No shooting for me today, but made a lot of progress on my Notos project. Beautiful specimen you got there!

What pistol did you shoot today
- Thread starter Septicdeath
- Start date
Got up early and shot the S&W 79G and 78G, and the Mk1. I think I posted pics of the 78G earlier. It's one that I bought a couple of months ago that came in the original box with the S&W branded pellets, C02, and original paperwork. Shoots great. The Mk1 was a gift from an old friend who knew of my love of airguns. Told him what a Mk1 in such good condition was worth, but he insisted on it being a gift. All it needed was a re-seal, clean and lube. Crisp trigger, powerful, and accurate. I really like American air pistols from this era. They're replicas of PB target pistols I own, so they're great training/practice substitutes, albeit single shot. Built so solid and easy to work on too.

@Northwoods22 I too have got a love for the older American air pistols, the 78G is my all time favourite pistol, I now have a Daisy 790, a Crosman 38T and most recently a Daisy Powerline 44 with all three barrel lengths.

Got my Ruger 10-22 Docter base mount installed on this GK1 and I'm loving this thing more and more. Just a generic 2 MOA micro dot, but what a difference it make, less than 2" groups at 30 yrds. for my old eyes. Had to make a new case for as won't go on with the micro dot on.

Today I shot the third variant of the Plainsman 175. This one was made be Marksman after they bought Heathways out. It sports the brown grips and can use either a 8g or 12 gram co2 cartridge. It also keeps the power adjustment screw. This pistol feels great in the hand, and will shoot bbs as fast as you can pull the trigger.

Haven't had much time to shoot lately, but a rat has taken up residence in my shed so I dusted off my Crosman Mark 1. Its been modded some my Mac 1 and is too much fun! I shot this group just now standing at 10 yards- things fell apart on the next group and I ran low on Co2. I'm using a red dot and taco hold.

Today finally got to target shot an old fav of mine after couple of days dove hunting with the Huben GK1, 4 eurasian dove and 2 cotton tail bunnies for the first kill. This one a convertible CO2/HPA FEG.

Doing some indoor shooting due to weather. It's late enough in the season to justify setting up the 10 meter range out in the shop/garage. Picked up another Bushnell compact red dot. Mounted it on the Vigilante. Works well.
And, they're not pistols, but I got the urge to shoot some SMG replicas. Both are .177 bb Umarex H&K MP5's. The K model is semi-auto C02, and the A model is a select-fire electric springer. Weight and balance is close to the actual firearm, so they make good trainers, and are a fun break from my more traditional airguns.

Shooting my custom home built P-rod this morning before I put it away for a side lever conversion. My first attempt at blind inletting on the grip, I think it turned out great. Using 14" crosman barrel and p-rod mags. Billet aluminum action, drop block and modular valve is my prototype design.

They are basically the same, only a few minor differences. The 120D came with .177 barrel also.The trigger adjustment actually works, dosen't need mod like P17

Pulled the Zoraki .22 out of the safe today. This gun is a blast to shoot. Have a micro reflex sight for it but I'm trying the open sights, getting tough for these old eyes. The moderator really takes the bark out of it.
