Re: Steyr Evo 10 as first pistol?

I do not own an evo but from what I have seen there is no systematic trouble with either the "recoil absorber" or the regulator. I would suggest looking at the P8X as well. You are right. Top notch competitors have their regulators of their Steyr LP-s serviced or exchanged accasionally, s...

Re: Steyr grip sizing

Steyr grip size table, here for the LP10EVO, - think same for other Steyr match air pistols.

Your hand width of 95 mm puts you in the L or XL category; which one depends on the length of your finger(s).

Re: Steyr Evo 10 as first pistol?

I've had a bit of good luck with getting hold of a Harrington Gat this morning. I found one in a gun shop for £145 on line, the shop keeper told me it's in unused condition, totally mint and a bargain. The shop is having it sent over to my local gun shop. I should be able to collect it from there T...

Re: Need help deciding on air tank for PCP.

Just came across this FWB-P8X https://www.feinwerkbau.de/en/Sporting-Weapons/Air-Pistols/NEW-Air-Pistol-Model-P-8X. If you are going to spend some Money on a top shelf air pistol you have better consider a Steyr. I have owned and used extensively several FWBs, among them the P34 and the P44. The ab...

Re: Shots are Low and Left

Well, I might suggest you pay attention to the pressure from your little finger during discarge, and/or possible unconsciously relaxing of wrist tension at the moment of discharge?

Just my 5 cent.

Re: Need help deciding on air tank for PCP.

Decided to practice a lot at home and so I ordered a FWB P11. (PCP) It's not too late to return the gun for a refund. Then buy a SSP and avoid all such questions (and cost). Live firing a Walther SSP (.22 rimfire) inside an apartment is not recommendable, in my opinion. :-) @ "Amate": Get...

My LP10 is getting about 75 shots from red line to yellow line of compression. My LP10 does a little better, roughly 90 shots at 153 m/s (503 f/s).
