I just purchased a nice Pardini SP and have a few questions since the user manual isn't very detailed. CAN you dry fire the gun once in a while? (same old question) 2.
How often do you clean it? The manual mentions that the factory-applied oiling sould not be removed. What ammo is best in terms of accuracy and reliability (.and availability in Canada.) Thanks for your help! Sure you can dry fire the gun all the time, if you don't want to damage the firing pin, use a dry fire plug (ie, the little plastic plug that comes with it). I clean it every thousand rounds or so, depends on if I remember:-) It is not a finicky gun. I shoot Eley Target Pistol (yellow box) for matches, and the cheap Eley Practice (white box) for training. But I've also shot Lapua Pistol King, it is also excellent (but much more expensive).
I shoot Eley mainly because it is cheap, and of course, it also functions quite well, but it IS very dirty ammo. Congratulations on your new SP. I think you'll be very happy with it. It's a fantastic gun with an absolutely exceptional rolling trigger. My experience with my SP has been mostly in NRA-style.22 gallery.
I have an Aimpoint 30mm red-dot mounted on mine using the modified rings Don Nygord used to sell. (Ordinary rings won't grip the SP securely enough to work.) I love my SP, enough so that I also bought the HP (in.32) and am now thinking about buying a second SP to dedicate to shooting iron sights for international rules. As already suggested, you can dry fire as much as you like using the plastic plug that comes with the gun. I generally clean only once a season. With good ammo, it doesn't get very dirty, so it really won't need cleaning very often. When you do clean it, you'll need to run at least 10 or 20 'fouling shots' through it before the gun will settle down again.
Never just clean the gun, then go straight into a match! You'll be very unhappy with all the flyers. I shoot Federal Target for practice and Federal Match in competition. Both feed very reliably and perform more than adequately for my needs, shooting in the 270s and occasional 280s out of 300. If I was into the 290s, maybe I'd be more inclined to spend more on ammo to get another couple points.
I find the most significant difference between Target and Match ammo is the number of duds. In competition, I'm willing to spend a little more to avoid alibis. The one brand of ammo I can attest will not work in a Pardini is CCI, which, curiously enough, was the only ammo that would work in the gun I started with, a S&W 22A. The CCI is a little too long for the Pardini magazines, causing endless failures to feed.
Can't agree that CCI ammo doesn't work - fits in mine, groups under 25mm @25m, havent had a malfunction yet and is economical to boot! Perhaps I should have been more specific. My experience was with CCI blue label; I've heard that CCI green does work for some people (though I've never tried it myself.) Also, as usual, YMMV: Every gun is a little different, so what works in one might / might not in another. That said, if you're using CCI blue in an SP and it works, I'd say that's very unusual based on comments from other users (including those on this board.) But you're right, if it works, great, because it is cheap. Hi All, Since we are on the topic of ammo in the Pardini's again, here is a copy of a post I did a while ago.
I didn't do a 'test', these comments are based on actual practice and match results from using the ammo in 3 different SP/SPE's over the time frame of 1985 through current date in all different weather and temps. I'm have updated this with additional information I have found since the last time I have posted this.
I do want to stress that almost any brand of 22LR standard vel will group well enough to clean targets at 50' and 25 yards. The most important thing is that the ammo you choose to use works in the pistol 100% of the time and is also as close as you can get to going bang 100% of the time.
If you shoot a 9 or even an 8 because your ammo groups a little larger but you are able to get all your shots off, your better off than the person on the side of you that chose ammo based on group size only, had a failure to fire and is now down 10 points because it didn't go bang. Hope it helps, Tom (From 2005, original post May 2004) Hi, I have been shooting SPE's and SP's since the 80's.
This is what I have found with the ammo that I have tried. They are one of the least ammo sensative pistols I have ever used. At 50' to 25M, they all group well enough to clean targets if you do your part. Honda s2000 cold air intake.
