Hello all from Paris, France.
I've had this Stoeger xp4 from quite a while now.
the piston is NOT the same as HW 40 and Beeman P17.
It is precise, it shoots straight, same sights.
BUT definitely a lack of power.
bullets do not obliterate the paper target correctly...
To get correct round holes in the target you need to:
1) get more power from the piston : add a 2 mm metal round (why not a coin) and glue it wih epoxy 2 composants glue to the top of the piston.
2) you have to rework the barrel entry, so that all pellets would fire
3) you have to re-shroud the end of the barrel
in a few words :
better exterior design (Italian maybe)
low quality control on the barell finish
low power piston that needs 2 mm extra to work decently.
same truglo style sights (exactly)
it is around €100 in France, but if you add the time you have to spend on it to make it work well, maybe it's not worse to buy...
HW40 is €140 in France, it is ugly but works well out of the box, without rework...
I hope you'll pardon my poor English.
greetings from Montmartre, Paris.
Your English is very good.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

I wish I was in the land of cotton.
Bonne année à tous les bretons !
If your trigger stays backward and does not come back after shooting, you have to add a small metal rim on the right of the trigger on the trigger axle. Please put the smooth side of the rim against the trigger.
your trigger will be smooth All the time.
in fact, the trigger is a little too narrow for the gap. With this rim (4mm If I remember but please check) the gap is filled and the trigger doesn't move lateraly anymore.
this play is very small (like one millimètre) but is enough to make it "de-rail" from its course, and then it stays back....
With the coin mod (1 euro coin) on the piston top and this small trigger mod, the Stoeger XP4 becomes a fine shooter.
It accepts Walther PZ 2X20 pistol scope (11mm dovetail) , which adds just enough weight to it ... (total becomes like 915 grammes).
Merci
Happy new year all !
