Every bought a new car when the old one still ran OK? I know I have bought new cars when the prior one didn't have 100K miles on them.

I still had some 27" tube TVs that worked just fine, but I recycled them anyway.

I know people that renovated their kitchen, when the old one was still perfectly capable of supplying food on the table.

Hell, I know people that got a new spouse, and their prior one wasn't even dead yet, and still appeared functional!

Are the people that buy stuff that they want, but don't need, all trying to buy "points" in life, or maybe they just don't want to hoard their money, and just go purchase what they might enjoy.

Nobody Needs more than basic necessities, but some of us like to dabble in newer/different anyway.

Well, yes, but in my case .. my trigger is creating problem and grip IS a problem!



This is exactly what I was shooting - because, literally my trigger "broke". It became so so so so hard - that I had to tinker it.
Also before I tried fixing the grip because it was paining.
That was still me - with an AP 20 Pro Hammerli. The gun broke.

I understand the sentiment of all of you guys..but I just did one of the great failures of my life, because 7 days before the state competition my gun broke. And I was shooting these prior to that. Even with the broken gun I was shooting this:


But in the competition - I shot 328. Take that. It is everlasting shame for me.
And I do not like to be that way.
Hope you all understand. There should be 0 excuse from me, whatever comes next.

BTW Hammeri/Walther is pretty much same thing.

Yes! Thank you - and yeah I know I can now reuse the 2 Cylinders. But in my case no one gave me a Small grip and the trigger broke.
In fact Hammerli AP 20 has a history of the trigger becoming tight.

My comment about Hammerli/Walther was not about cylinder use. If you are not happy with Hammerli design and quality, I doubt you would be in love with the Walther trigger either.

Is it possible that your trigger didn't break, but just broke in, and needs a slight adjustment to get it back to like new? Do you have enough play in your over travel after sear release?

OMG - I scored 377/400 using that Hammerli. Personal best 97/100. So no question about quality.
And yes, we all tried playing with the travel after sear release - and I think I have to send it for servicing.
I believe, the manual suggested to use oil free grease, and I did use some - which locked it up. Once we oil the pellet loading tray,
the trigger becomes smooth for 1~2 months or so.
I have no doubt in the quality of the Hammerli - or Walther LP 500. It is just that ( probably due my own stupidity ) my gun went bonkers.

I bought the P8X (thought you would like to know)

If it can get out of sequence just transporting it, I wonder if can happen in the middle of a match. Taking the grips off and coaxing it back in place would not be a confidence booster at an important match.
