity to visit Germany for work in the near future. Can anyone recommend any stores to visit that might sell ISSF 10m air pistols and/or other ISSF pistol accessories?
Especially looking for places around the Stuttgart, Mannheim, and/or Frankfurt areas.

Re: ISSF Ammunition Rules

9mm is not the most common ISSF centrefire cartridge though is it? Here someone shooting ISSF centrefire with a 9mm is pretty well exclusively someone abusing the system to get his hands on a weapon he wouldn't otherwise be able to have. I'm not interested in facilitating these scumbags, or having ...

Re: ISSF Ammunition Rules

Geez, a guy in a country that already has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the world wants to find a way to interpret the rules to discourage other would-be competitors from using the most common centerfire pistol cartridge on Earth...unbelievable.

Just get one of the other versions and add the 1911-style grips.

Re: Cross-dominant grips work better?

I'm *not* cross-dominant, but I use the 7-degree grips because I have short fingers. Plus, I like the benefit of having extra material that I can reduce...looks much better than having to build up the area with putty.

Need Izh-46M Trigger Info

I need some help from someone with an Izh-46M and a set of calipers. Would you please measure the dimensions of the track that the trigger slides on? I need to know the width and height of the track.

Re: Firearm theft insurance?

I have Gun and Trophy (https://www.gunandtrophy.com/). Fortunately, I haven't had to use it, but many folks on trapshooting and shotgun shooting forums with high dollar shotguns have had to make claims and have reported excellent results.
