aphexian.'s Review of Baikal IZH-46M

Good Points

Tremendous value for the money spent. You simply cannot buy another air pistol for $250 some dollars, and obtain similar performance. This gun can keep up with the big boys at an entry level price.


Bad Points

Grips always could use a little tweaking to suit each shooters individual tastes. Pistol can favour certain pellets, but that's true with any airgun. Also, you can find yourself losing track of entire hours with this thing, because as they say, time flies when your having fun!


General Comments

Got this pistol to try my hand at 10 meter pistol discipline. I was a little apprehensive about purchasing something crafted in Russia, but all my fears were diminished as I opened the bx and inspected the build quality. I must say it's fun spending only $250 and getting a weapon that exceeds even my very modest shooting abilities. This gun will have you dreaming of the elusive "one ragged hole" groups, and definately is an excellent learning tool if you want to sharpen up your pistol and trigger handling techniques. Anyhow, to use an already tired catchphrase, this pistol offers maximum "bang for the buck" and will have you constantly looking forward to another paper punching session.... The pistol would get a 10, but hey, no ones perfect. If this sounds like something that you'd be interested in, pick up one of those smooth shooting guns, and a few tins of RWS Geco pellets, and plink your heart out.
