I would appreciate opinions on the 2015 range of Tesro pistols including knowledge of any changes to design/manufacturing/performance from previous models.

I think you should "take one for the team" and buy one of each, then publish detailed reviews for the rest of us !

Obviously some patents lapsed!

This looks familiar, except it has a fancy disconnector!



It is kind of like a Hammerli 280, and a Walther GSP loved each other very much?

Edit: Disregard - that is not a disconnector - it is a hold open catch.
Also: 208th post - my second favourite Hammerli model!

Interesting trigger mechanism. I don't see any signs of a conventional disconnector, unless the piece at the rear (which I'm guessing is the sear) also serves as one.



The rear sight on the "Pro" model also has a pair of adjustments at the back that I've never seen before. It looks like you can independently move each half of the sight to adjust the width.

Nice looking piece of hardware.

There seems to be a small "pip" sticking up next to the rear of the hold-open catch. That could be it.

It's hard to tell, but I interpreted that as part of the hole for the spring seen below the lever.

Damned 2D pictures.

You see a hole, I see a bit of metal sticking up (which I'm guessing is part of a piece that runs right to the front, between the hold open catch and the trigger unit body - but that is probably an optical illusion).

The disconnector on the Tesro trigger is a internal transfer bar,
activated by the curved knob on the rear of the hammer.
As the slide pushs the hammer back and down the knob on
the hammer pushs down on a transfer bar to disengage.

Kind of like a GSP? ;)

Anyone ?

Hello,

The 2015 models are the -3 and the -3 Pro version.
The -3 has been available from 2007.
The -3 Pro has been available from 2012(?).

The Pro has a rear sight with an adjustable width and standard a mounted RDS(recoil damping system) with removable weights (option for the -3 model, earlier versions of the RGS had fixed weights).

I own, and have experience, with the -3 model with RDS. The weights in my RDS system were not glued and were therefor removable (with the Pro version they can be clamped with a set screw).

See earlier comments in: http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php ... ilit=tesro

The rear sight parts move simultaneously.
Maybe the trigger mechanism looks familiar but the mechanism has been designed clever and adjusting it is very easy (compared to an SP20).
Tesro has a manual (for the -1 version but basicly current) in their download section). http://www.tesro.de/?MSID=43&

Kind regards,

Frits

Tesro are not indistructable and malfunction free but I am still a happy Tesro shooter.

Thanks for the information Frits.
