The guys in the US speak highly of the "Izzy" as a budget 10M pistol. Suggesting it is, as you expect, well made - if possibly a bit crude in some areas.

Like you, I like plinking with match guns - I haven't shot in any kind of match for about 9 years (and that was CF rifle).

I too have an FWB80.

I'd guess that if you get on well with the 80, or any other classic 10M pistol, you wouldn't notice much improvement with the IZH-46M.

And the thing is bloody ugly. I know that shouldn't matter, but it does.
