    The link below is for the current NRA 'Gallery Rifle and Pistol' handbook that details all the rules and regs, each competition in detail and the class score X, A, B...etc.

    Thanks DB, it will save me reading the manual. I was brought up a class and I can't figure out why!

    "I was brought up a class and I can't figure out why"

    'cos you shot well and got a medal for your troubles. As I told you before just don't beat me or you'll never get..............(you know wot)................... again




    It is worth highlighting - in GR and Pistol Classifications - that the NRA Uk does not cover the full range of disciplines we have here.

    Obviously they do not have Smallbore Pistol or Centrefire Pistol (don't shoot them over there) so NASRPC sets their own levels there.

    Also - and I may need to be corrected on this - you score in the class you shoot into in a UK match (not just your first) - so, if you are D-Class and you shoot an X Class Score - you score in X class, on the day.

    Whereas in Ireland you score in the class you entered in and you score will affect your classification for your "next" match. So if you are in D-Class and you shoot an X-Class score - you score in D-Class and you next match you enter as X Class.

    On a personal note I think the system here on the classifcation is better as you may at least get a medal before getting pushed up into the higher class, as you did and myself. This leads to new-comers to the competitions sport not having to compete against people that have been shooting longer and therefore (should be) in a higher classifcation.

    One of my scores I was scored in the higher class even though u never shot good enough to be pushed up. No matter, ill just have to train harder and shoot better to get something from that class :-)

    Hi,

    Clivej - UK & Ireland are the same and we swap classificatiosn before major matches.

    If you are D Class today either here or the UK and you put in a X class score that does not take effect until the next competition.

    Grasncov - Send me a PM with the details and I will look in to, its possible a mistake was made.

    Regards

    DB

    The GP40, is there a holster required for it?

    Tx Tommy. Love shooting the Pardini, but it doesn't love any of the comps run for pistol shooters outside of the NTSA. :mad:

    LB6 I can't see why you can not shot your Pardini in all the other gallery handgun comps. that are started from the cooper or 45 degree position and don't need a holster.

    Your just looking for reasons not to enter and get ur ass beat ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭LB6


    They don't make holsters for the Pardini as it's not meant to be shot from the holster. I did get a velcro (fit all) one from DB, but it's still not working for it. Bar a bit of very exact plinking now, it's a bit of an expense when it can't be used in comps :-(

    NO excuses LB6 bring it down to the range next time your down. I'd say young cute-T will shoot it best.

    Travels in the car every time we go to the range Clive lol.....Just sometimes, it doesn't get to see the light of day :D

    Can you not get a speed rig holster for it. Something like a CR Speed Holster maybe? It only attaches onto the gun at the trigger guard? Maybe that would work?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭LB6


    I've looked at them all. Even the speed rig won't work. If you look at the shape of the Pardini, you'll see it's not really compatible with any holsters.....

    Is it possible to get a holster made or adapted for it? Someone else might have info but I thought there was a guy near the Curragh who made holsters?

    I'm not sure. I'm going to have to look into it further BC, if I'm going to be taking on "ZEE BOYS" lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭cw67irl


    Could you not just case it in a pistol slip case the same as a rifle shooter would?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 151 ✭✭ruger1894c


    Lb6 there is a guy in the curragh...saddle maker very good with leather and not too expensive if you can bring him a template he can make anything...made one for a walther before..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭LB6


    no cw - that won't work. Would have been nice and cheap if it had, but it would need to be specifically shaped to the gun to make extraction easy.

    I'm going to have to get some kind of a holster R, otherwise it's going to be adios Pardini and pick up something else that's a little more convenient. :eek:

    I adapted a cheap drop leg 'Airsoft' holster for my AW93 at works well enough. Looking at the image of your Pardini it could well be used as well
