Re: laser pistol for modern pentathlon

In Australia imitation weapons are on the prohibited list.
If it even looks like a pistol it would need the same rego and licencing as a regular pistol.

Re: Handling Hearing Loss

I have had hearing aids for about 6 months [should have had them years ago]. I wear the electronic ear-protection over my Behind-the-ear aids. I am fortunate that it doesn't get the feedback that Spencer is probably referring to. BUT all hearing aids are different, so may not work covered. Experimen...

Re: Allowable Malfunction in Standard Pistol Precision?

That problem reads like you also put 10 shots up , and then score. As most Clubs do. It reads as if he had to reshoot the 5 shot series, he would have 14 shots on the target. That creates a problem if that malfunction is in the second series [last shot], before scoring. The rule is for 5 shots, then...

This may be just confusion of cracked SLIDES on some EARLIER Pardini SP.

Google for cracked barrell Pardini RF comes up with just this thread as the source reference.
Winstanley94. The source of the rumour is yourself.
Just buy one and you will be happy with it.

How do you get a flag and a round into the chamber and get the breach to close? That must be one sloppy chamber. Also for it to go off it required the breach to be closed and someone to pull the trigger. You don't. The breach doesn't need to close. The hard flag pressed on the case rim which was pr...

Ah! The incredible Margolin. The barrel weights are various custom jobs. No factory ones, other than the 22short RF compensator, to my knowledge. 2 piece ones usually just screw together, and some are one piece that require the front sight to be removed, to remove the weight. The front sight is just...

So the next step will be to make it "easier" for competitors to not have to worry about the transition to the larger recoil, from training to competition, and to just have a .22 match, instead of a 32/38 match.
That is what I am getting at.

But what is the problem with the current trigger weight, that needs to 'fixed'? Every pistol event has its own challenges in format, caliber, grips, trigger wt. etc. Thats what makes pistol shooting interesting to a large number of people. Is this just to gradually reduce the individual matches by s...

Re: Rapid fire stage

2. If you by accident discharge a shot at the start after "LOAD" but before the target turn away or red light start, stop shooting and raise your free hand. You will loose 2 point but it is far better than nothing. You must not continue! 8.6.6.2.3.1 The start of a serie : 8.6.4.9.4 Kent I...

I have been thinking along the same lines as you.
A ban on all C/F pistols, will be the next push by the Anti-gun lobby here in Oz.
