What pistol did you shoot today

[TnCnDn]

Shot my 1720 across the chrono about a dozen times. Playing the balancing game now. Need to adjust the reg a tad.My plateau is smidge higher than I want. Once it’s tuned it’ll go back to being a carbine. I do need a dedicated pistol soon

Every now , and then I see something new to me , and I love to learn , so I looked this up. Not much information on them. It's truly a futuristic looking pistol , and very interesting especially the way you pump it up. How many pumps can it take? I've only read 2 , or 3 so far.

The Ultra can do 4 pumps. The earlier versions can do 3. But you need to be a gorilla to squeeze that 4th pump.
Not a lot of support for it out there, so much of that is left to the owner’s ingenuity. Thus far it’s been pretty reliable.
I’m not a fan of polymer guns (of any sort). Everything I have is all metal, with the exception of this Zoraki. Whatever it’s made of is damn tough stuff. I have to admit I’m impressed.

So my cunning plan 'B' failed today with no up or right adjustment left on the screws, I was really hoping this was the answer.

This is my plan 'C' that shows some initial promise over a short distance, but it won't be until next week when I can get to the range to try it out at 10m.

It's getting less aesthetically pleasing, but if it works, then that will have to do. One benefit of the latest option is a slightly higher sight line that makes it more comfortable to hold.

I’ve run it up to 4 once or twice, practically had to stand on it to close that 4th pump.
3 pumps is plenty powerful for anything I do.
Previous versions maxed out at 3 pumps but the Ultra is designed to up go to 4 pumps.

I occasionally remove the scope (easier to carry) and use just the stock iron (plastic) sights. That’s when I discovered that the front sight can flip 90 degrees between two post heights … one for close range, the other for distance.

Ok, here you go …
18.1gr JTS Dead Center pellets
3 pumps, 450fps
4 pumps, 500fps
They call it a pistol but to me it’s more like a short-barrel rifle

That's a really cool pistol thanks.

Only done a quick test fire, and doing 432 fps with 7.4gr Econ II, but I am so far very impressed with my new acquisition.

Can't wait to get it to the range!

I picked up this new to me Diana model 3 springer. Seems to shoot pretty good. The trigger is decent, sights are adjustable but very finicky. This model seems pretty obscure in North America, some European forum posts on these but really not a lot of info. Does anyone else have one? From what I can gleen from the WWW they were made sporadically from the late 80’s to 2006. I believe mine is from 2003.

Today I did some more pellet testing with RamJam my little 1377 . I really like the scope with the green reticle , and the built in red dot laser on at the same time what a cool looking contrast. Shot these few groups. The ones marked 9 were 9g Apollo pellets , and 7.33 were JSB EXACT RS .
