Air pistol

With the changes in handgun legislation, there has been a rise in the number of Club members shooting air pistol. There are two types of discipline being shot at the Club.

The first, and more popular, are the slow-fire single-shot precision competitions. These air weapons used tend to be pneumatic, CO₂ or compressed air, and tend to have wooden contoured grips and fully adjustable sights, on a longer than normal sight base. Makes such as Walther, FAS, Hammerli and Rohm are common.

The second, and newer discipline, involves competitions that are the timed and include rapid fire sequences. These competitions developed out of the old full-bore pistol competitions, such as "Police Pistol I" and "Service B". One of the most popular air pistols currently being used at the Club for timed and rapid fire competitions, is the German "Walther CP88" air pistol. The CP88 is used with 8 shot pellet magazines and are powered by 'Sparklets' cylinders that fit into the handgrip.
