Olympic Rapid Fire Pistol In-Depth Look - Pardini SP 22

Very insightful and informative as usual!

what an impressive piece of engineering, really interesting systems

This is the kind of gun that would be a wonderful retrofit as Mal Reynold’s gun for a legit working cosplay firearm. If only I could get one cheap to work on.

PardiniUSA is a generous supporter of CMP competitors—supporting them supports shooters, especially juniors!

The Pardinis are amazing guns to shoot. Nearly every aspect is tunable. Just wish there was a grip adjustment built in… there are aftermarket options, but shooting Steyr APs spoils a man for grip tuning.

US market is "special" (like special olympics) where they upsell the match gun by dressing it as a rifle for plinking.
And there are much more manufacturers - Morini, Walther, Benelli, Feinwerkbau, MatchGuns (by "That guy Morini" himself) but podiums speak for themselves. Paris 2024 was coverad in Pardini. And Pardini seems like a no brainer.

One more remark on speciality of US market - US team has no shooting medals at Olympics = US dealer gives zero $%#... attention to event. Last update about combo deal for stock and banana mag with ar style barrel shroud.
Meanwhile the main Pardini site proudly shows chinese champion with Pardini gun and 2nd and 3rd place as well Pardini - on the front page.

Man Jared, in just 5 days you've done so much work!! 🔥💪🏼

I would love to get one of these... I imagine they are not cheap though

At some point I’d like to see a comparison to the Benelli MP 90/95 - what does that extra cost of the Pardini get you?

Another great video. Jared got me back into bullseye after a 30 year absence. I hope these videos bring more people back into the sport. See you all at the range!

Just watching these videos makes me want to compete XD

That Pardini is one of my wildest wet dreams. I had the chance to fire a couple of rounds and it is smooth like silk.

Have you ever talked about Mateba? I love their guns and craftsmanship. My goal is to some day own a unica 6

This is one of those rare circumstances where form and function blend perfectly. Being accurate and incredibly adjustable, and also looking totally dope at the same time.

what's that red thing in the ejection port, some sort of safety block?

does the Pardini GT 9, 6 inch, Cal. 9 mm, Black, NRA, IPSC has the same technology for the recoil like that one?
is there any other gun in the market like that ? like regular pistol

Cross Country rifle when?

Very informative video please detail video on how to change stock & long barrel to make rifle

This is the second video of yours that I've seen, and you're now my second favourite gun channel after Forgotten Weapons. Very interested to see what else you explain.

Pardini USA is located close to me 😂

Super informative thanks and keep it up!

What brand or style of 22lr do competitors use? Is it up to the shooter or does it vary by event and discipline?

Would you be able to make a video about the Olympic skeet shotgun? I’ve been interested in trying one out.

I read that Keith Sanderson has a rapid fire gun with an electric trigger... Is that an option on this gun or was it a different gun entirely? Seems like it would aid in dry firing practice.

Have pity on us in Great Britain. Since a notorious mass shooting many years ago, we are not allowed by law to own firearm pistols. We used to have a very good Olympic Pistol Team, but since they had to get on a ferry and travel to Belgium in order to train, we no longer have anything strong other than 10m air pistol. If they change all the tules to Laser only, we might get a competitive team again.

Your content is great! Really insightful. We all learn a lot with your videos!

Skeletonized bolts decrease cycle time, no?

Another good job, thanks

Pardini was the Lamborghini of the target shooting guns.

Can't wait for Trex Arms to make an IWB holster for these


Jokes aside I do wonder if having a target pistol that fits your hand and shoots absolutely flawlessly has some merit as a self defense option.

👍 my favourite pistol (with 1911 a SIG ofc). nice channel, thank you for videos. subscribed

I see they make 5 and 6 inch barrels what size was in the video?

They should use the alien laugo 9mm change my mind.

Fantastic content. Thank you.

Don't point that on me, man.

Hey Jared, long time viewer here. I know you're a fan of old S&W K22s and their 1950s gun too. I'm wanting something that will give me a similar experience for quite a bit less money. What do you think about a .22 GP100 from Ruger? Or do you think I can just find a good deal on the older S&Ws anyway etc? I'd also like whatever you're thinking to be available in .357 so I could have the same ergos on a defensive piece. Edit: Thanks ahead of time :)

I really like your videos, Jared. This one brings me fondly back to my days shooting with my college pistol team (Army). We shot Pardini back in the late 80s, Hammerli free pistols, Springfields for the 45 competitions at Camp Perry. I would love to compete again.

Nice and clear video. Keep up the good work🤘🏻

This was a very good overview and explanation, thank you for putting it together

Rapid Fire use to be shot using .22 shorts. The targets were also human silhouettes.

Sure do wish the Olympics would do some real shooting sports…..they ought to do ipsc, 2-3gun matches, PRS long range rifle, etc.

Thank you so much!! I learned a great deal from your videos on Olympic pistols. Like you, I own a few pistols and would like to get involve with competitions however; I’m a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair so regular SPCA competitions is out of the question. Rapid fire air pistol is something worth looking into.

I'm not a gun expert (at all), but I'm Italian and I love that we are still strong with so many little artisanal high level brands here. We don't have many huge companies, but realities like Pardini which makes us strong in the world.

Can you tell how to shoot rapid fundamentals

Sad that this pistol is banned in Illinois...

There is no need to adjust the trigger to 1360g when shooting centre fire anymore. Both .22 diciplines and centre fire now use 1000g on the trigger as minimum. Just swap the barrel and bolt assembly, and you are good to go.

ISSF Centre Fire used 1000 gm trigger weight.😊

It seems like Pardini has really come to dominate the ISSF-style shooting competitions. Are most people running Pardinis now, or are there still competitors shooting Walther GSPs and Hammerli 280s?

I also have two pardini. The second is t he High TECH in British green. It is super....but the best of your video is .....your magnificent cat!😅
