Using a .209 blank pistol is a great way to save a few bucks:
209 shotgun primers are very inexpensive compared to other blanks.
209 shotgun primers are pretty easy to find locally.
We DO NOT sell the 209 primers since they are VERY expensive to ship because of additional handling fees. Make sure you can get them locally. Any good gun shop will have them for folks that reload shotgun shells.
Double Action means that you can "cock" the starter pistol and fire it or you can pull the trigger without cocking the hammer. It will fire either way - that's Double Action.
This blank pistol is our highest-quality primer pistol. This is what I use for my dog training.
Gun Dog Supply supply has always provided quality products, services, in a very timely manner. They are my go to for all of our upland and retriever needs.

Just what I needed
March 12, 2023
Needed a new pistol for field trialing and training. Thought it might be a bit louder than my old 209 primer pistol but my dog is used to hunting and it was perfect and functional. No problems or misfires. Arrived in a few days with regular shipping so could use it that weekend. Thanks for great service and timely delivery! Completely satisfied.

I'm a pro trainer and have used several brands of primer and blank pistols over the years and none have held up, some malfunctioning almost from the get go. These were all much less expensive and several people told me to bite the bullet and get the Alfa. Well built. Functions smoothly and flawlessly so far. Get the holster. To much gun for a pocket. You get what you pay for and so far I'm happy with the product. Would have given 5 stars but I haven't used it long enough yet.
Pros
Seems like a very well made product.

Great Kit
October 26, 2022
Bought for Starting track meets. Works great and is cheap to shoot. The primers are much cheaper than the .32 shells I was using.
Pros
Cheap to Shoot
Works Great
Cons
The holster is tight. Will take a little time to stretch out to get the gun to comfortably go in.

Good Starter Pistol
September 9, 2022
Have only used the pistol a couple of times so far but performed well and was easy to use.
Pros
Ammunition is low cost.
By Bob G.

Solid and well built. Nice holster.
April 19, 2022
Probably the best built training pistol I have ever owned. Now if we could just get some 209 primers from GDS, that would be even better.
Pros
Solid construction. Good grip. Nice holster.
Cons
Not a con, per say, but I wish GDS would get some 209 primers back in inventory.

I had problems with another brand of starter pistols. Hoping this one lasts longer. Seems like the quality is better. The other brand eventually the 209 primers wouldn't fire. I assumed it was the firing pin. The other brand would just send me a new one. The other brand should last more than 100 rounds

GUN IS AWESOME! HOLSTER NOT SO MUCH.
May 9, 2021
THIS IS MY 3RD PURCHASE FROMM GUN DOG FOR STARTER PISTOLS. THIS IS MY 2ND 209 BECAUSE THE FIRST IS STARTING TO MISFIRE, SO I AM SENDING BACK FOR REPAIR. IT IS 3 YEARS OLD.
MY 32 AND NEW 209 WORK GREAT!
HOWEVER, MY HOLSTER I BOUGHT WITH THE LATEST PURCHASE HAS ALREADY BROKE! THE SNAP HAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE FEMALE PORTION OF THE SNAP. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED SO I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING IT REPAIRE/REPLACED SINCE IT WAS ONLY A WEEK IN POSSESSION WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE OTHER ONE HAPPENED TO A YEAR-OLD HOLSTER AND I HAD A SHOE SHOP REPAIR IT.
PLEASE NOTE I LOVE THE GUNS!
THANKS,
ERIC C VONBERG
Merchant Response:Greg,

The Alfa 209 .32 caliber starters pistol is the best I've ever used. I'd suggest getting the kit for easier transportation and cleaning on the spot. I use a few drops of gun oil also. Great buy!

209 training pistol.

This is a quality piece. A bit pricey but worth it. Accompanying holster is also high quality. The 209 primer system is very economical to shoot and is surprisingly loud. Very happy with this purchase.
Pros
High quality
Economical to shoot
Surprisingly loud
Cons
Price is a bit high but worth it.

All around great experience
September 28, 2020
I needed some extra help in purchasing a starter pistol for track and field. The people here were top notch in helping me get what I need. This Alfa 209 was exactly what I needed, and I used it to start my first cross country race this passed weekend. I had no issues with this pistol using it right out of the box, and I look forward to using this for many more races. Thanks so much!
Pros
Great customer service
Fast shipping
Cons
Holster was a little stiff but just needs some breaking in

Review for Alfa 209 Primer Pistol Starter Kit
September 1, 2016
Extremely well built. It's a bulky gun. Only real down side is you can't see how many rounds are spent without opening the cylinder and you need to take every primer out. Very difficult to take the spent primers out without taking all of them out of the cylinder.

So easy to use. Well made and isn't some flimsy piece that will fall apart after some use. We've put a bunch of primers through the pistol and everything is working as expected. A great tool for training and will definitely recommend this to others.

Pistol is great. Easy to use. Great, consistent strikes every time. Holster takes a while to break in (still in the process), but very sturdy nonetheless. The ease of finding primers vs. blanks for me at my local Cabelas was a no brainer when choosing which Alfa pistol I was going to buy.
