How can I make my Steyr LP2 Compact HEAVIER?

[nickm marshall]

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......

I have a couple of Morini barrel weights going spare if you decide on that option, let me know if you are interested.

Couple of weights won't stop the bounce.
Most of it goes with a perfectly executed shot.
Plus a very well fitting grip.

The LP10 has a device that elimates recoil.

Still not too late to sell an LP2 before the market gets flooded with the pony clubs, as they change to
'Ray Guns'

My LP2 was set up by Harry P with an MV of 525 which he described as the optimum for my barrel. I must say, the test card he shot certainly validated this.

I really CBA going through the selling / part exing palaver to get an LP10. I'll have to learn to deal with it.

Dave - silvershooter - do you have a picture of the Morini weight assembly I could look at? How would it fit to an LP2?

Thanks all.

The Moroni weights slide onto the barrel, the compensator needs removing to fit but the advantage of these is that they can be slid along the barrel for balance without tools, they use internal o rings to hold position which actually work very well and are also slimmer than the Steyr weights so look less obtrusive,

The steyr weights clip over the barrel and are tightened by means of an Allen bolt in a clamp like fashion so the screw does not actually contact the barrel, they work well but look a little cumbersome and somewhat of an afterthought, they also require an Allen key to adjust,

I've used both and preferred the Morrini ones, not as quick to initially fit but once done can be adjusted far easier, no risk of marking the barrel and although less important do look a lot nicer fitted,
