Pistols in the Olympics
I have a friend who recently acquired a Ruger Charger and says the charger was used by the USA Olympic team to win a gold medal. Sounds pretty far fetched to me but i am not certain. can anybody shed some light on this. I thought that High Standard was the only U.S. made pistol to ever win in the olympics.


velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

Thanks for the info butchloc, I felt the same way but my info wasn't up to date.

What about the Free Pistol event? Don't they still have it? In any case, I doubt the Charger has the accuracy requirement, leave alone holding it at arms length, off hand!
