I've just sold my pair of Steyr LP50's, and they were what I worked up to when doing a bit of pistol target shooting. I can understand some people saying this is too much to try it out, but if you have the funds, why bother with anything less than top end, even to start with? If you buy these second hand you will lose next to nothing, I had mine 4 years, kept them immaculate, and lost about £200 on each of them, that's less than I would have lost buying a medium range pistol new

The LP50s give you the option of 5 shots or just 1 - but it's an option, so no downside. Having 5 shots means you can do a card and sort your shooting on the fly, so for me at least it was, and would be again, the way to go for good quality pistol shooting.
