Well-made video and a nice bit of shooting, thumbs-up and keep it coming.

Well JR that is pretty much my position and understanding of the rules, and if a deviation is decided by the federation, there should be a clear announcement to all competitors... To clarify, I am not a judge, just a complaining competitor, I was just put in my place by the "judgement" com...

To my cries that the rules say "must be .22LR" so no personal judgement required, the answer was that in the English language, "must be" is more of a suggestion, while "has to be" is the definite wording to disallow something...... Any comments? "Must be" nee...

Joel One of the beauties of free pistol is that there aren't many rules to comply with I can only think of:- 1) Mustn't touch beyond the hand 2) Only open sights 3) Must be fired by the hand holding the gun 4) Must be .22LR 5) Must be safe 6) All components for electronic triggers must be contained...

Having shot several hundred rounds through an abused club owned MP95E, I never noticed such a gap.

But you got the idea OK.

It was a "test" of the Hammerli 280.

According to Steyr's instructions cant and rake cannot be adjusted at the same time, so you will have to make a choice which one is more important to you. While the video does say that, it is actually possible, you will have to make sure that all 4 screw heads are on the same plane which will need ...

one of the more interesting was when the round on the BIL was 'set off' - clearing that was very nteresting: - the fired case took some ingenious extracting, and - further frustration until we realised that the projectile was still in the work (glad my RF pistol is a CM 22 M RF) "BIL" ?.....

Be reminded that there is no separate LP10 and LP50 grip,
with the black spacer installed it fits the LP10, without the spacer the LP50.
The -E models have the same trigger module so no need for spacer there.

David is correct. There is a small metal piece that you push up to engage the slide and lock it back. I forget sitting here which side it is on.

Thanks,

Can be installed on either side, i think its on the right side from the factory.

Not on the LP10 or any other Steyr for that matter...

The MG5 dosn't have any two stage trigger option. (The FP10 did, though.) BTW, the MG2 and MG5 models have... If you would watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9faasFZEOiA you will see that the trigger is set up as two stage. Not sure if the configuration is still current, the video was r...

It takes some force because the pin holes are drilled with the bottom pad in place and a burr formed on the inside of the mag bites into the plastic.

To me, it feels almost neutral, and there are alu, steel, and recoil damping muzzleweights to alter the balance.

I really like the SSP.
I love the balance, and the trigger is quite simple to set up any way you want it if you read the manual.
I do not think it is complicated to disassemble.
More than some pistols, less than others.

The slide of true match pistols does not lock back automatically so that all shots give the same feedback. Its not a problem, its a feature.

And of course maximum action length for air rifle is 850mm per ISSF regulations

Don't forget the Hammerlis

I use 8,18 grains HN pellets mostly because they are available at a cheaper grade as HN Sport so if I feel like switching to Finale Match for a competition I have no significant change from my training pellet. At 1/3 the price, the difference adds up. The pistol can still shoot one hole with HN Spor...
