I haven't really had a chance to ski my Pistols in any really decent snow this year, 2 feet at most, and it wasn't really ideal snow to compare. 195 B3s at Baker were awesome. When I was forced to ski on groomers, I found they weren't at all versatile, and I tried taking them in the park... yeah, don't. But then, if there's a bunch of fresh snow to ski, I wouldn't be anywhere else, anyways. Overall, I wouldn't want to own them if they were my only ski, obviously, but they really do live up to their reputation if you can handle that much ski (and the 195 is a TOTALLY different ski from the 185, besides the length). I'd rather have pistols for all around skiing though, than a b2, which is supposed to be the all around bandit. I seriously disliked those things.
