What pistol did you shoot today
- Thread starter Septicdeath
- Start date
From last night, pitted my Biakal 46M against my Crosman 1701P in a death match. What I learned: 1) the Biakal is slightly better, especially offhand 2) I really suck at Olympic style off-hand pistol shooting

These two if you consider dry firing to test a completed gun build. Moded 1701 and a 2250 pcp. Now time to tune the 2250. High strength valve bolts in the works along with more internal valve modding being drawn out.

John Taylor, it must be a tall hill to climb to get that water mess fixed up. Those air pistols look good though. There's fun to be had in pitting one against the other though. Guess I need to do that today. Most of mine are not that notable of shooters. I do have a Diana 6M. Need to buy a new supply of quality match pellets for them. It has been a while. Be Well Brothers, dito.

The first inundation was a big surprise….that’s where we lost all the vehicles, motorcycles, lawn maintenance stuff, stationery tools…lathe, table saw, jointer, etc.. spent the whole next week cleaning, throwing out my stuff,pressure washing. The second inundation I was Very Prepared. No additional loss during Milton. Thank the Lord the house is on piers...lots of folks weren’t so fortunate. Anyway…getting the shop rearranged…lots more space now. My wife bought me a new pellet trap for Christmas, so naturally I had to try it out. The FWB 90 is awesome as always…the 850 is needing new seals….off to Mr Slade to work his magic. The Compact is like a Timex….I use the H&N 7 gr wadcutters in all my target pistols…they work great for my ability. Thanks for the shout out…John

I think I'm done with the esthetics. One ragged hole on the left, 6 shots at 5 yards with a two hand hold and nursing the tail end of a shoulder injury. Tuning for fps soon.

Nice lookers AG53. Please let us in on all your results. And don't leave out ops that don't work. That keeps the rest of us from doing same. Be Well Brothers, dito.

I was given a Chaser stock that was missing the rubber butpad, and discovered it fit my pp02 4.45mm .177 cal. pistol. Hmm it did need a 1/4 inch shaved off to nest in the pp02's grip.
Now it has been laying around in the shop at work,"still holding CO2 for months". and I kept forgetting to bring it home to scope it and see what it can do.
Well it did this after sight in the holes up and right are from initial zeroing shots, then I let the Ruger .177 hollow points fly.
10meters sotra rested. 
Next time I will try off a bag, with the stock off ?

Looks like a shooter and lots of fun. I am always going to be looking for stocks and guns to convert into pistols. According to MY World's Authority on those conversions, the QB and the 180 are some of the best for conversion to HPA and pistols. Certainly they can still be powered by CO² as well.

Somewhat neglected, the AP16 got some use today. Shot three magazines of 14.3 grain Crosman's with a 125 bar regulator setting at 723 fps.

The "balmy, that 38° " characterization was humor and opposite the definition of 'balmy weather' which is fairly warm and pleasant. Temps in the 30's coupled with wind chill is the oposite of balmy, bone soaking cold really.Do you mean barmy?

70° in central Kalifornia this afternoon. Should be in the 50°s, never seen this in all my years. No time for a long walk with the dog and the Huben today so I spent a half hour with the IZH 46. It's still the most relaxing pistol I have. Every time I shoot it I'm thankful that Tim and LD twisted my arm enough so that it went home with me.

Apologies, I got your joke, I was trying to join in with the humour. Maybe my British version doesn't cross the pond so we'll.

The wind and temp are spooky today in the state of Misery, in the NW corner. We have an East wind. That usually means whatever garbage the weatherman predicts is 2 or 3 times worse. About 50 years ago I got in from a wrecker call. I had come over a hill on gravel and was on top of the snow. Not gravel. I was below the line of sight in the middle of the road. In the middle of a blizzard I got out and chained both rear duals, running the cherries on top, and praying no vehicles would land on top of me and the wrecker. The BIG GUY always watches over me. Got home, called the school and said let's turn those buses around now. The principal told me it would be sunny by 1300 and the snow gone by 1530! As the bus contractor at a young age I took it. But that night as the last bus finally got back, at 1900, I was fit to be tied. They never played me off again. One should pay attention to the weather in Misery. And pistol shooting is great inside here in the winter. No wind or cold in my basement. YMMV. Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

I broke out the GK1 today for the first time in what feels like a couple of months. Shot a couple mags, started getting rained on, and packed everything in. Smh.
