First impressions.. much better than I expected actually..


The good: accuracy with hobbies. 5 shots groups ranging from 1/2" - 3/4" at 8 yards, which for a lightweight spring pistol is pretty good IMHO. trigger also quite light and fairly predictable. Weight quite light, so I will probably add some mass to aid stability. A longer barrel would achieve this perfectly, but I doubt the old one will come out easily.

The bad: not that bad really, but a little too much cocking effort, and definitely too much recoil - it wants to take off sideways and downwards. A loose grip defo needed for accuracy. Needs a softer spring / lighter piston or both.

The weird: huge amount of sight elevation - presumably due to the downwards recoil which must be moving the muzzle way before pellet exit. Also the grips are just stupidly weird - narrow at the top where your hands are widest


So it's all about recoil reduction (and some new grips in the future). And maybe adding a little muzzle weight.