I currently use Aguila SE Subsonic for practice and 50' NRA, I switch to Eley or RWS for the more important or longer yardage matches. Eley: Works well, (except the new Tenex/EPS style bullet. The first round hangs up and slows feeding but #2-5 will chamber and fire) Eley shoots good to great depending on how much you spend. RWS: Works well, shoots good to great. Again, depending on grade. The recoil seemed to vary between cases over time, never checked the vel #'s with a crono though. SK: Works well however the subsonic, while I have found they go bang all the time and shoot well they don't fully cycle 100% when the gun is 'cold' ie: first few shots.
Shoots well to great. Again, spend more, get more. Weard feeling lube and lots of it.
Wolf: Same as SK as it's the same plant that makes it. Costs less most of the time and I have noticed that the 'target' shoots slightly better than the 'match' at the shorter distances however on the long targets, use the match. PMC Pistol Match: It works, Shoots OK. On par with the low end Europian stuff. The lot I tried did not go bang 100% of the time.
Score Master: Lots'a recoil, loads of flash but boy does it punch big holes on the paper, not 100% reliable going bang. CCI Standard: Doesn't work in any of the SPE or SP's that I have. Anyone else's I have seen either. It's too long to feed in the mags. Green Tag: Works, lots of recoil, big flash. Shoots well, compare to low to mid-range Eley. Keep your mags clean as the bullet points drag slightly in the mag, powered graphite helps them feed in the mag.
Pistol match: Functions, shoots less well than Green tag. I was disappointed. Less flash but heavy recoil.
Same mag issues as the Green Tag Remington Target: Cheap and loud. Punishing recoil and flash.
Beats the early SPE's to death. Does not go bang all the time.
Super clean, very little residue, some people go a year or more between cleanings using Remington. (a side note, I have a Anschutz small bore rifle that will shoot one hole with this ammo and horribly with Eley or SK, go figure but it sure keeps my small bore cost's down.) Made by Eley type: See Eley comments. Federal 711B Cheap, soft recoil, Neither the flat or 'Dimple bottom' were reliable as a match round.
I turned in the remaining bricks for credit at the gun store. (yes they were that bad, about 2 out of every 10 were duds) Aguila SE Std Vel: Cheap, shoots well, reliable if kept dry in storage and warm in cold shooting conditions. Average recoil, bit of flash. A bit greasy, it leaves some residue in the mags. I have heard reports that the newer lots aren't as reliable as the old stuff. SE Subsonic: Same as above except with much less recoil and flash. May not cycle in all guns.
I currently use this for my NRA 50' matches. Virtual dj 3 djc edition. GE and Match: Same as above but tighter groups at longer yardage sometimes, not always. A special note on Aguila. The ammo is produced in one of the most humid areas of the world, it's stored in Texas, again, a very hot and humid area. Storage of the product before you get it seems to be an issue.
I purchase all my Aguila in Feb or March in order to take advantage of the drier climate at that time and store it in US Mil ammo cans with a desicant. Check the diameter of the CCI cases. I believe it is fractionally wider than most other brands which causes problems in tight chambers. Regards the length problems, the CCI sold here is Oz is obviously still of the long type because it will not chamber in some free pistols at our club. I think the main thing is with any handgun, try plenty of different types of ammo and when you find the one that has least misfires and best groups, then stick to it. It is gun by gun thing and what suits one pistol will not necessarily suit one of the same make and model. I am still using a Unique DES-69U and while I usually use Ely or Fiocchi ammo which work the best, everything cycles through it except Winchester which has too many misfires.

Others have Uniques which just love Winchester ammo. Just to add to what Tom said, the AguillaSE is well worth a try for the average user.
There may be better ammo out there but this stuff would be a bargan at twice it's $10 /brick price. My Pardini needed a good cleaning lube and a couple of hundred breakin rounds before I switched from the Blue /std velocity to the Purple/Subsonic. Now even the subsonic gives me boreing reliability (until the gun gets dirty every 600-700 rounds or so.) p.s. Have also watched Tom consistantly kick butt with that 'mexican ammo'.
Enought to know that my 8's are not the ammos fault!

