General Comments

I own a Diana 5G in nickel finish for about 7 years now and I've had a lot of pleasure with it (and still have). The full steel-construction is indestructable , also the nickel coating gives corrosion no chance. The spring pistol is average powered (125 m/s) and has a .177 caliber rifled barrel that breaks open to load. Accuracy up to ten meters is great and the optimal balanced weight gives the best to it. Rear sights are fully adjustable and can be changed between four different types with just turning a small plate. All in all another great piece of german crafmanship, just as typical for diana. This pistol can either be used as a fun pistol but also as a serious target pistol for the advanced shooter.
The only bad thing about this pistol are the grips. They are a bit too big for my taste and they are not very anatomical shaped at all, although they have a thumb rest. I fired a Diana 5 from 1976 (or was it 78'?) that had a completely different kind of grip, and this one was really great! So I cannot understand why Diana gave up such well shaped grips. But however, I give this superb air pistol ten stars. If you have bigger hands than me... It's worth it.

   Diana Air Pistols & Air Guns are great. I my self use these guns since i was a kid. I feel if there is no match to it. I own Diana Air Pistol 6G, Diana Air King Mod.54 & Diana Air Gun Mod.24. All these products are great.

   Useful review there, Tracer. Seven years and still going strong speaks volumes for its quality - no wonder that Salahuddin likes 'em.
   German quality again.

   I own the Diana (RWS) 5G, and I agree with your review, except for one thing; accuracy.
   I have handled beasts like the Beeman Kodiak and Diana 350, so I know what spring recoil is.
   Well, it has been 3 months now, and I must have put the 5G through 700 pellets, but I just can't seem to group with it! The best I got at 15 yards was a 5-shot group measuring 4.5" c-t-c.
   
   So I'd appreciate it if those of you who have shot and mastered the 5G, could give me some accuracy tips.
   
   Thanks!
