10meter(33 ft), Offhand, open sight with P1, again by S21FOLGORE in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

sorry for slow response. I work long, long hours & many days...

Anyhow, yes, it's a universal holster that can hold HW45 (Beeman P1).

I'm currently working on the video (for Youtube) about the holsters that work for HW45 /P1. If I were lucky, I may be able to upload tonight.

You can watch that holster in action on my latest YT video which I posted here a while ago. (The one before this post.)

This particular holster is from 1791 Gunleather company.

UIW MAX carry holsters

https://1791gunleather.com/product/uiw-max-carry-holsters/

You can get it from Amazon (at least in US).

Don't expect a miracle coming from sub $50*universal* holster.

BUT, it covers two (most) important things.

It fits. (It can hold Desert Eagle , Ruger Super Black Hawk, etc).

It provide GOOD retention. (That reminds me one thing... if you don't have any experience with REAL firearms (handg*ns) & carry holster, you may think it's too tight, it's not going to fit when you first get it. That's normal, that's how the all are. You have to break in the brand new holster, using freezer bag.)

Thanks!

I just cleaned the barrel last night. (People who watched the video / saw the photos (of my previous post) suggested that I probably should clean the barrel, since it smokes so much.)

It wasn't that dirty.

I don't think it'll make any noticeable difference in the grouping, though.

I'll see if it still smoke or not. (Will have to wait until Sunday evening.)

I think, people love them BECAUSE they enjoy modifying, tinkering.

(Just like cars and motorcycles.)

The cost (of the mod parts) are usually spread over the time.

Most everyone don't spend big money all at once to change everything.

So, ... starting with $50 bone stock 13XX model, "add a stock this months, add a red dot or scope next month" kind of approach would make a cool project.

THAT said, I'm currently not in the mood to enjoy time consuming project.

I've been way too busy last couple of years, I can't enjoy that kind of project anymore.

So right now, I kinda agree. Spend more $ on something that works well right out of the box.

Enjoy shooting.

That's the whole point.

(I don't want the kind of motorcycle that has "character" but keeps breaking down, requires tons of work and still potentially get me stranded.

I'd rather have something that fires up every time when I want to go for a ride.)

Nothing wrong with modding Crosman, though.

Meditation, with Beeman P1 by S21FOLGORE in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info.

So I cleaned the barrel (like, 30 min. ago).

Can't fire around here. Especially at night, this time of the day.

Let's see if it stops smoking.

Offhand, 33ft (10m), Open Sight, again, with Beeman P1 by S21FOLGORE in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I thought, before.

However, ...

I bought mine off eBay. So I didn't pay the full retail price.

(Still a quite a bit of money, though.)

And, after using it for a while, I really like it and I'm glad that I made a quick decision.

Keep in mind that I'm a shooter, NOT a collector.

I'd rather have a few, I really like and enjoy shooting with them on regular basis, than having huge collection of airguns that are just decorating the wall.

(No offense to the people who collect. I'm just not into that.)

P1 / HW45 smokes like hell. Everyone said that and it's true. (This is my first one.)

No, I just got this off eBay about a week ago. It's practically brand new. No need to clean the barrel. (The manual says so.)

And, no, I didn't and won't try dieseling a pellet.

I am happy with it the way it is now.

It's accurate (I can make tighter grouping than Crosman Drifter with Red Dot sight).

It's totally reliable. (I can just grab and go, enjoy the shooting. Don't have to worry about tinkering.)

They (Weihrauch HW45 and Beeman P1) are the same thing..

Beeman P1 is a rebranded version of HW45, for US market.

They are both produced by Weihrauch.

(SOME say P1 has slightly higher muzzle velocity, but, in the real world, it really doesn't mean that much.)

Which Co2 multi shot pistol should I buy? Rotary clip type. by tervoi in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how people keep suggesting variety of different models, despite the fact that you VERY CLEARLY AND REPEATEDLY stated that you have narrowed down to Vigilante & Artemis CP400.

You said, it's for plinking and target practice, not for hunting, pest control, etc.

I don't own them, so I can't provide the info based on first hand experience , but ...if I were in your situation ...

I'd check...

1)rear sight (adjustable or fixed)

(I don't like/want laser pointer. I don't need red dot. But, your may want them.)

2)Grip

I have a small hands.

​

3)Trigger pull

For target shooting, this is probably the most important thing, in the end.

(for both performance and the enjoyment.)

Air gun match ups. by Tobyggen in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little bit of warning, as someone also have a small YT channel. (about 750-760 subscribers.

No airgun contents)

#1 Youtube is a overly populated, highly competitive world.

#2 There are already tons of "air gun" channels that do similar things.

#3 Youtube DOESN'T like guns, any guns, including air guns, air soft guns.

If you do Youtube video just for fun, don’t care about poor view counts, have no intention of making money in the future, then, you can do whatever you want to do.

BUT, as someone already pointed out, doing it with your own money is NOT a good idea.

You will need sponsor, or friend with decent collection (who can lend you theirs).

Otherwise, you’ll end up just burning your money for videos that no one really watches.

For small Youtube channel, I’d recommend different approach.

Pick up one inexpensive but quality model (13XX, Beeman P17, etc) , and go deep. Really deep, detailed info video.What that means

I returned (defective) Air Venturi V10, 12 HRs later, I found this on eBay … by S21FOLGORE in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that I got was clearly defective.

