I'd suspect some sort of error in the trigger-finger placement. Check these documents and perhaps adjust trigger position accordingly. I suppose I should have said that it is not happening with every shot, but enough that there seems to be a pattern with this particular pistol. I should also have s...

LP50 pulls to left

In shooting my recently acquired (used but recently serviced by Pilk) LP 50, I have noted a distinct tendency to pull ever so slightly to the left, which is not present when bench sighting. We're talking less than a centimeter, but enough to pull a ten to a 9 or 8. I suspect that it is caused by the...

Right, no change in the scores.

Pellet trap

Actually, Rover is right. A box of rags works just fine as a pellet trap. I took Rover's advice recently and got a used K58, which is a great gun. My only problem was one of enthusiasm. The repeated pumping caused tendinitis in my elbow, so I wound up buying a PCP. But, he gives good advice to those...

Pellet trap

Rather than using rags for a backstop, you can use electrical "Duct Seal", available from Home Depot or Lowe's. It's quiet, and a quarter or half inch is all thats needed to absorb a pellet. After a few hundred rounds, just replace it. John I second this suggestion. Use of duct seal is co...

Gerard, Just wanted to say thanks, from all of us Izzy owners who may have modified our grips (I'm currently working on my second set with an increased rake angle) and knew the pistol was too heavy, but had no idea where to begin shaving off the excess weight. Your picture and description were great...

My 46M had a small shim on one side, obviously put in by the factory to take up some of the slack made by poor fitting grips. The tape, a matchstick (without the head), or similar shim will work fine.
