Which blank firer?

[dukeboy]

Hi all, I'm training my ess which is going well, he's 6 months now and i'm going to introduce him to gunfire, have used a cap gun in the back garden with no problems at all. I have an 8mm blank firer but not sure if this will be too loud or would i better better buying a .22 blank firer?

The relatively cheap 6mm Olympic revolver does the job...just use it on single action (Cock and fire) don't double action it too much and they last a fair whilst. Some dogs take to blanks other don't...but if you're using a cap gun you're halfway there. You can fire it within a game bag at first to dampen the sound . The semi autos are nice bits of kit but push the price up

Yea had saw those, think they were around 35, just wondered if the 8mm would do as i already have it. Good tip about firing inside the bag to muffle it

[PERCE]

You can get a emge for not much more & they're considerably better. The revolvers are truly ****.

This is the one I have. Seems pretty good although I didn't buy it from this store.

Like the man says, blanks are a lot cheaper for them also. Bet my Olympic has done a few thousand
