That's what I need, a guide to disassemble the trigger to get at those parts.

Re: Anyone Know How To Stop IZH 46 Grip From Moving On Cocki

Also think I need to take my trigger apart because it feels slightly gritty on first stage take-up, sometimes has the grit feel then a little catch half-way through first stage, then goes on to stop at sear before second stage release. Take it apart or just readjust and lube? Anyone with diagrams?

Anyone Know How To Stop IZH 46 Grip From Moving On Cocking?

Every time I cock it the grip moves, but just tightening the grip screws doesn't stop it.

Thanks!

Re: Best Product to Build up Grips?

Very interesting and useful thread. Does anyone have any recommendation for what to use on synthetic grips ala the club grip that comes on a Walther LP400?

Thanks!

Thanks Joe, that website is an invaluable resource for Izzy owners, and you are the second person to tell me it might be that little spring.

Izzy 46 Breech Up - Stuck In That Position - Help Please

Today at our monthly pistol shoot I loaned my Izzy 46 to a new shooter (thankfully after I had already shot) for silhouette, while I was shooting 10m with my LP400. Ten minutes later he brings me the pistol and the breech is open, pointing straight up as it should when cocked, but it's stuck in that...

Re: 10 Meter AP in Baton Rouge, LA - WHAT???

Thank you Bob, and what you said is what I'm finding out all over. A lot of people have AP pistols laying around gathering dust like your Pardini because rifles dominate so much of the action, and there is nowhere to shoot them. And truth be told, pistol Silhouette WAS shot here a long time ago, but...

10 Meter AP in Baton Rouge, LA

Hi All, After many years of being the only person keeping 10 meter AP in this part of the country alive (that I know of), I've been working with our local club, the Bayou Airgun Club, and we are finally going to put on our first 10m event June 11th, 2016. Our range is the home of the Cajun Spring Cl...

Re: Steyr Sport Evo10 and Evo10E

Same SNAFU with Walther LP400 Compact AP's. Specs say max line of sight is 360mm, but that's with the rear sight at it's minimum. There are another two inches available if you move the sight back, so a potential of 410mm. Mine sits at 383mm right now. Absolutely one of the biggest reasons to get a L...

Re: Steyr Sport Evo10 and Evo10E

Interesting to see that Steyr grips now have little in the way of finger grooves, and that they've caught on to what I've been preaching for years by venting the barrel shroud to cut weight. You shoot better with a lighter gun, it just needs to be enough weight, if the balance is correct. The questi...

Re: Anyone Put a Rink Grip on a Walther LP400?

therider, Can't explain that one, other then since the bottom of your palm when held vertical (actually the right side of your hand if right handed) is not flat, so maybe when it contacts the flat palm shelf, it's pushing your whole hand out of alignment. Never thought about this one, just know I ca...

Re: Anyone Put a Rink Grip on a Walther LP400?

I just tried it again, same results, but then inserted a small piece of wood between the back bottom of my palm and the bottom of the thumb rest. It did make a difference and straightened out the gun somewhat. But, I notice one other disturbing issue when doing the "blind" test, when I thi...

Re: Anyone Put a Rink Grip on a Walther LP400?

If I grip my LP400 with what feels most natural, pointing at the floor, eyes closed, then raise it to shoulder level as if aiming at a target, then open my eyes, the front sight blade is left of the rear, the barrel is tilted left. This happens with my Izzy 46, and did it on my Steyr LP10, but with ...

Re: Anyone Put a Rink Grip on a Walther LP400?

I'm very curious about what the 7 degree offset actually does to your grip and hand positioning. The Rink site touches on it briefly but leaves a lot to be desired. what does it do?

Re: What is the Most Used Pellet for 10m Pistol at the Olymp

Well, I pretty much expected this. I read all that you suggested and compiled, and unfortunately, I fall into that 480-500 score range with a PR of 510, single target of 90/100, which means according to you guys, the pellet I use won't make any difference until I'm hitting around 550 or better.

I read Vladamir uses RWS R10, but I don't know if that's the regulars or Plus. Can anyone confirm what others use? I really like our hosts Vogels.

Re: LP10 Barrel Shroud Removal Opinions

I'm the guy that believes balance is more important then weight, and that a lighter gun is far easier to hold on target once it's balanced properly. I bought every conceivable add-on for my LP10 to get it lighter because I thought the balance was more towards the front, and I like a neutral balance....