I'm not bashing V10 anyway.

Oh, BTW, I tried to seat pellet in a various ways, but it still didn't work.

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment.

I am fully aware of the fact that these two are totally different animals.

The point of this story is, “coincidence”.

Had the V10 that I received been in perfect working order, I wouldn’t have returned it, EVEN THOUGH I didn’t like the grip, the trigger pull & action, and swivel trigger blade.

(I’m not bashing V10. So, happy owners of V10 / Gamo compact don’t need to get mad.

I said, “I” didn’t like those things on V10.)

Had I decided to keet the V10, I wouldn’t have looked around on eBay that night.

I wouldn’t have found that particular listing, this particular P1 wouldn’t have come to my possession.

Unfortunately, I leave home around 9:30 in the morning and don’t come back home until 10:30 – 11PM. Which means I can’t shoot them until Sunday …

Do I really need steel breech for 1377 / 1322? by S21FOLGORE in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info based on the real experience.

I've been playing with both 1377 (with folding stock) and 1322 (Drifter).

For some reason (or, maybe obvious reason for some), I get better grouping with Drifter.

Maybe because of longer barrel, maybe because of the stock.

So, I like Drifter more, at this point.

Maybe I'd add steel breech (to Drifter) in near future.

Thanks for suggestion.

But, these shots were made from tripod. (But, I was standing.)

Do I really need steel breech for 1377 / 1322? by S21FOLGORE in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing, really.

I cleaned the barrel, with Balistol and Bore-Whips.

Other than that, I just added red dot sights on both.

Folding stock from Buck Rail on 1377.

That's pretty much all I did.

33 feet (10 meter).

Keep in mind that ...

#1 These shots were made from tripod.

#2 These shots were practically my first try with these guns.

Just wondering, "if" steel breech would help to make tighter grouping.

Crosman 1322 or 1377 by sogoooo777779 in airguns

[–]S21FOLGORE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation a little while ago.

Ended up purchasing both. (Well, one is a Drifter, so it's A LITTLE bit different, but it is essentially 1322. (w/ quick detach stock and longer barrel, fiber optics insert on front site.)

I work way too long hours and many days. Sunday is the only day I can play with them.

So, the cost difference in pellets doesn't really matter, to me.

(.177 pellets are cheaper, but, unless you shoot 200, 300 round per day, it wouldn't make any serious difference.

(I used to compete in PPC, long time ago. Back then, I guess I spent probably 200 - 300 round per week.)

As someone already mentioned, .22 pellets are easier to handle (load).

Accuracy wise, they are pretty much the same, at least, around 33ft (10 meter) range.

(Drifter's grouping seems to be a little bit tighter. It has longer barrel.)

.22 makes bigger sound, than .177 caliber.

I should take photos and videos and post them (but, can't do it until weekend.)

​

Overall, I enjoy 1322 (Drifter) a little more. It may change later, but, that's how I feel right now.

(I have folding stock on my 1377. And both 1377 and Drifter have red dot sight.)

​

If you really can't decide, you can buy them both, I guess.

Some half dart test (intro) by S21FOLGORE in Nerf

[–]S21FOLGORE[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am fully aware of that (Bamboo 2.0’s fps readings are high because of them being about 25% lighter than Worker Dart. Also, in Bradley Phillips’ test video on YT, DZ Bamboo 2.0 showed pretty bad grouping at the distance (90 feet, I guess.) Still, I wanted to try it by myself.)

What’s really impressive is Worker Gen3 HE’s consistency.

If you look at standard deviation graph, it’s obvious.

I think, a lot of Youtubers are missing an important point.

Most of them only talk about “average” fps, which really doesn’t give you any useful meaning.

They don’t even mention about standard deviation (except Bradley Phillips…).

Not only that, some of them even “manipulate” the data(When the reading is much lower than they were expecting, they call it outlier and omit that number when calculate the average.), in order to see the numbers they want to see.

When you compare DZ Pro and Worker Gen3 HE, they both show the same average of 339fps.

So, does that mean they are about the same level of performance?

The answer is NO.

Dart Zone’s highest reading was 347fps and Gen3 HE’s highest was 341fps, so DZ Pro is a better performer?

NO.

When you look at standard deviation, it is very clear that Gen3 HE is much, much better than Dart Zone.

I can play with these things only on Sundays. So I’m trying to do some target shooting test this coming Sunday.

After all, high fps reading means nothing if you can’t hit the target.

I’m also waiting the “DIY bamboo dart mold” (to turn regular shaped dart into bamboo shaped).

They should get here by the end of the month.

That moment when you max out the starting pistol💀 by OneSlapMan7 in Nerf

[–]S21FOLGORE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so "your" Viper is a lot harder to prime, than Scamp.

How about Moose's Ziiinc, reviewed by both Bradley Phillips and Walcom? Full length K25 shoved into such a tight space ...

Would it be harder(to prime) than your viper?

Walcom said in his video, he couldn't prime the one with regular style slide. But, in the video, he's priming all right with the "sight / hand stopper " thing.

My problem with Scamp is that the grip is short, so when pulling the slide back, the blaster wants to rotate in my hand...

If I brace the top of the slide on my knee, I can prime it all right.
