“My slide failed to cycle” is a classic example of borderline passive voice burying the lede.

“I was dryfiring, and now I cannot cycle my slide. The gun is locked up in battery.” That would have...

What’s the overtravel profile like in the GPT?

For reference, my bullseye guns—the overtravel screws are set to clear the half-cock notch by a quarter screw turn. The pull weight on both is 4 lbs...

Had the chance to shoot a Glock at 25 yards for the first time in ages. I lined up and shot freestyle off to the side of a local club’s bullseye match. This string was shot during the rapid fire...

It’s just the butt end of the striker. Several pistols do that.

What does “lock everything down” mean? Straight elbows? I’m not tracking what needs to be locked other than firm wrists.

It takes minimal effort to shoot and control a pistol athletically. There’s absolutely zero need to flare the elbows and introduce a bunch of isometric tension and torque (and get tendinitis) just...

This practice can be obtained with a completely functional budget 1911 from Tisas or Rock Island or (depending on budget) a lower-end Springfield. There's no benefit, financial or practical, to...

Big dots and busy reticles don’t make sense on handguns. It’s like a fiber optic bead on a shotgun… I don’t exactly want more crap tempting my eye away from the target.

Emitter quality and...

AMU has started accurizing the M17 per some folks connected to the AMU on the Bullseye-L Facebook group.

I have no clue how they’re doing triggers or which sights they’re using. Probably...

The “bullseye Berettas” are not dot guns. They’re metallic sight service pistols.

Open emitter reflex sights are not competitive in bullseye on centerfire guns and Berettas have no surface for a...

There is zero advantage to shortening your sight radius on a bullseye gun.

Centurion from full size cuts a half-inch off your sight radius. That isn’t doing anyone any favors at 50 yards.

Delete, double post due to bad internet at work and probably a cyberattack.

This specific picture cost me money as of yesterday. I wanted a heavier .22 upper with a longer sight radius and a sharply undercut front sight. Nelson Custom is making it happen.

revchuck38 you can also use the NRA competition search function filtered by “International” sports. That will show where the NRA-sanctioned standard pistol, air pistol, and free pistol matches are....

The largest online resource I have found is USA Shooting’s schedule of events. Some smaller club and league-level events are announced on TargetTalk.

I have also talked to some scholastic...

Bullseye and Air Pistol are great sports. i have been shooting precision pistol sports almost exclusively for three years—I’m somewhat medically disabled, so the run and gun sports are off the table...

I can’t believe this thing is back. It shoots no better than a Steyr, Caracal, or Arsenal. Move the spring whereever you want, the reciprocating mass is still above and in front of the wrists. The...

Ah yes, the blazing hot “bugout bag/prepper” trend.

If zombie-themed ammo makes a comeback, I’m swimming in the Atlantic with concrete flippers.

Reengineered Tomcat/Bobcat series with flat faced triggers, extended mags, new mag release, optics compatibility… and Beretta showed up with a comped (ported?) prototype.

My “that’s neat” brain...

RJ absolutely agree that it’s spendy. The same amount of GMM at that link was going to run $208 plus tax and shipping. But, if supply on that ammo at that price ever dries up, the Wilson’s the next...

No, this is the ammo.

When it goes on sale, it’s a better buy. If I had to quit reloading for some reason, I’d probably shoot more matches .22 only; stock up on these puppies whenever they went...

Well, since 148gr .38 WCs going 700ish penetrate right around the 18-21” mark in 10% gelatin, I can’t imagine the .45 would underpenetrate… but I also think there’s a difference between proper WCs,...

That price is insane. Federal sells 185 GMM for almost $1.50/round.

You might be surprised what feeds a semi-wadcutter. I don’t know a single bullseye gunsmith who throats barrels for SWCs. An...

My bad—my brain defaults to 10 rounds for B8 scoring! Definitely changes the math (and significance of your scores). If I was on a computer and not a phone, I probably would have been able to count...

This is going to sound harsh, but I am a decent active bullseye shooter with a bit of success in competition… and I am surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

If you’re shooting less than a 100...
