The Model 65 is undoubtably the best pistol - I agree - but the MPL rules have been designed to make life difficult for the posh kit when used against the basic "twanging kickers" and looks like they are doing exactly that!
The MPL is proving to be a very interesting series to try and understand the pros and cons of using a basic "kicker" and gaining the score UP (plus one point per card bonus) against the superior recoiless pistols that can only score DOWN.
Maybe this is the most difficult series to compete in due to all the variables that have been included to provoke thought and to encourage some testing to see what can work the best?

The GAMO Centre has done it again - although sadly not with an RMTC shooter this time ( although as he is a Rossendale resident we should claim the score I think) so well done Paul Wrey with an MPL Round 3 top score of 182 ex 200.
If any more proof were needed to show that the GAMO Centre is the best ( and unbeaten) pistol to use in the MPL - here is some more !..unless anyone can beat that score with any other MPL legal pistol!

During a little cleaning session I mixed up the grips on the Centre pistols that we have at RMTC.
The superbly rebuilt example that JG rebuilt and used so well in Round 2 somehow ended up with Fido's grip fited to it, but this mongrul peformd well enough and if anything the teeth and chew marks on the grip actually gives a little more "grip"!

Interesting findings for the Gamo Center which does not suprise me. I used one heavily during the early 80s and found it very accurate.
There was some argument back then that rear moving pistons for Webley pistols were a better idea but time has proven this to be in error.
While it appears to make sense to have a rear moving piston striking into the hand, they forgot about the 2 way recoil effect, where the secondary recoil moving forward (in the case of the Webley design) is more difficult to control than the secondary recoil of forward moving pistons. You will find that the Original 5, Gamo Center etc are more accurate than the Webley, HW45 designs offhand therefore.
Lightly sprung at approx 3ftlbs the Gamo didnt suffer from much in the way of recoil/vibration niether.
