    How can I make my Steyr LP2 Compact HEAVIER?

    Is there an after market solution? I am finding it too light and lose points due to the muzzle reaction to launching the pellet which I think would be dampened by some added mass. I already have the gimmicky 8 port diffuser.

    Ideas welcome.

    Ta chaps.

    Steyr make barrel weights to fit, Morini weights also fit but require the compensator to be removed for fitting,

    Fitting some of the Morini barrel weight sleeves would be the easiest solution and they can be slid along the barrel to give the balance you like.

    You may be able to fit more than one of them if you need a lot of weight.

    Another solution

    Sell it and buy an LP10 or EVO.
    LP2 is designed to be light.

    I know it's a bit daft asking how to make a purposely light, compact pistol heavier!

    I must admit, I didn't even handle one before I bought it

    Perhaps an LP10 would have been a better option.

    Arse biscuits as they say....

    Thanks chaps.

    Have you run it over a chrono?
    It may be worth reducing the muzzle velocity to around 500 - 525 fps(150 - 160 m/s) that's around 4.2 ftlbs; it could reduce or eliminate the flip you're experiencing without affecting accuracy.
    Just a thought......
