http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq218/Ignatz851/P1000553.jpg I made this chart.......way back when the wife and I shot LP1's. My pistol was an early one I bought used and came with three different steel cylinders. One of my cylinders is dated 2/91. Of course we still have all this stuff! I'm not...

Yes, thats a complete Giles gun, except for the Rink grips.

I recently bought Rink grips for my 103 Giles HS. Whatever size I bought, I probably could have gone one size larger. Just in case you go with the Rinks. I'm left handed too.
Actually the standard plastic grips don't feel too bad.

I have never heard of him. I would like to hear the story behind this guy.

The Doctor is one of the nicest person I've met, and shot with. If its the same Sushil, then I'd say his scores improved dramatically!

New gun syndrome!.....ride the wave!

My HP is 006X, must be from the first run. Still shoots!

Here is the other side. I think they were made by Vitbarbo. The Morini's are a lot more thicker.

I got these grips from another lefty that was good! I have Morini grips, but never liked them.

If you practice at home, turn the target around and shoot at a blank piece of paper. See if you still shoot left. Its amazing how tight a group (left to right) you can get on blank paper.

My wife shoots a 3rd gen Glock 34 with minor spring changes, that brings the trigger pull down to a little above 3#. 100% reliable, and 2.5" groups at 25 yards all day long. She likes the slant grip style guns better, than the 45 grip autos. Last year I put a fiber optic front sight on, and a H...

Back in the 90's another shooter on the line had a Pardini with half the barrel cut off, and a long extended front sight to make up the "normal" long sight radius.
I think it was on of Don Nygord's modified pistols that he offered.

I started bullseye shooting in the early 90's when High Standards and S&W 41's were popular at Camp Perry matches. My question is....Were the Colt 22 target pistols ever the predominant pistol in Bullseye, and when did they fall out of favor. A Colt Match Target pistol is so beautiful, but I've ...

Hi, I was wondering how many older (seasoned) shooters out there used Hi-Standard pistols for Standard pistol. Even though I have a Pardini SP, I like shooting the Victor, and recently acuired a Giles 103 slant grip thats runs flawless. Anyone ever get their old stuff out and play, or do you leave t...

You might want to consider the used Trailside in the "for sale" section. It sounds like its all sorted out. If it functions fine with inexpensive standard velocity ammo...all the better.

I started with the Baikal 7-2 and liked it just fine. This is just an older version of the more common Izhmash rifles. Years back I was having problems with my right eye....so I bought a left hand 1827 fortner. At that time I don't remember any left handed Russian guns. The Anshutz is like a piece o...

Mine is an older HP and I replaced mine when I saw plastic pieces floating around the pistol. Maybe the material they used over the years changed, so I really can't tell you how long they will last. Way back when it happened, I called Don Nygord and he said I could probably replace it myself, but he...

With some of this Russian stuff, I wonder if theres warehouses with parts and guns packed to the roof? .....just waiting for the next importer!

Just my opinion, but I think the 280 was a lot more expensive to manufacture. Maybe Hammerli was looking to cut costs with the SP20. I sorta remember the 280 cost more than the 208s in the beginning. I use to have old sales flyers from Miller's Hammerli but threw them out a couple of years ago. My w...

The first thing I do when I reload is turn on my shortwave radio. (SP-600). Great pastime.

Hi, Back in the late 90's I developed a tremor in my shooting arm that made slow fire shooting impossible. After 2 years of sulking I decided to start shooting left handed. I then came up with the idea of starting over ( like I never shot before). I took lessons from a high master (Ron Steinbrecher)...
