The pistols are very adaptable, available with single shot, dry firing and of course the 5 shot magazine. Different size grips are readily available to buy .. about £75..or swap, and I think they are more or less the same for the LP5, 50, and 10, and can swivel around to suit you. If you fancy a different look (I know what you are like), you could get a 1911 grip, and a heavier trigger for that powder burner feel . One thing I noticed , some come with a cylinder adaptor that does not fit the regular supply air tank.. Best Fittings can sort that... I went for a test firing with my regular 300 bar tank, the supplied adaptor did not work. I think it was for 230 bar tanks. The pistol cylinders are date stamped, and of course, if they came with the pistol.. a good guide to age, but you can't count on that. Quite a few videos on youtube by STEYR themselves showing how to adjust and service their pistols.. no need to trek to a dealer. Also advice on power, no need , it appears, to go full power, apparently the best pellet speed is what to aim for, not the fastest. Two different barrel lengths are available on the LP50, I don't know about the LP5. They seem to come with test targets shot with 4.49 PISTOL pellets, so you can throw away your 4.52 RIFLE pellets. I never knew there was a difference. I researched the Rohms, and the Morinis.. I liked the electric Morini, but as there is a lefty in the family, swapping grips was a bit of a no no. There is an electric multi shot Steyr too, but it is no longer a stock item, rumoured to have been due to double firing, or no demand for it. The LP50 is a very satisfying pistol to shoot, versatile, not shot the LP5. Some say the LP10 has a better trigger, but hey, when they are this good anyway , I am not going to notice the difference. Enjoy the search, Best Regards
