Appears well built, Adjustable Trigger, Nice finish and comfortable ergonomic grip.
Bad Points
Couldn't hit a thing, but could just be me !!
General Comments
This economical Springer pistol is billed by some retailers as a great "plinker" - Others claim it's an entry level target pistol. - I've never owned a "target pistol" before, but thought myself a decent shot. I couldn't hit my target with this !! Could this require a different technique to shoot, by it's design? I like the pistol, but think it's a better plinker, than target gun. Feedback appreciated.
On average, people found this review very helpful

Baikal IZH-46M Review in Air Pistols at Review Centre
The Baikal IZH-46M is the best pellet pistol I have ever had. Trigger is very good. I do think the red dot sight option is good for these old eys. The price to value is very good JTC;

I posted this comment on review No1 of this pistol, but it appears to be relevant here as well. At least Tom has reviewed it with an open mind and recommends it despite his own results. I think technique has a lot to do with the accuracy of a spring gun, pistol or rifle.
"I've been 10m target shooting 6 months and now use an ALFASPORT CO2. I am not an expert shot. My best card is 91 and I average mid 80s.
Last night I picked up a buddy's (very old) Baikal, last card of the night, eyes tired etc. and shot an 86. Not Olympic standard by any stretch, but first effort with what to me seems an excellent little gun. From new it may well need a bit of TLC, lubing and smoothing, but for £36 it seems an incredible bargain. I may have to buy one to play with and work on!"
