precihole taurus P50 air pistol and my foolishness

[vijaykage]

Hi Guys,

I bought my first air gun 'precihole taurus P50 ( rust free) .22 cal, delivered on last Thursday(10 sep 2015) after a month of wait. I bought it from 10kya.com for 4600 ( also 700 INR internal credit).

I used 700 INR internal credit of 10Kya.com to purchase pellets which were delivered on friday.

So on Thursday in excitement without reading user manual i shot 6 rounds without any pellets(Dry fire) later to discover(from user manual) that dry fire may cause internal damage to pistol.

I was too worried that I might have ruined my first air pistol and was pretty anxious till pellets arrived on friday. But luckily it seems precihole P50 is sturdy enough to cover my foolishness.

It is firing awesome, already fire 100+ pellets... it is making grouping very well from distance of 20 feet.

Just I thought to share this foolishness in this forum, so that new users like me can get some benefit.

Do anybody of you ever ruined your spring air pistol by dry fire?

Hi Vijay,
You are lucky!
You should have read the manual first before even firing the first pellet.....anyway better late than never!
Also remember "Not to leave the pistol cocked" when not in use.....as this will weaken the spring, leading to loss in velocity.

I can't find this air pistol with a web search.

Anyway, congrats on the new air gun!
