What pistol did you shoot today

[0akhonor]

Shot field target with a full power ranchero in .22 cal, 16 x scope today.
It was competitive with the rifles, really a lot of fun.
Not AAFTA approved (17 ft/lbs) but it's a local match, so we can expirement.

Shot my newly rebuilt Daisy Powerline 790, not quite a 79G, but it will go well with my 78G.
Putting out 7.33gr Econ II pellets at around 470 fps, makes a nice bang too!

The bottom one is the 780 pre-refurbishment. Most of the work was cleaning up the muck from the inside, deburring all the damaged screw heads, polishing and re-bluing them. There had been a rattle-can respray at some point that needed cleaning off too.

Hey guys, new member here. Wish I still had my crossman .177 bb break barrel pistol from when I was a kid. Took by first squirrel with that thing - my grandma made squirrel pie if you can believe it.

I’m just getting into the modern airgun world. I might pick up an Evanix Viper .25 or a Bintac M50 .510. Only thing is I bet they’re both pretty loud and even though I have a safe range set up in my yard I don’t want to annoy my neighbors. I may see if DonnyFL or another company makes moderators for them.

I gave this one some exercise today. Just short of 20 5-shot rapid fire series. Same fun every time.

Put around 100 rounds through the BRNO TAU-7, and the same through the new HW75. Nothing formal, just beer cans at 15-20 yards. It's the most I've shot the BRNO since I re-blued it, re-sealed and re-crowned it, and all seems to be working properly. Love the trigger. The 75 is quickly becoming my new favorite. What a gun.

Shot this yesterday for the first time. I’m using rws basic pellets and it is very accurate. I have a vector optics rd on it. I ran out of elevation so I ordered this:

To get some adjustment back.

Otherwise, I love the shooting feel and trigger. Cocking is light and smooth and the grip fits perfectly.

There are some mighty fine air pistols being shown off!!! These had not been in the rotation for minute, so I loaded them up and shot em till the co2 ran out! Shot from 10 yards.

Very accurate and a pleasure to shoot with the red dot

It's an unusual arrangement, but if it works for you and puts a smile on your face, it has got to be right!

Another quick blast with the S&W 78G this evening, ALWAYS puts a big smile on my face.

Very cool. Buddy of mine has the Umarex Colt John Wayne. Lot of fun.

Nice looking 790. It's interesting, the 78G I posted pics of a few pages back came in the original S&W box with S&W branded pellets and C02, paperwork too, but the manual was for a Daisy 780/790. Original owner said that was the manual that came with it. Never had a Daisy branded gun apart but from what I can see the guns themselves are the same other than the markings. I'm not up on the more detailed history of the guns, but it looks like there was a lot of Daisy/S&W crossover.



Like yours, both of my guns have a healthy bang when fired. One of the first things I do as well is clean up the buggered screw heads, then polish and blue them. What are the origins of the lined wooden box? Is it a factory made item, or something custom made?

@Northwoods22 - My wife found the box on FB marketplace, it was just a simple home-made item. I lined it out to house a Webley Hurricane and a SSP Nemesis. After selling those I tried the 78G, and it fitted perfectly, but now I have the 790, I have got another case lined up for these two great pistols. The case in the picture might now be altered to fit my Crosman 38T and another Crosman pistol project I have yet to make a start on.
The early Daisy 780/790 pistols were assembled from parts made by S&W, but as time went by, they cut costs and degraded the quality using plastic parts to the point sales declined.

8 shots all inside 3/4" ...3 in bull and one annoying flyer high....

 

[Modski66]

Why is there always a flyer...

 

[Steveoo]

In this case it was my first shot.....this gun often requires a clearing shot but I forgot to do it...

 

[Modski66]

It is quite often my last shot because I have got all giddy about a tight group...

 

[Northwoods22]

Put a couple of C02 cartridges worth of pellets through my Walther CP88 and Sig 226. Fun guns. Cleaned up the trigger on the CP88 and it's a nice shooter with RWS 7gr Hobby. Also burned some powder with my 9mm Steyr Model 9.

Put some lead downrange at around ten yards with my Hy Score .22. Started with the three inch cast iron pan, but moved to the larger. I fill them with modeling clay. Turn them around for iron.

While waiting for parts from the Crosman mothership to arrive so that I can convert an Amazon Prime 2240 into a 2300GhettoS, I decided to have a little fun with shaky juice can tabs.
