cold fingers
O.k. I'll relieve the boredom with a question.
Where is the ideal point of balance in a pistol used in target shooting and how does one (A) locate it ? and (B)Resolve any imbalance found.

Re: cold fingers
There's no ideal balance point really, it's personal preference. To shift it forwards you add weight to the front of the gun or move weight forward... And vice versa. Many match pistols have a system of barrel weights that can be adjusted for position. Failing that you can use anything appropriate. For example some have stuck lead wheel balance weights inside the frame of a Gamo Compact.beeker:799 wrote:O.k. I'll relieve the boredom with a question.

My ROHM centre of balance is just in front of the trigger, and I find this just about right.
I do like the bulk of the weight in the grip.

balance point
the wheel balance weights is an interesting idea.
Hope my cars handling wont be affected too much when I remove them :P :lol:

Re: Balance
I managed to source some wheel balance weights today and temporarily fitted in various amounts till I was comfortable with pistols grouping on target. Seems I am better with muzzle heavy format too.zunmik:804 wrote:I like my guns muzzle heavy & i have put wheel balance weights on many of my pistols including compacts, M.
Thanks

Model flying accessories suppliers have small sticky backed weights, about 1cm x 1cm usually, which would be ok for small tweaks.
