Ready on the Right--Ready on the Left--Ready on the firing line
Thanks Denise. Most interesting. Certainly a highly specialized piece of equipment. My only experience with Sig/Hammerli is a high quality sidelever cocking spring/piston type air rifle in .177 persuation which I bought over 20 years ago. It being The socialist peoples republic of Massachusetts I had to show my FID just like a real gun!
Then again, you never know what can make a target quality gun. Once at a club in Vermont I met two young men who were having a friendly competition with rapid fire high power target rifle. Their rifles were top of the line complete with stainless steel with bull barrels, highest quality front and rear sights, even a wide nylon strap stretched between receiver and front sight to shield against heat mirage from the barrel. But the actions were Swiss Schmidt-Reuben straight pulls!
Did you know that Olympic games quality target pistols which have the magazine forward of the trigger are banned in California, as they consider any pistol with the magazine outside the grip to be an "eee-villll assault weapon"?
I want one.
I think you'll find that the reason why the Trailside isn't available at the moment is that Walther has bought Hammerli.
That being said, I'd bet that Walther will keep the target version in production. They need a mid-grade target pistol. The GSP, SSP, and Hammerli SP20 are superb, but costly.
What brand of mount are you using for the sight. I need to mount an Aimpoint, is the rail on top of the TS 22 a 3/8" like is found on most 22 rifles?
