    LP50 or LP5 wanted !

    Following Nige's visit to RMTC this Tuesday evening the following request is a bit predictable I suppose!

    If anyone has an LP5 or an LP50 they would like to sell at a reasonable price, please contact me by PM or email as we hope to be adding some rapid fire disciplines to our club in the near future and it would appear that one of these two types would be a good choice for us to use.

    Five shots

    The Home Office designated them officially as not semi auto some time ago, they are now officially allowed (again!), Its on the NSRA website some where, I think they were designated as some form of self indexing, not semi auto, so eventually common sense ruled.

    Well, at least until some other brain dead jobsworth tries again!

    Have Fun

    B.A.R. had one the last time I was over.

    I would have thought you should master the one shot, slow fire, first.

    fives

    Thanks Craig

    Don't know before, but certainly they now know what they are missing, and are very keen!

    The NSRA has my book on its online shop which is the easiest way to get one.

    Have Fun

    Craig - you know that we never had any facilities for rapid fire but our new range updates make this a possibility that we are now seriously considering.

    If we can find a couple of LP50 or LP5 pistols to use then we will add turning target facilities to our range.

    I will let you know what progress we make - but first we need to find some suitable pistols to use!

    Im not particularly into rapid it just that I started with a 22 semi auto and just prefer magazine guns instead of the tiresome single shot
    Altho I think my old LP10 had a better trigger I can live with that
    Can one use an LP50 at yours slow fire?

    When using the "single shot" mag - do you have to remove the magazine to refill it after every shot - or does it just slide to the left after firing the pellet allowing it to be reloaded in situ?

    We don’t have any members who own a multi-shot pistol yet, but the controlled and disciplined use of one should not be a problem for us to accommodate

    5/50 Steyrs are excellent.

    But if you are a lazy shooter like me they make you a worse shot.
    In that you think.. I will get it with the next shot!
