Baikal izh-46 problem

[kneal]

Bad news, I'm afraid. York Guns(the Baikal agent) have had the weapon to pieces and replaced the seals - but once re-assembled it still leaked. They are now looking for a replacement to send to me. The IZH-46 has such a good reputation - I suppose there had to be one lemon out there somewhere.
In the meantime & to keep in practice, I've bought a second-hand Webley Alecto. Very accurate, and I've found it to be a much friendlier pistol, nowhere near as demanding as the IZH-46.

Hmm, thats interesting...I was considering buying myself an IZH 46M.
Think I'll wait awhile.
Could you update us when you get a replacement.
Cheers.

shame such a nice pistol what other options brand new proper 10m ssp pistols. prehaps look into getting it swapped for one.

Used to own one of these and a few people use them at the Club. It is a very good pistol that can achieve top scores in the right hands, so if on a budget it is definately worth considering.

To have problems with the Baikal is unusual. I have the 46M and it is the most accurate of all my 20 pistols and very reliable. The only pistol I would chose to take on competition against a top shooter.

Since buying my NOS IZH-46 (thanks to Phil from Bristol ) I've found it to be amazingly / stupidly good to shoot

I shot 3 consecutive cards of 94 while I was tinkering around with the adjustments! And I am seriously not that good!!

Better still, I can accurately call every bad shot as it happens.

Its subjective I know, but I've never had a less 'demanding' pistol Chuffed to bits with it, I am

i realy want to buy one of these there seems to be no other option you can buy brand new and everyone seems to have good reviews.

I've gone the secondhand route with an FWB100.
There are some bargains at half the price of an IZH.
