Wow pardini rules at the world cup 22 caliber

Wow just read that 90% of the 22 caliber shooters in the world cup used Pardini pistols. In 2016 6 out of 6 winners used a Pardini. Says alot about the quality of this pistol. Called them 2 times for info. They answered in one day. Great customer service. I love there triggers. Just about an 1/8 inch of creep and it seems to be about a 2 pound trigger. It's even more adjustable but I like it like that. Kept 4 out of 5 in the black today. Single hand shooting at 50 feet. I will only get better with practice. Not one problem so far with the pistol out of 400 rounds shot. The European grips take some getting use to. I think I like the 45 style grips better but time will tell.I also like how easy it is to dry fire the pistol with the dry fire plug in. The two thing I don't like is if you have to eject a live round the magazine has to be in and you must removed magazine to get shell out. The other thing I don't like is the bolt don't stay back after you shoot your last round. You must count the 5 rounds you shot. The Aimpont H2 red dot works nicely on the pistol but having a little problem picking up the red dot . I wished it had a bigger field of view.. Practice should help
Very happy with my purchase I would buy the pistol again.

What kind of grip is that? Who made it?

Is that a 1911 45 style grip ?

I might fall a sleep with that grip. Lol

The angle is close.

So you're saying the new Pardini SP's don't lock back after the last round? That's surprising to me but I've never owned one.

I have a 2014 SP and an older HP and neither one locks back.

Bill

No they don't lock back after the last round. You must count your 5 rounds shot. Takes some getting use to but no big thing.

It's hard to beat this 5 shot group at 50 feet I was amazed how accurate this pistol was. Off sand bags using CCI standard velocity 40 grain ammo. That's a 3 inch dot about the same size we use for indoor bullseye shooting. Think of it this way. That group is just over the diameter of the bullets I shot. Sorry for the three of the same picture. Still learning how to use my smart phone. Lol

Nice guy.

Yes it is, very impressive.   Now post some photos of your offhand 10 shot groups on the indoor 50' B2 target.   

Will do. That's a whole different ball game but the pistol can keep them all in the x ring if I eat my wheaties. Breakfast of champions.. Lol

I've had one for about a 14 months and love it. Mine has been very reliable in the way malfunctions. I think they are built to last, I was on the phone with Alex C. from Pardini USA last week, he told me that he has shot over 300K rounds out of his. Mine is brand new with only a combined round count of 22 LR and 32 ACP of 14K. I'm looking forward to many years of service with it!
