Hi,
I'm contemplating getting back into competition with air pistol, and not sure what's out there. Brands I'm familar with are Pardini, Fiocci, Steyr, Feinwerkbau, and Walther. They have refillable compressed air cylinders.
What's available in the new and used market in Canada? Websites? Sorry but I've been out of match shooting for more than a decade and have fallen behind.

TIA
WM

I'd guess not much has changed in the last decade (other than more guns are available with electronic triggers)

I'm looking around. The biggest thing that's changed has been the prices... They want $3500 for an air pistol nowadays. The admin guy at Shooting Fed of Canada says prices have skyrocketed. No kidding. Time to sell some redundant firearms

I'm wondering if the prices on these skyrocketed because of the handgun freeze?

I suppose that could be the case, but I think they've gone up all over. Tried to get a price from a Czech company "sorry we don't sell weapons to Canada"

Most likely...
- Our loonie losing value to the Euro
- Small (read nonexistent) market in Canada.

Just checked Harvey's website (Airgunplus), he is showing some Steyr in stock... all $3k +. Tesro have one for $2500

Krale used to be Canadian friendly... but that was over a decade ago.

Yep. Harvey also has me on a watch list for used. Been a long time since I've shot a competition... Reading the ISSF rules Finals - music and encouraging the spectators to cheer... THAT is a change since ... 2006...

The euro connection would probably sell equipment - target equipment, computers and so on, but not pew pews.

To find a used 10M pistol, your best bet would probably be to send an email to the pistol director/coach of the various provincial shooting federation.

Also, have you checked with Jocelyn (Cible target Canada) ?

Not yet. Thank you for the suggestions. Oh wow. Just checked Targets.ca - Jocelyn passed away last month. Sad news. another staffer named Nick is taking over.
