I'm looking to try shooting 10M at my club, regardless of how that turns out, I will still shoot at home.
Currently have a IZH 46M, Pardini K58 and Aeron B98 for at home target and plinking but would like to now get a pcp single shot...
Any recommendations? I'm 5'2" and of athletic build but would a shorter/ultra light pistol provide an advantage or does the shorter sighting radius make a difference?
Regards,
Tony

Take it all with a pinch of salt but...
I think if you dont have any issues with holding 1kg up for the requisite period, stick with a 'full size' one. As I see it, the additional weight helps keep the twitchiness down, and there is increased ability to modify the balance to how you like it due to the greater barrel length (and that also helps keep the twitchiness under control).
Good technique should mean that the shorter sight radius on a light gun makes little difference, at 10m especially. Possibly more of an issue for 50m pistol, but thats a different thing I couldn't coment on.
One disadvantage is the little guns user more gas - the shorter barrel doesnt give the pellet so much time to be accelerated before its gone, so the gas charge behind it needs to be larger for the same velocity. They sometimes come with smaller cylinders so they need refilling noticeably more frequently. Not a major issue but something to consider. And the extra gas makes them noisier.
HTH a bit
