I've seen the plastic MTM models that are cheap and have a similar concept but are much harder to adjust. I couldn't remember the name so I did a quick search for "pistol rest" and found what looked like a few different products that were better made metal with easier adjustments.

Years ago I was pondering what would make a good rest and I was thinking something that supports the gun and bottom of your hands, but also something to set your forearms on closer to your elbows. When I put the wrest on a bench I end up bending over to get lower and that puts my face too close to the rear sight. So I was thinking the ideal rest would have your torso upright meaning the various support points would be higher than if they were setting on an ordinary bench.

There it is! (reply)

Thank you!

It is strange that this wasn’t an issue once upon a time, but that is beyond my ken…..

As usual, I see nothing, nothing…. (reply)

Wait, is that Colonel Klink? Or Colonel Hogan?[img]

Last night I had the pleasure of writing a review on a Caldwell Chronograph. And telling the folks who were complaining because their iPhone didn't have the technology to connect to the chronograph that they should get an iChronograph.

I need to set myself an iReminder to make sure and use the full URL of pics I post instead of just using the abbreviated (why is that such a long word?) form that the system uses.

My friend Denis made a pair of relatively identical pistol rests, one of steel and one of aluminum. Both of them consist of a solid platform for my hands and an adjustable padded V-fork arresting the barrel. Three legs are adjustable and I mostly use the one with the aluminum platform the steel version is so heavy.

As he pointed out it has been rather quiet around here, so I have a question for him.

You shoot really great groups when testing handguns, and I'm very impressed. What type of rest do you use? Any recommendations for a good pistol rest?

Thanks!!!!!!
