General Comments

I received my Baikal IZH-46M yesterday in the mail, my first impression was "wow, this is a large pistol!". The grip does feel bulky, it feels like holding a 2x4, but being a Dremel guru, this isn't going to be a problem much longer.
At the range (aka backyard): Cocking and loading the pistol is quite easy, just be sure you pull the level out far enough that you feel the click. It has an odd action, the way the bolt works and all, but once you get use to it, its fairly simple.
My first shot out of the pistol hit the dead center of the target at 15'. After about 50 pellets, I noticed a pattern of hitting slightly high, and right, about 1/2" off my aim at 20'. My five round grouping still stayed within 1/2" as well, so I am sure it's just me, or my sights need slight tweaking.
This pistol is also VERY quiet, the sound of the pellet hitting the back stop is much louder than the pellet discharging. It's quiet enough you could sit in a New York apartment and shoot pellets all day long without your neighbor ever noticing, provided you have a soft backstop to asborb the thunk of the pettet hitting it.

My pistol also came factory with a cleaning rod, a tool for adjusting and disassembly the pistol, and a set of spare seals!

I highly disagree with Topmostpop's review, I think he was smoking crack when he wrote it. While we both give the gun 10/10, his comments are not accurate, for example ANY blued gun will rust if you don't provide proper maintenance.

For a match quality single shot pistol, you just can't go wrong with the IZH-46M!

I'm impressed, and this pistol will be an heirloom I will pass down to my children.
