Air Force One Trophy Pistol

[Bjacobs571]

I tried one in my local shop and the trigger guard is too small for me and has sharp edges which cut into my fingers. The trigger has a long creepy release. apart from that it looked really good.

I have one and I'm really quite impressed (if you can get one at the right price) The pistol is well finished, good bluing and good wood to metal fit.
The action is well machined from aluminium and matt blacked and the bolt works and seals well.
The rear sight is mostly made from high density plastic, it fits on the 11mm sight rail and is adjustable for elevation and windage (no clicks)
The trigger is single stage, just one long continuous gritty creep.
The grips a very basic ambidextrous , made of Beech wood.

Out of the box it won't win any competitions, however I think it has a lot of potential. A good polish up of all the moving bits will go a long way and some work on the grip to add a palm shelf and thumb rest will also help.

I've had no problem keeping all 10 shots in the black on the 10m airpistol target (single hand/no rest) The sight line is quite high for a modern target pistol but more of a personal preference thing.

So- A total redesign of the trigger unit to make a true two stage trigger adjusted to 500grams.
New fitted grips and low level sights, barrel re-crown, slightly reduce power and you should have an entry level target pistol that really could be competitive.

I like it.

Very interesting indeed, I'm not normally into target pistols for a few reasons, firstly because i dont normally like the look of them and their massive tree trunk grips and because of price and secondly i find my glossy black Beretta 92fs can compete with them up to 20ft anyway..

But theres something about the air force one trophy target pistol i like, i like the plain thinner style grip and the price tag seems fair.. I might have to look into getting one next year..

I have no intention of contradicting or "flaming" anyone on this or any other forum, but using paypal to pay for anything gun related is against their regs. IF something went wrong you would not be covered, you would have no comeback and paypal would not be in the least bit interested - trust me, I know

still really, really want one of these though so i might try one of the polish retailers with my switch/visa card - at least there's some degree of protection there

Me too. I was told by my dealer that the next shipment was due in mid January, but we are still waiting. I suspect that after the first shipment received good reviews that dealers doubled their next order, so maybe the manufacturer could not cope with the demand.....???

Why on earth would want to bother? by the time you've done that, it'd be cheaper to buy a new Tau and it'll still be better than what you end up with
