General Comments

I don't really know why I bought the Baikal Izh 53M. I didn't really need it but I did want to try a Russian air gun and thought if a cheap one was ok, then an expensive one should be better. I did own one other Russian pistol, an old Tokarov 7.65x25 MM. that just never fails to shoot and shoot fairly well.
Anyway, considering the price of $40+, you get quite a bit of gun. Trigger adjusts some, sights adjust and it comes with a spare seal, extra sight notch and cleaning rod.
I'm no paper puncher so I shoot paper just long enough to adjust the sights, then I like targets that react. Cans, dirt clods, walnuts, even cheap hard candy. The gun is muzzle light which I like. Quicker to get on target for me. It seems to be accurate enough. I shoot whatever pellets I have the most of. It's one of my favorite plinking guns because it's easy to cock.
Yes, the grips could be better, it could have more power, it could have a better finish, better sights, but hey, this one is a good buy and lots of fun.
