Hello everyone

i recently bought a steyr LP1 secondhand. I'm very pleased with the pistol overall, but i have a 'problem' with the dry firing function.
Sometimes it works just great, you only hear the little spring noise inside, but sometimes you hear a noticeable 'pop' of air releasing. I can't really find a pattern between the 'good' and the 'bad' dry fire shots.
It isn't the same amount of air as a shot without the dry firing used, but still noticeable different from the 'normal' dry firing.

Has anyone experience with this, and how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance.

Have a look.

Thanks for your quick answer.
The screw of the cam is/was tight though, and the part itself looks alright, no visible damage, so I wonder if changing it does anything.

I almost never dry fire with cylinder fully screwed on, but when I do I hear the puff. I have it too, so I just ignore it.

I have never heard it on my LP1, even with old and leaking cylinders.

mine don't leak (after several weeks stay at 200 bar), and I have new o-rings in the Steyr and have always had it. No problem with the pistol otherwise.

I contacted Steyr Sport about it (send some pictures of the cam etc), and they think a new cam will fix it (there was a bit of wear and tear on it).
So I'll try that, and let you know if it resolved the issue.
