Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

So, I had a nice reply all typed up and I thought I submitted it. Don't know what happened there. Nope, I don't get offended easy. Yes, more practice is required. Maybe if the unique is what I feel comfortable with I should look further afield at the "mag in grip" (what is the technical te...

Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

Yeah, well. Interesting. Last night at the club while practicing, I shot a Unique .22 and the late model Pardini .22 I must say, I was underwhelmed by the Pardini. A bit of a shock really. Even though the Unique was older, and had a lot more rounds shot through it (and also that I shoot like crap) I...

Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

I have every intention at some point of purchasing what some might consider "too many" and others "a few more" of guns. When I used to shoot hunting rifles, a few rounds meant a brick (500) of .22's and two boxes of rifle rounds. 40 rounds of whatever centrefire never went far, a...

Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

OK then. It seems you are right. 50m Free pistol does not a "urban" and "woman friendly" games make. 50 metre prone rifle is gone too. Do you shoot the Benelli in rapid fire events?

Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

So, DavidM what pistols would you recommend for those events? 50 metre free pistol is still an Olympic event. But yes apart from that I agree with you. A separate pistol is needed for each of the Olympic events, yet at most of the clubs around the state and in the amateur circuit there are many even...

Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

how is the Pardini to shoot? what is the comparison like to say the Walther? does the .32 long shoot .32 acp? or is it a different chambering?

Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

I am aware that the pardini pistols are very popular, many of the competitive shooters in the club I am a member of, use them. Did you know that the extractor claw and firing pins are the most used new parts by these firearms?, who will replace (break) them at least once every season? I suspect that...

best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

Hi, I am new (back) to the sport, pistol shooting. I have recently joined a club and I am in no rush to buy a new pistol as I have some training to do before I go on to competition. In the past I have enjoyed bowhunting and recreational shooting, and throwing knife, slingshot, and some target archer...
