A very common mistake.I think you must be holding the pistol the wrong way around!

What was the adjustment that was causing the kick back just in case we get one do it.
Good shooting

I think the biggest problem was adjusting the trigger whilst in our cellar range without enough good reading light and devoted concentration. I had just made a similar adjustment on a Benneli, and that went quickly to plan with no problem, so maybe I was over-confident that the Steyr would be just as easy.
After shortening the first stage travel on the LP2 to give me the trigger movement and feel that I preferred, I could then detect this gentle "bounce-back" on the trigger blade after the shot had been taken.
Some others did not notice it at all when they had a go with my LP2 after I had made the trigger changes ( it was very slight) but could feel it and knew it was not there before I made the change, and so I knew I had caused it and wanted to find out how.
Further fine adjustment with the trigger stop eliminated it, so as I reduced the first stage travel I had failed to check all the other adjustments that were affected by it.
Now it is perfect for me, and I am very pleased with it.

The 2012 version of the LP2 Compact can now also be seen on bobsairguns.com !
It does balance very nicely and it does have it's own unique "bark" - mildly lessened with the fitting of the optional 8 port disperser.
The dark wood grip is a new "copy" of the style of the LP10E type and is made by Morini - but not signed or stamped - very unusual. Maybe not too happy about copying a rivals style of grip eh?
The grip is not an exact copy of the Pablo made original - but it is very "similar" in overall texture and I like the look of it.
Looks give pride of ownership, but I have yet to see how I like the way it actualy works so I am hoping it is as good as it looks but reserve comment on the fit just yet.
I can swap the standard Morini grips from my LP10 to check this, and also have access to a RINK grip as well so I will be able to make a fair test between them as far as my hand fit goes at least!

Thanks Nige.
It seems to need a longer length fixing screw though ?

Ok, Bob may be more help, I have fitted lp10 grips to both an lp2 and lp1 and both were direct replacement, I don't remember whether I used the bolt that came with the pistol or grip though.

this thread goes back to 2012.....but good to see it is still a useful reference!
I have swapped my standard Steyr grips between my LP10 and LP2 (I think they are the same grip) but I also have a RINK grip for my LP10 and that needs a shorter fixing screw that is supplied with the grip.
It is very easy to check to make sure in any case - just take care when fitting the LP10 grip to the LP2 when fastening the screw to make sure it fits OK.
