Hearing that any Steyr LP2 Compact fails to fit into the ISU control box is a massive shock as it is such a small pistol.
I would be fairly confident that the metal frame of the pistol is not at fault so I can only guess that it is the left handed grip that has presented this problem - what type of grip did you fit?
If it was a Steyr grip or a RINK grip I would have expected either of these specialist German grip manufacturers to ensure they fully complied with the ISU rules.
Did it fail the width test because of the grip, or because of the combinatin of the grip and some additional filler?
It would be an even greater shock if the LP2 as sold by Steyr failed to fit into the control box as the same grip fitted to it is also used on the LP10.
These larger sized LP10 pistols ( and the similar LP10E) from the same manufacturer have won just about every international honour in the air pistol shooting world so it would be good to know why ( and in what area) your wife's smaller sized Steyr Compact failed the box test as it may help others who turn up at a competition from failing weapons control in the future.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
