Practical Pistol Practice: Air Gun Style

Shooting Wire: Action Airgun Competition Worldwide

Jim Shepherd, in his Monday (September 22, 2008) article, writes about the joy of practicing Practical Pistol with an Airsoft pistol.
It's actually a kit (available for 'under $300, but not by much') consisting of:

  • a 1911 pistol, same weight as the Real Thing, that shoots airsoft pellets
  • pellets
  • gas cartridges
  • targets
  • "target holders"
  • A timer which is especially sensitive -- it can pick up the sound of the pistol's discharge
I'm not sure what else is available in the kit, but apparently it's everything needed to simulate action pistol shooting in your garage.

I'm so pleased to report that The Shooting Wire is now posting their ENTIRE daily (almost) articles online, including Jim Shepherd's reports.

If nothing else, that allows me to link to their website rather than to copy-and-paste Shepherd's article while worrying that I can only actually copy "this much, and no more" of the content without worrying that I am violating his/their copyright protection.

I don't know how long they have archived their three-times-a-week (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) webmail posts; it's a relief that they are doing so now. Here's a big Geek Thank You to the folks at The Shooting Wire.
