Giant air pistol or perfect size carbine?
I’m not a competitive air pistol shooter so I didn’t mind adding a buttstock for some back yard fun.
Now I can’t imagine taking the buttstock off.
The only problem is that the back yard isn’t big enough to make it challenging. lol

How did you get Steve's work? Been trying to get one for a P-rod. I didn't think I would like the blue but it works, epic

That looks friggin awesome. I need to check out that stock for mine.
Love that blue.

Why not both? I try keep a carbine stock for all of my pistols. No luck with my ranchero yet. Too swamped with life in general to make a stock for it yet.

Shooting a pistol well is mostly about hold. Well, that and trigger control. Where to hold your hands and how. Air pistols are a bit different, though. Each one has it's own character. Primarilly defined by the action of the hammer (or piston for some) just before the gun fires. Practice enough, and you'll get the hang. Do some research as well and try out different techniques. I learned a while back that moderator weight/size, as well as optic weight and positioning can help balance a pistol out if utilized properly. This can stabilize the gun during the shot cycle/trigger break. Trigger over-travel stop can help as well if you can adjust break/take-up, and over-travel to be very small. Coupled with a light break. Any of these have potential to destabilize the gun. Your trigger group is one of the best you can get. And does have an over-travel stop.

I like both because the stock clearly has a stability advantage, but shooting without is good practice, and a good challenge.
