Good Points

Superb trigger. I have spent a lot more money for match pistols with triggers that were not nearly as good as this one is right out of the box.
Accuracy matches any match pistol that I have had in the past. Excellent workmanship, good quality wood on the grips.


Bad Points

The only thing that I would change is the shape at the bottom of the grip. I wish that that pyramid or one of the other suppliers would sell extra factory grips. That way I would not be afraid to take a Dremel tool to one of them for a bit better fit for me.


General Comments

I have only had the Baikal IZH-46M pistol for about 6 days, but all ready it has become my favorite pistol. When I first recived it I ran 5 plinking rounds through it to set the sights. The next 2 5 round groups shot with a sand bag rest were just ragged holes at 10 meters. I just could not believe how sweet the trigger was right out of the box. I now have about 200 rounds through it. By the way, I weigh all my pellets with a loading scale and examine them for dings or marks. H&N final match pellets work very well for superb accuracy based on my experience. The Gamo Match and the Joseph Schultz Bohumin Match Diablo did just about as well. This surprised me because I have been a fan of the H&N pellets for a long time. I will chronograph this pistol after another 300 rounds.

I no longer am a competitive pistol shooter, but I have always liked shooting at more than 10 meters for practice purposes. This pistol is just great at 15 meters.
