    Pistol shooting glasses

    Any recommendations for some pistol shooting glasses. I used to use some Knobloch years ago and I’ve looked at the Varga models. Can’t believe how expensive they are these days. Why did I sell the Knobloch ones. Doh.

    Secondhand frames come up quite regularly on the Stirton Forum. Best bet is to register there and bide your time.

    If you can't wait for a secondhand pair I can highly recommend the Varga
    TX200 .177 21mm TL | TX200HC .22 22mm TL | Prosport .22 22mm TL
    HW40 | HW45 | Diana Mod5 | Webley Senior....... Because PCP is like kissing your sister (apparently)

    Buy a suitable pair of off the shelf ready readers (£5 to £10?), blank out the L/H lens then send them here for a new right hand lens:-

    https://www.reglaze-glasses-direct.com/

    Cost under £20.

    You'll need your prescription for regular glasses and the Boot's optometrist who checked my eyes said at pistol foresight distance, a +1 over distance prescription would be needed. I'd taken a dummy "pistol" with me and the +1 turned out to be correct.

    Put a covering note of explanation for ReGlaze in with your glasses. They've done 4 shooting lenses for me over the last few years.
    Walther CP-2 Match, FAS 604 & Tau 7 target pistols, Smith & Wesson 6" & 4" co2 pistol, Crosman 1377,
    Baikal IZH 53 pistol, Gamo CFX Royal,177, Umarex SA-10 CO2 pistol.

    I am in the process of using Regalaze, if my prescription was not so awkward the replacement lenses were starting at £15 a pair delivered. For that you could have a pistol one and a rifle one.

    They are very helpful and the chap I spoke to was Chris. He did however say I needed a plus 3 step on my prescription, but after talking to RobinC the other night he said I needed a plus 2 step (+50) to be added, I have contacted them so hopefully it will be rectified...

    Thanks Robin
