General Comments
First impression when opening up the package of the Baikal IZH-53M: cheap and nasty. The finish is not a pleasure to the eye - the metal has a look about it as if it is about to start corroding. The plastic body looks tatty. To me it looked like something you'd find at a boot sale.
Cocking the gun the spring sounded just awful as it compressed. After only a dozen or so shots the jaws worked loose. Once tightened they worked loose again and again. There is no safety catch. The sights are fiddly and not at all refined. Is there a breech seal on these pistols - because I couldn't see one?
A very disappointing experience.
My advice is to go for something a bit more expensive.
As for other reviewers giving this gun a good write up I have to say: 'What planet are you on!!'
On average, people found this review somewhat 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'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, smoothing and assembling "properly" (so do many others), but for £36 it seems an incredible bargain. I may have to buy one to play with and work on!
