What pistol did you shoot today

As a follow up to my M29 testing last week, I have been modifying my shells, not sure if they are bb versions, but I have drilled out twelve with a 4.7mm drill, followed by a 3/16 reamer.

The thee targets each have twelve rounds of Meisterkuglen 7gr, and from the left are:
1. Modified shells, off-hand at 10m
2. Modified shells, rested at 10m
3. Unmodified shells, rested at 10m

My conclusion is that it will be worth doing the remaining eighteen shells, but I need to do some work on the lump of meat on the grip. 😜

Keep scooping the HW45 .20. I have to give it a lot more credit. Smacking cans at 27 yds. This is where Canadian laws get stupid. Not allowed to shot over 500 fps. with a pistol, restricted. Special licence needed.

Have the P1 and P11, can’t see due to cataracts, but not for long. I won’t need glasses. Can’t wait. Crow
 
Did some shooting with this rare gem today. As all MatchGuns pistols, the MGH1 also have its quirks and peculiarities, but all in all this is a really nice piece of engineering. Nice grip, good balance, an unusual but comfortable way to load the pellet, and a really nice (electronic) trigger. :)

...today I broke my GK1 by forgetting to lock the cylinder...

...I was trying to get it perfectly zeroed and had just fired 4 shots and run out of pellets...

...I thought I would shoot a few more just to get an Idea of where it was shooting...so I reloaded and forgot to lock the latch...

...there was a loud pop, no shot, and now the cylinder is locked...shoving the carbon fiber rod down the bore didn't help...

...turns out the 4 shots were dead on in a tiny cluster, and I could have just stopped...LoL...

i screwed up & forgot to close the fast loading gate a couple of weeks ago & a pellet fell out part way to the rear & locked the mag, i had a heck of a time getting the pellet out , i pushed it back & forth with a small allen key & cut the pellet into pieces with a razor blade knife, took a while but i got it, i know yours is a different problem but check &make sure a pellet is not locking you up, mine was locked tight also , would not move either way, \good luck..

Some time with the M29 today, I fitted a full length 0.177 rifled barrel to this last year, I wasn't sure about the accuracy at short range, so tried it at 10m, rested and off-hand.
Niether cards were particularly great, this pistol did shoot much better with a different barrel that had to go into a friend's M29 (long story), so I think I might be on the lookout for a new piece of barrel to machine for this pistol.
One glimmer of hope is that the shells are quite tight on the pellet skirts, so I have started reaming them out, six done so far, and the fps has gone up from around 390 to 420, maybe it will help with the accuracy...

I bought this one a couple of days ago. I'm usually a 10m ISSF target shooter, but this rascal invites to other kinds of target shooting. It came with a moderator and a red dot sight, but just for testing it out a bit today I shoot it one handed with iron sights. Anyway an interesting acquantance, I think we can be good buddies this summer. 😀

Played around with the power adjustment yesterday at the farm! Ended up with a tune of 800fps with JSB heavies Mk11 pellets!
One full mag of 17 shots with a 8fps spread from 320 bar to 200 bar. Just puts a smile on my face every time I squeeze the trigger 😁👍