PARDINI SP/HP TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTING THE PARDINI SP/HP TRIGGER This pistol is designed to have a two stage pull and most shooters who take the time to get acquainted with a two stage system end up liking it and doing better than with the American “High Standard/Model 41 ” trigger. To use a two stage pull, you pull through or “take up” the longer “1st stage” quickly to where you feel the sudden increase in resistance which is the onset of the “2nd stage” which is short and crisp.
As the 2nd stage is “squeezed” through more slowly, the gun fires. The take up of the 1st stage is automatic on recoil during timed and rapid fire and becomes hardly noticeable in a very short time. Lets take the Owners manual in hand and open it up to the middle of the book where it shows the trigger mechanism and the instructions on adjustment. As we will be doing lots of “dry-firing” be sure the dry fire plug is in the chamber of the pistol on the SP (not really necessary for the HP.) We need to start with screw “CP” which accessible only after taking the grip from the gun.
The SP trigger Assembly 1. Back out screw “CP” counterclockwise about 2 turns. Back out strews “PG” and “TS” counterclockwise about 2 turns. At this point you should have play between the trigger bar/dis-connector and the sear and you should have plenty of sear engagement with the hammer. You may or may not have two stages to the trigger pull. Back out “PS” counterclockwise about 2 turns. Back out “CS” a couple of turns.
Now you should have a long continuous creepy pull with lots of “free-play” or take-up. At this point, while the trigger pull is like that of a double action revolver, you will at least have a “safe” gun. Now lets refine: 4. Turn “CS” in clockwise until you feel the “2nd stage” appear about at the end of the pull.
(You will have contacted the spring loaded ball bearing inside “CS”. The load on this ban is determined by “PS”.) You can fine tune the length of this “2nd stage” by tiny adjustments in “CS” until you get the kind of feel you like. Most shooters want this to be “crisp” or in other words a short 2nd stage (the part you squeeze off at the end of the pull). Now there are two parts to the “front” part of the pull. Or “1st stage”. The initial part is the taking up of the gap between the trigger bar and the ear of the sear – this is usually called the “free play” The other part is the real “1st stage” and in this pistol design you are sliding the sear almost all the way out of the hammer notch during this stage.
YOU MUST HAVE SOME OF THIS “1st STAGE”!! The most common error in trying to customize the feel of the trigger on this gun is to “dial out” all the 1st stage and make the trigger like a Model 41. This is what makes the gun “double” and not hold. We control this amount of sear engagement and thus the “1st stage” with screw “CP”. Turn in screw “CP” so you have some definite 1st stage travel (after the free play take-up). Leave as much of this travel in as you can tolerate.
At the end of this 1st stage travel and before the hammer falls you will contact the spring loaded ball bearing and be at the 2nd stage which is short and crisp. If not, go back to 3 and 4 and play around until you do. Now turn in screw “PG” to adjust the free play or take-up.
Make sure that the trigger bar will go up into position after the gun is cycled and the trigger released and then leave just a tiny bit more for reliability. Now we are ready to adjust the weight of the total pull. This is to be 2 lbs. For NRA rules and 1000 grams for UIT rules (2 l/4Ibs). The weight of the 1st stage is controlled by the sear spring (which is essentially non adjustable) and by screw “PP”. The weight of the 2nd stage is controlled by screw “PS” which is inside “CS”. The total weight is usually divided up equally between the 1st stage and the 2nd stage.
This makes the pull “self-calibrating”. When you are in a match, the arousal level often creates deceptive sensory input and one day the trigger will feel very heavy and another day very light. With this kind of set-up at least you know that when you take up the 1st stage you have applied 1/2 the required pressure. This can be very comforting in a major match where you don’t want to be too conservative on the trigger and lose time and yet also don’t want to “shoot a snake in the nose” while at the 45 degree ready position. So, turn the appropriate screws the appropriate amount until you get the balance of weights on 1st and 2nd stage you prefer. Finally, lets adjust the over-travel of the trigger after the hammer falls.
This is done with screw “TS”. Turn it in until you have the amount of over-travel you prefer (you have to leave some, you know!) This information was gleaned from information provided by the late Don Nygord – as posted on TargetTalk.
