Post by deadeyedick »

Recently the Australian Steyr importer had mentioned to a friend of mine that Steyr were considering producing LP10's in short barrel...does anyone have any further information ?

I'm pretty sure they've produced some custom models already, so perhaps they're thinking of actually making them into production models.

I know that Harry Preston (Steyr UK) has produced some specials including short LP50s and LP2 barrelled LP10s.

The LP@ light was actually a short barrel LP10. Now that Anschutz doesn't produce ir anymore, it would make sense that Steyr propose a short barrel high end model.

Also it seems that Steyr is trying to have a pistol in each segment, therefore they introduce the LP10E and LP50E, the only missing type is short barrel high end.

Seems that Steyr is already offering their short barrel models already.
No more need for custom work on the guns...

Which do you prefer?

They are now, finally; but they're a very recent addition.

I own one compact since last week.

I didn't tested it yet. But I feel that the pistol is OK. Classic LP 10 was too heavy on the muzzle for me.

Hello ruig. In your blog you mention that the lp10e compact has a 3 position front sight at last, but the Steyr website makes no mention of this feature, and shows the normal front sight. Is your 3 way an aftermarket sight?

p.s. congratulations on your new purchase.

Somewhat off topic, but do you adjust your front sight for different conditions?

Till now I did it only in free pistol (I have enough sights for TOZ). Standard LP 10 have not options at all - only standard 4.5mm front sight (or non standard for extra charge).

It is good to have options.

Well yes, you could have other single sizes for the LP10 too if you thought it was useful. Me, I have more serious problems to resolve for now to start messing with front sights so I was just curious :)
