BASICALLY…. The best tool would be any thing that you can make, rig, fabricate or fashion to resemble a minature “pickle fork” tool like the type a mechanic uses to seperate a ball joint or tie rod….

Here’s what I use. (I have a couple of these…Read more

Now I can de-cock with ease and I enjoy my preference for a manual safety too! Hoot:

I’ll definitely look for your posts with the insert velocity data. Looks like the 22 will be my next barrel on this gun.

I agree that the valve is more suited to the .22 than a .177 and, with so many good .22 pellet choices (actually more than .25 choices) including some pretty heavy .22 pellets, I’m sure I’d find some .22s that shoot accurately…Read more

The OEM gauge is also hard to read and a larger, wider scale arc would be useful too. Be aware that many gauges are not rated for steady full pressure indications. For example, from the Wika datasheet:

Pressure limitation
Steady: 3/4 x full scale value
Fluctuating: 2/3 x full scale value
Short…Read more

Love it! Thanks randy_68 and all other contributors here. Now my TalonP works like my other guns and I believe it to be an operationally safer gun without the auto-safety feature, given the new ability to simply de-cock rather than accepting discharge as…Read more

I agree. I have a new TalonP and haven’t even had time to shoot it yet. I suspect that the safety will still work as expected after…Read more

Anyone who has experienced “M1 Thumb” from intimate use of the Garand Rifle can likely appreciate the attributes of this mechanical feature!

Yeah–I’ve had M1 thumb. :3: I didn’t get it from operating the rifle, however; I got it when taking chamber measurements with a Hornady/Stoney Point Gauge. My thumbnail turned…Read more
