Re: Guns of the game: Air Pistol
I'll start this one. IF our club would ever actually offer Air Pistol, I got this one just for the game, and some winter practice. IZH-46M.

Crosman Mark I pistol converted to a MAC 1 LD in .22 caliber by MAC 1. Leupold 4x pistol scope with parallax reduced to Leupold's shortest distance (I believe it was 15 yards). RB aftermarket grips.

Re: Guns of the game: Air Pistol
Nice Steve! I have a similar gun by the same folks, except with a 4-12x scope on it. These things are very accurate and a lot of fun to shoot.

Re: Guns of the game: Air Pistol
What is the least expensive way to get involved in air pistol, and still be somewhat competitive?

Re: Guns of the game: Air Pistol
An AVANTI (Daisy) 747. It takes the Production championship all the time. In 2002 I took the first Production championship at the Internationals in TUSCO with a 77x80. That was with a stock box gun, no aftermarket sights, but I did add a pair of RB grips.kg4tyr wrote:What is the least expensive way to get involved in air pistol, and still be somewhat competitive?

Re: Guns of the game: Air Pistol
I originally designed this for pistol field target so it is set for a little under 12fpe. That's higher than needed for an IHMSA air pistol but it is still fairly accurate. I used a Benjamin Marauder pistol grip frame with a shortened rifle tube and rifle valve. It is regulated to 1200psi. It gets 60 shots at 12fpe. The HW barrel is a 14.97" long. Overall scoped weight is 6.8lbs.
I recently shot my first matches with it - US and UAS

Re: Guns of the game: Air Pistol
Is the Crosman Silhouette PCP a good gun for IHMSA air pistol? The add says it is IHMSA approved? I thought about buying one and a set of air pistol targets for practice
