Magazine caliber - Issue July/August 2024

The magazine within the magazine - 16 pages EXTRA - Match pistols: The 10 best 9x19 pistols for the BDS standard class.
The Bund Deutscher Sportschützen 1975 e.V. (BDS) is approaching 110,000 members.
The standard program for handguns, for which only pistols up to 1,300 grams total weight are permitted, is a permanent fixture in the huge sports program.
In addition to a new addition in the form of the STP TM 28 Skeleton, which is only available exclusively from B&H Waffenhandel, we have selected nine other all-steel match pistols that we have already tested, which meet the weight limit and are equally suitable for the DSB large-caliber precision discipline.

The STP TM 28 Skeleton comes from the southern German manufacturer STP and is distributed exclusively by the northern lights of B&H. In the test, it impressed with its high-quality workmanship, superb shooting performance and sophisticated single-action trigger system.

The bull-barrel barrel, which is around 18 mm thick, is cleanly fitted and ensures a lot of silence at the muzzle even before the shot - freehand, the PPU 124 Grains FMJ even achieved 194 out of 200 rings on the 25-meter course.

Hungry Spartan:
In the affordable STP Sparta series, there were previously only 1911s with a slim grip for single-stack magazines and correspondingly modest capacity.
The brand-new Sparta 5.0 Double Stack in 9x19, on the other hand, has a much larger appetite, as the double-stack magazine holds 19 cartridges. Find out here why this newcomer is not only interesting for shooters on a budget but also for those with small hands.

caliber conclusion:
The new high-capacity pistol in the STP Sparta series also lives up to the credo "A lot of gun for little money". The Sparta 5.0 Double Stack is characterized by good workmanship, function and shooting performance, paired with a trigger that is already appealing "out of the box". The price of €1,990 is therefore entirely reasonable.

Sissi, completely without Franz:
Austrian specialty - it doesn't shoot Mozartkugeln, but the STP Sissi match revolver based on S&W 686 was specially adapted to shooting sports disciplines of our neighboring country.

caliber conclusion:
At around 1.100 grams in single-action and around 3.700 grams in double-action mode, the match revolver knows how to impress.
The new .357 Magnum/.38 Special match revolver is an Austrian specialty due to its model designation and barrel length, but it could certainly appeal to gunslingers in other nations.
