" In some older thread I remember reading that a Toz is more "forgiving" that a Morini (Gwhite?) " This line is actually from an article of the late coach of the Soviet pistol team Anatoliy Poddubny. He called Morini "a hindrance of the free pistol discipline" and lamen...

I generally find any snap caps for .22 dry firing pretty useless, whether made from plastic or aluminium. They just wear too fast for any meaningful training. I resolved this problem by making an insert that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin.

And Women's Sport Pistol, to gender-balance Men's Rapid Fire Pistol.

It's US bullseye that influenced Olympic sport pistol IIRC. No, you are confusing things here. It is the standard pistol, first introduced in 1969 in the European Championship, whose entry was influenced by the American bullseye course of fire. Standard pistol is barely known in many countries and ...

Gregor, With due respect, it is rather unlikely that the decision of the international Olympic body came as a result of NRA's domestic polarizing activity within the United States. Your theory implies that restrictive gun laws and decimation of gun ownership in the vast majority of western countries...

But what are those great promotional successes that we've had recently, apart from seeing FP go? I try hard but do not see how shooting is even promotable given 1) the current political climate, and 2) the fact that a new smartphone generation finds it too boring. Aren't we fooling ourselves by pret...

Like I said, the liberal socialist weenies are running the show. The first step was just taken to eliminate shooting and it was a big step. ANd as soon as you start being a judgemental ass you become one of the biggest problems in the way of promoting shooting sports to a wider audience. Count me a...

Our annual matches are fast approching. I have attached a zip file with all the details. if you can't open the file, send me a message with you email address. No offense, but your post would be so much more user-friendly if, in addition to telling people to go unpack a zip archive and peruse 5 file...

I love how so many people use this forum to advise people how to avoid my business. Some of whom I considered friends and even helped them in their businesses..... I'd think that quite a few of those many people, especially those who found TargetTalk through google or personal reference, have littl...

Sad. Who is Willing?

Is it even realistically possible to reverse the trend and revive the shooting sports back to where they used to be before computer games, Internet, Facebook, mountain biking, action shooting, snowboarding, surfing, etc. made life so much more dynamic than it was in the 20th century? Shooting is a n...

I disagree. Begging the question involves an unproven premise in the body of the question, in this case that so many people dislike the Evo. The classic, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Is similar, there's an assumption in the question that is unproven and inarguable based on the fo...

Nice strawman/informal fallacy. I disagree. It's actually a great example of begging the question," You people are unnecessarily harsh on the Original Poster. He committed none of the aforementioned fallacies. "Begging the question" means using a circular reasoning. For example, had ...

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in...

"Individual acts of selfishness," unfortunately, are at the core of the capitalist system. A business that expects customers to act against their self-interest is only partially business and partially a donation-seeking enterprise. There is nothing wrong about it, of course, as many entiti...

It depends on the industry. We import machines into the UK and as part of the deal we are expected to pick up reasonable warranty labour costs (thankfully few). If that is the case here, it would be reasonable for an official importer to charge fair price for the labor and parts. It would not be re...

I wouldn't trust that repairman to repair my gun. Why? Because they clearly don't give a shit about me. Why should I trust their expertise when they could so easily (and would want to) take advantage of me? They not only don't have my interest in mind, they have no interest in repairing my gun, and...

In the real world, there is no way a servicing US importer-dealer could afford to stay in business whilst competing with an overseas seller like Krale. If you do buy from them, I hope everything works just right because any US / Canada dealer you approach for warranty service will be perfectly just...

That's a lot of words to say that in sales one should balance between running out of goods and stocking too much of them. Stores need to look at how gas stations are run. The purpose of a business is not to simply buy stock, set a price, sell it all, then buy more. The purpose of a business is to ma...

I think it is very noble to purchase from a dealer who plays an important role in a sport as small as ours. I also think that it is perfectly noble to save your family $500 in extra expenses and buy directly overseas, especially if you are not very rich. To each his own.
