The RWS LP8 is a heavey pistol that is well ballanced, and extreamly accurate. I have now fired approx 1,000 diffrent types of pellets thru her, from PBA's to the RWS Supper Mag's. I have yet to find a pellet that it does not like to fire (my personel opinenon). I would advise anyone that wants to do some serious target shooting to check this pistol out.
Please note, I shoot precission style shooting only, one shot at a time for exact placement of my shoots, both with a riffle and target pistols, nothing fancy just pure accuracy is what I strive for. The RWS LP8 will go a long way for you to be able to do the same type of shooting.
Things I would have changed:The only item I have found that would make this a first class target pistol 2nd to none would be a nice set of wooden or (Police style) grips, even Pac - Myer rubber grips. The plastic gripes are a little bit tough on the hands. Other then this, this is still a fantastic shooting target pistol. What others should know:The hardest thing you are going to try to find for the RWS LP8 is a GUN CASE large enough to hold and protect this pistol, either in a hard back case or a soft pack case. Mine is also equiped with the Leapers UTG< CQB< QUICK AIM DOT, Model SCP-RD25RGW. I would suggest strongly to invest in an 11mm to Weavers Mount for this scope or any scope if so used. The 11mm built in rail mount is a very nice addition to this pistol, but it is cut into the the top of the gun and to me is a bit on the thin side. Adding the Weavears Mount would both give it a much better look, and more material to hold your scope mounts, w/o doing any damage to the 11mm rail, and at the same time easy to remove to be able to use the built in sights. Note that the rear sight is a Micromeeter adjusting sight with possative locking when adjusting it. With Winter time coming on fast this makes a great indoor and outside target pistol and being a Springer, no need to worry about temp's when trying to shoot using Co2 type pistols. I would also suggest ordering from Glenn @ UMAREXUSA the cocking lever for the Browning 800 Mag, it fits the RWS LP8 perfectly and makes it a great deal easier to cock then trying to grabe the barrel behind the front sight, while @ the same time protecting the front sight from being damaged by your hand while cocking the pistol to fire. I have to rate the RWS LP8 99.999% only because of the plastic grips, if they where wood (custom or other wise) or rubber I would then rate 100%+. BG

Right out of the box using the factory sights she was hitting dead center using RWS SUPERDOME 8.3gr pellets. You must remember one thing when shooting this Pistol, it is like shooting and extreamly short rifle, it has all the power of a rifle so I would handle her and treat her as such. Over all she has a nice clen snap to the trigger though a bit long which I do not mind, and you can feel when she is making contact to the point of firing. Do to the power of this pistol compaired to the Co2 powered pistols, I would suggest very strongly that you re-build or build a back stop to handle both the pellets and the power. If you fire her using your older Co2 back stops you are going to be blowing holes clean thru the back stop. This RWS LP8 Pistol is not ment for children and is strictly and adult only gun. THe re-coil/ kick is very modest nothing to write home about, and considering she is made of all metal she is fairly quit to shoot. Just take your time to get the feel of her and I believe you will be as happy as I am with her. What brought me around to the rings being a problem finding the right set was PAULS VIDEO I believe he was testing the Browning, and when he installed an AIM DOT Sight, even though he had a grouping they were all right of center, so it pays to watch his reviews to help get some ideas. Stay Safe and Shoot Safe. Semper- Fi Things I would have changed:The only thing I would chamge is the Plastic Hand Gripes, they are a bit small for my hands, a nice set of wodden grips would make it perfect. What others should know:Even though she has a cocking presure from the barrel of 18/ 19 lbs, you have to grabe the barrel behind the front sight. I would contact UMAREXUSA.com and order out the cocking lever for the BROWNING 800 MAG, it fits perfectly over the barrel and makes cocking the RWS LP8 that much easier, besides it keeps your hands of the barrel.
I added the Leapers UTG Quick Aim DOT Model # SCP-RD25RGW to this pistol. You may have the same problem I had, I had to go thru several SCOPE Mounts to get the QUICK AIM DOT to sit center on the gun. I was having a great deal of trouble getting the site adjusted to the left for some reason. Even with the windage sett to full left adjustment she wanted to stay far to the right of center. I had several sights on hand and it was just a matter of getting the right set to work with her. Now I have both full elavation and L/R Windage adjustments, And she is hitting well within the #9 and #10 rings on the 25 foot slow fire targets I am using. So do not get frutrated if she will not adjust either left or right for you, it will be just a matter of getting the right set of rings for her.
I was using a bench rest to sight her in, and have read several comments from people saying that when bench resting they were sitting the barrel on the rest, I myself found this to be the wrong way to be using the Pistol and the rest, Rest the Pistol on its frame and let the barrel float the same as you would a Riffle, and I found I got better results from her faster.

