Free Pistol Competition--Live in Fort Myers
I live in SW Florida.
Own an old Hi-Standard, which was one of the pistols the Olympians used at the time I was told. Purchased back in mid 1960s. Was stored for perhaps 35 years until we got out CCW permits, bought new self defense handguns, and I came across this old one. Fortunately, it had been pretty well preserved--a little rust, but a good cleaning and took it to the range, and it worked.
Remarkably well. Very accurate little pistol.
Just this week I came across the Free Pistol information. Sounds like it could be a LOT of fun. Thinking it would be a good reason to purchase a modern Free Pistol which can be extremely accurate. The competitive part sounds good to me, but the main competition would be to improve a personal "best."
I'd consider driving across the state, perhaps once a month, to do a competition if there were some people that would be interested.
Or better yet, perhaps there is a club in SW Florida where such a competition could be started. If not on a 50 meter range, even an indoor range would work for starters.
Let's see what develops on this thread and go from there.
