Pardini All in One: a new Pardini conversion kit allows you to use 1 pistol for 3 events

The Pardini All-in-One pistol features a new universal frame for the SP-HP series pistols that is compatible with all newly manufactured models, transforming the trio of the prize-winning pistols into one true, convertible weapon system. Conversion kits are available and the latest generation pistols can be used in all ISSF 25-meter target shooting disciplines.

This change allows the user to purchase only one pistol and - if he or she wants to compete in all disciplines - two conversions at a cost that is significantly lower than that of three pistols purchase.

The conversion kits are sold individually in a special case and include a bolt, barrel-counterweight assembly, recoil spring with guiding rod, and 2 magazines for the caliber of choice. The conversion is a very simple operation that requires only one screw to be released.

The Pardini GPR1 rifle - so far offered in 3 versions (Basic, Top, and Pro) sharing the same mechanical settings – is now offered in the new Evo version, placed between the ones already in the catalog; it offers a “cryo- desmodromic” trigger made from cryogenically treated steel components.

An innovative hand-rest carries the best of both accessories supplied so far: a wooden body, particularly pleasant for the shooter's hand, and an aluminum peak, allowing the application of front counterweights as well as those contained inside. This accessory has been developed following specific hints from the Pardini Team shooters, especially Petra Zublasing (2014 AR40 World Champion with this weapon).
