I looked into this awhile back and decided it wasn't worth the time and effort. I bought a Hill Pump instead. Can you write some more info on this? Why wasn't it worth it? Did you get any quotes on repair prices? Thanks It was awhile ago, but I remember parts being hard to find and, as seamaster sa...

Topic: Air Pistol loudness question for backyard shooting
Replies: 26
Views: 8380

I have an older LP5. The difference between shooting it indoors and outdoors is night and day in terms of loudness. Indoors it's LOUD! But, as a previous poster observed, I think most of the sound comes from the pellet hitting the backstop. I had a buddy over one time and we did a bit of shooting in...

Another thing to bear in mind is that pellets that are marked 4.49 or whatever are not always that size! Awhile ago I measured some JSB Match Diabolos (with a micrometer) and found that the actual size could vary +/- 0.01 mm from the marked size.

pellet testing an air pistol is a waste of time.
But how about testing and adjusting the pistol's velocity with any particular pellet to get the best grouping?

Re: LP10E first time use

Dear all, I just received my new lp 10 e and was very excited to try it hands on today. A question about the trigger. I found that the trigger has 2 clicks. The first was just a click without the shot being fired followed by the second for actual firing. Is this the normal case or is there some set...

I've been willing to give Russ the benefit of the doubt.... until now. His responses to recent threads have truly been over the top. I really don't care anymore that he can't speak English all that well. He just never seems to learn.

Time out guys. Let us try to stay with the OP's question. But I guess this is the time for me to speak about Russ. A few weeks ago Russ and I had a good long telephone conversation.

I've worked a lot with silica gel, and I have Hill Dry-Pak pellets that I'm still finding all over when a refill pack burst in shipping. They are totally different. Silica gel is clear, and the crystals typically have a fairly smooth glassy finish. The dry pack material is a tan-ish brown, and is i...

seamaster, don't you mean that Tidy Cat Litter contains silica gel? Surely it isn't entirely silica gel. Is the Hill dry-pac 100% silica gel? If it is, then I imagine you can buy SG in bulk and save some $$

Don't understand the lady's hose thing (relating to the Hill Pump).
