Top End Air Pistols

[Hsing-ee]

Just been practicing with my new-to-me Feinwerbau PCP target pistol. A really good pistol like this is such a different experience to the recoiling springers or cheaper CO2, they just do not compare. The low barrel line, grip, trigger and high power have won me over, I might even start practicing with the thing. It shattered the pellets on the target plate at 10m and got there so fast the impact was drowned by the muzzle blast, making me think I’d missed the target altogether.

It’s just like a rimfire. Pistol go bang!

Sounds fantastic, Al.

I've never had the opportunity to try a top-end PCP match pistol, but would imagine it to be a very pleasurable experience. You simply can't argue with that uber-precision and years of selective breeding. It'd be lovely to experience the balance, the handling, those superbly fine tolerances, the accuracy etc.

I have had a few shots with FWB65 sliding sledge pistols and they were also lovely, but a few generations older than your PCP.

Compliments on your purchase.

If you are shooting at 6 yd and 10 m targets, the only requirement is to produce a clean hole with wadcutters.

I have turned down the power on my Pardini to achieve this and it makes the pistol much softer and unreactive to shoot - 6 ftlbs is far too much for a target pistol.

Hope this helps and enjoy precision 10m pistol - it is similar in approach to 50m free pistol (and less costly!) particularly if you use RWS Basics and Meisterkugeln.

Been thinking of a target pistol myself, but being left handed they are a bit rare

Hi

Over the years I have been fortunate to own Steyr LP5 and LP50 pistols, which were a delight to use. Another excellent pistol, CO2 powered, was the Tau which seem to be unavailable these days.

What's the Air Arms one you can dry fire for practice?

[harvey_s]

Most target pistols can be dry fired for practice.

The only Air Arms one I can of think of however was the Alpha Project...
