Having this short 15 foot distance has given me the opportunity to see how important stance is when shooting off hand.

What pistol did you shoot today
- Thread starter Septicdeath
- Start date
Wow I actually shot a couple pistols today, my pair of stubby 2240' well one is a 1740 I guess. Still had CO2 enough for about 10 shots each.

Bingo.
And the grip hold … whenever I shoot the HW45 I find that the slightest change in my grip will push me off target. That’s probably the most grip-sensitive pistol I have.

Need to get the Webley out. Too busy smoking two turkey breasts. Already finished turkey brats in the smoker. Going to make some Mac and cheese with smoked sharp cheddar and chopped smoked brats. Will disappear fast when the family gets here. Be Well Brothers and Merry Christmas, Bandito.

Broke out the Umarex MP40 today for a chrono check.
They advertise this at 465fps or thereabouts.
I chrono'd it at 440fps with black diamond BBs, and at 10 yards it was holding 1" groups., even on full auto!
Not bad for a BB gun plinker.
Oh .... and zero misfeeds with the black diamonds. Just pure fun.

This thing wasn’t without a few initial problems.
A minor nitpick … the shoulder strap loop was on the wrong side so I had to pull the barrel shroud and flip the loop over.
A real problem though, is some of the internal dowel pins. I had one split. This caused intermittent jamming at first then outright failure to fire later. Methinks the pin that split was not hardened properly, if at all, and it appeared to be some sort of “hard stop” that was repeatedly slammed in normal operation. Easily fixed with a proper hardened pin from the local hardware store and it’s been trouble free ever since.
Anymore, I sort of expect problems like this. Everything is made to a price point and certain corners are cut. I try to find those corners and replace (or make) whatever to bring up the quality

It is always a pleasure to take the Huben GK1 .25 out and plink in the backyard. 25 yards freehand so consistent and fun to shoot a quick 100 rounds....

I shot two of my replica Co2 air pistols, first was my Umarex Beretta mod. 92 FS in .177 caliber pellet, the second is my Glock model 19 Gen 5 blow back BB pistol, both shot wonderfully at 10 meters, yah, I know they aren't Huben's or some other big ticket air pistols but they are fun and good practice for those of us who occasionally carry for self defense.
I have a couple of single shot target pistols that are scary accurate, but I don't have the patients for one at a time air handguns,
there's something to be said for controlled breathing, concentration, and follow through, but I'm not a paper puncher, I'm more a tin can plinker.
Happy New Year to all.

The Christmas rush has subsided and it's way too cold to shoot outdoors.
My FWB P8x is on the table today as the winter indoor shooting season has officially started.
Cheers!

Sunday morning, cup of coffee, just sorting things in the shop, after cleaning the mess left by 42” of water…2 weeks in a row….anyway, my shooting is as rusty as some of my tools. Good to be on the downhill side. John
