It seems that the LP5 or LP50, since they are only a few bucks more than the single shot LP1 or LP10, would be better if you can only have one good air pistol, since I also shoot bullseye and need some major work on my sustained fire game. I understand that the trigger is not as good on the repeaters and this is the only major disadvantage. If you use the single-shot mag, does the trigger get better? Any other comments?

I am afraid not. It's not a bad trigger, just nowhere near as good as a top end single shot pistol.

Re: LP10 vs. LP5 vs. LP50
I've tried the LP-10 and the LP-5 during a training session. Both are great guns, but for single shot, the LP-10 has a superior trigger.
That being said, the trigger on the LP-5 is really, really nice (not a major disadvantage.) As well, you can swap different triggers out to practice trigger for standard pistol and centrefire, and then back to single shot precision air. Lastly, and most appropriately, you can shoot rapid air pistol.
Is it the right gun? Depends on your goal. If you are very determined to shoot your precision air pistol under the best conditions, then the LP-5/50 isn't your best choice: the LP-10 is. If you want to develop your sustained fire, the LP-5/50 is the one to go with. If you don't know where you want to take your shooting, but can afford one good gun, I would lean towards the LP-5 because of the versatility. Just remember, that versatility comes at a (small) cost. What is the saying? A jack of all trades is a master of none.
Also, switching to the single shot mag had no impact on the functionality of the trigger, from what I could tell.
Good shooting.

Re: LP10 vs. LP5 vs. LP50
I have both the LP10 and the LP5 they both shoot very well. As the others have said the main difference is in the trigger but the trigger on the LP5 is not a bad trigger it is just different from the LP10. If I could afford ol=nly one gun and wanted to shoot rapid fire as well I would not hesitate to buy the LP 50 (I think the ported barrel on the LP50 is worth the extra $$. The LP5 is very capable of shooting world class scores (if you are. You'll be happy with either the LP10, LP5 or LP50.

I bought a lp5 for the same reason that you want one, to practice rapid fire. The only thing I found is that when switching between the lp5 and my 45 is that the different reset between screwed my trigger pull on the 45(I got use to the short reset of my lp5 and the 45 was longer so frist string fired one shot and then next would not fire untill I let off trigger). I fix the problem by setting up the lp5 to have a similar pull i.e. pull weight, reset length.
