We have made our own "resting plates" for the first two pistols we have adapted for Supported Air Pistol Shooting.
The first was Pauls Walther, and the second was my LP10.
I used M5 steel screw-in flanged inserts in the base of my LP10 grip so the resting plate can be easily removed and replaced allowing the pistol to be used conventionally if required, but the base of the grip still looks neat and tidy.
The flanged inserts sit flush to the base of the grip and look quite good when the plate is removed!
Ray is using the same technique for his Feinwerkbau so we should have a third SAPS pistol ready very soon!

When I shot supported pistol, I found it was essential to adjust the height of the rest so that the sights aligned correctly as if shooting freehand.
I managed aome some nice tight groups but noticed that if I pulled a shot it often missed the black, emphasising any errors.
Great discipline for helping with technique as there is no hiding!!

I agree.
We mount our hard 50mm bars on top of some speaker stands that can be infinitely adjusted for height to get it right.
This is very good discipline that is still waiting to be discovered (I suspect by most air pistol shooters) but once tried everyone that we have found so far have really enjoyed it and recognised it as being real challenge.
