Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I'm hunkering down and getting bored. No CAS anywhere for a while. I shot International Air Pistol in competition for a long time until moving to WV, where it is not done near me. Shot it in my basement for a while until starting local IDPA, trap and ASI. Recently all nearby competition shooting has stopped due to the Kung Flu. Sold my air pistols after moving (Walther CP3 and a Bakial IZM). Managed to keep a Daisy 717 for kicks. Anyhow, thinking about setting up another basement air gun range and am wondering if anyone has experience with the latest pneumatic single-stroke air pistols. Not interested in spending 2K for a really good one (compressed air type and having to fiddle with tanks) but would like a decent gun. Seems like all the remaining single-strokes are mostly for plinking. Air Venturi ( mod V10) and Chippia (mod FAS 2004) still make what it possibly seems like I'm looking for in the $3-400 range. Don't want to buy an older used good quality gun and then have to deal with seal/repair issues. Meanwhile, will phart with the Daisy. Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions on the matter; thanks.

Snake-eye, SASS#45097 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Howdy Church Key! Good to hear your doing well. You may want to consider the C02 SAA. Great for practice indoor or outside. About $100 each. Get two for practice and you to can shoot gunfighter.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 NAH!! Skip the Air Pistols. Source up a couple boxes of reloadable rubber bullets. Drill out the primer pockets for "Primer Only" use. Make a "bullet trap" out of a good sized cardboard box with a really heavy bathroom towel to stop the rubber baby buggy bumpers. Use your match pistols for your practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Finally decided on a Sig Sauer ASP Super Target. It is similar to the FAS 6004 except for the grips and opening catch. Shaped like a Sig P210 and is made by Chippia in Italy. Deciding point was the Sig five year warranty plus Amazon availability. The FAS is hard to find. Cost $368.
