Hello everyone. I am new to the Olympic style shooting. What is a good store to buy air pistols and accessories? I am looking for a FW P8X. Thanks.

Champion's Choice is the big one. There's also Pyramid Air. I'm expecting a Morini from them this weekend.

Thank you for the information. I've noticed that the inventory in the US is low, and some products are on backorder. Is it possible to purchase an air pistol and accessories from an international store outside of the USA? If so, do you have any recommendations?
I appreciate your help with this newbie in the sport.

If you have problems with a purchase do you want to ship the pistol to Europe, or to- as an example- Tennessee? Local dealers may frown on repairs for international purchases. Why? The margin for purchases is very slim. They are not making any money helping you with that 'cheap' international purchase.

Neal Stepp / ISS has been excellent in the past with service and prices. He is old school, so call rather than email:

That is a good point.

What's wrong with Tennessee? Our official state gun is the M82 Barrett.

I think all the publicity from the Olympics that 10M pistol recieved caught the industry off guard.

I have bought all my Olympic pistols and everything else from Neal Stepp at ISS in Fort Worth since I started competitive shooting in college in 1989. He is great to deal with and can pretty much get anything from what I can tell.
