Seen one of these s/h for £650 with a small air bottle.
What's the thoughts on this target tool?

A Pistol ? With youuuurrrr reputation ?
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

I understand that some kind of practice may be necessary. 12 rounds a year is not enough apparently…Originally Posted by Shed tuner
Curiously I did rather well with a Glock 17 when I visited a shooting range in Helsinki... even though the trigger on that is long and gritty like a badly prepared salad.

I do not have experience about the AP40 but you can find expert info and discussion by googling "Hammerli AP40 targettalk". Many of the fine folks at TargetTalk are seasoned competitors and I'd trust their knowledge and opinions. Personally, for frequent practice I would not buy a pistol that was discontinued 10 years ago and was never in very wide use. A more popular and more current model like Steyr LP10 or LP2 would be better choice, although inevitably more expensive too. But cylinders, grips and spare parts will be available for a long time.
Sometimes I think I'm the only pistolero in the World that feels no need to complain about Glock triggers. Yes the pull is long but not overly heavy, and it is what it is because the gun was designed as a service pistol. The pull even "stacks" quite nicely, one can feel a "second stage" just before the striker drops. And at least in my gun the trigger has no felt grittiness. There was some when the pistol was new, but it has smoothed out nicely just by shooting. A pleasant way to do a trigger job

Glock triggers are great. For a service pistol, the pull is short, light, and predictable (and safe). And they reset very quickly for double taps or controlled pairs.
The last twenty or so years almost all Glock’s competitors have brought out a (patent avoiding) Glock copy, for good reason. See SIG320.
If you want to experience a poor service pistol trigger pull, try the double action on a P38, Beretta 92, SIG226. Basically any DAO or DA/SA pistol, with the possible exception of the ludicrously over-engineered Bernardelli PO18, which basically has totally separate lock works for SA and DA.