PMAir has finaly a stock of SOFT SIDE Pistol case's that is large enough to hold this rather large pistol and @ $17.95 it is a great buy. Even has to inside side pockets.Can even put a small lock on the case to secure it. At least it will keep very youg children out of it. Case itself is made from heavey weight materal and as you can see will hold the LP8 along with the Leapers Aim Dot.Now if they could find a hard sided case that is Air Line/TSA Approved for Air Planes.Brianag618

Things I liked:The gun was very accurate right out of the box. Things I would have changed:Nothing. I wish that there was a .22 cal option. What others should know:If you liked the P5, you will truly enjoy the LP8. It is easier to cock and the grips make for comfortable shooting.

Things I liked:Like all RWS guns, very sturdy mechanics. This gun is pretty heavy which makes it stable in your hands. I love the fiber optic sights. The cocking effort is minimal for the power it produces. I like the safety feature also, when you break the barrel and then break it back to shoot, the safety is enabled. I do not own a chrony

I do not own a chrony yet, but I would guess it shoots between 600 - 700 fps...great gun Things I would have changed:I maybe would have added a globe over the front sight to protect it...

Things I liked:The fiber optic sights work very well. They were dead on out of the box at 20 meters using RWS 8.3gr Superdome pellets. The safety works easily and can be re-engaded if necessary. The break barrel action works smoothly and is easy to load. The pistol has a good, solid feel to it. Things I would have changed:A lighter

Things I would have changed:A lighter trigger pull would be nice, but I have been spoiled by the Beeman P3. There is nothing wrong with the trigger on the LP8. What others should know:So far I have done all of my shooting off hand, plinking soda cans. I have found that follow through is very important with this pistol. Keep the front sight on the target, and you will hit it, and hit it hard.

Overall performance and finish (minus below) is good. Things I would have changed:Front sight mount was loose when it arrived. Trigger is pretty stiff although it does break crisp. What others should know:Velocity: 9.3gr = 519fps, 7.2gr = 545fps, 7.0gr = 586 fps.
I've not tried any super light pellets, however nearly 600fps with a 7gr pellet is cooking pretty good out of a pistol.
Point of aim for freehand and bench rest are very different. I believe this is due to the mass in the spring piston system. You must sight this in as you plan to shoot.

Things I liked:Additions like ambi grips, scope rail, and ambi safety are what I was looking for. Things I would have changed:I'd protect the front sight with a globe. What others should know:The reason for inacuracy in your shooting technique. NEVER rest a spring-piston gun on anything solid. Sand bag is no exception!

Break-barrel action feels very clean and solid - imparting the kind of satisfaction the Germans are noted for in all of their manufacture of goods. Convenience of a break-barrel in a pistol is an idea that obviously not all manufacturers are willing to stick their necks out for. Credit RWS for not only bringing a new brand of fun to the hobby, but continuing its effort towards its evolution, as here we now have scope cabability entered into the arena. Things I would have changed:Front plastic sight should be slimmed down - it is too thick and puts too much guesswork into aiming. A hooded, more precise, thin metal front sight as an accessory would prompt an instant purchase from me. What others should know:It hits reasonably hard, though I expect a little more sting as it breaks in. I have a lot more experimentation to do with this LP8, including trials of different pellets and usage of a scope. It's base-level performance using RWS Superdome isn't bad, but I know through the process of experimentation, I can realize noticeable improvement.

Excellent pistol, but break-barrel adds extra length to firearm and I personally HATE the automatic safety. No powder-actuated firearm has one for a good reason. They are made for adults. The best safety is YOU!

The addition of the dovetail for scope or red dot mounting. The dovetail also has an additional dovetail, a step down, that allows for the use of wider mounts, usually reserved for firearms. Things I would have changed:I have difficulty believing the advertised 700 fps. I have not had chance to "chrony" it yet, but the sound of the pellet striking the trap at 25 yds. is not consistent with the advertised speed. Also, RWS could have used "trick pellets", PBS or other ultralights that are notoriously inaccurate. What others should know:I'm having some difficulty getting tight groupings at 25 yds. using a bench and sandbag. I have mounted a Bushnell 2-6X32 and a Barska 2X30 red dot, and have tried seven different brands and weights of pellets. So far, the best grouping has been about 3 in. with Cabela's .177 hollow points, [the 7.9 gr.]. I know it's a pistol, not a rifle, but I've had groups half the size with other air pistols. Probably I just not found the best pellet match for this pistol. Could be that this air pistol is not fully "broken in" as yet , though I have gone through over 1000 pellets to date. I'll keep trying different brands of pellets until I find one that this air pistol "likes". (Helps keep Pyramid's profits up in this economic slowdown).
