What pistol did you shoot today

I have not done any shooting at all really to speak of this summer and it's kind of pissing me off. I try to sustain at least some engagement with any hobby that I've invested some time in but I've just had too much going on and then the wrong kind of energy when I've had free time. I have to start scheduling it like other things that are important to me and then planning around it as opposed to waiting for the planets to align. I would've probably seen what I could hit with some janky iron sights I have on my .357 Rex P if I had gotten around to it. That gun has all kinds of shortcomings relative to the modern highly refined airgun, but I love it for the Air Force like simplicity, complete reliability, easy loading, under lever mechanism, and absurd report. Maybe tomorrow.
 
Hi guys..it was a good day for me today..sold one of my boats..extra play money now…after all the chores were done ..had some time left for shooting..then the hard part which one get to come out to bark it’s muzzle off…💡idea came to mine..gave them each a chip and in the hat they go till I shoot all of them ..no favoritism any more ..first pick was a doozy..It was the 78G..this one is almost museum quantity and it barks like a big dog…@ 30 yards open sights it was crushing the 4” plates..for a CO2 pistol .. I am guessing it’s close to 600 fps..I have been looking for a decent chronograph..but 700 is a little steep just to check the speed of a pellet for just plinking around in the back yard

That is a very fine looking example, I love mine, but that one really gets my envious nerve twitching...
 
Had a bit of a Weihrauch day at the range this morning.
My plan 'C' red dot mounting has proved successful, but I have a plan 'D' in the works.

Also gave my new to me HW75 it's first try out at 10m. I had neglected to take along some Meisterkuglen 7.0 to try, but it still proved okay with some Bisley Practice flat heads.

They were cheap for me; I came second in an informal club bench-rest competition and won a £10 voucher for the local gun shop.
The pellets were £6 per tin, so it works out at ten shots per penny. 🤑
