Page 4 of 11 - Diana LP8 Reviews

Quite accurate, more quiet than I though it would be as compared to the P!

Plain iron sights would be better for my vision

I added: - Backpack "Fieldline" size 45 cm x 23 cm x 11 cm - UTG 1PC Offset Airgun Mount w/Stop Pin, 1" Bi-direction - Simmons ProHunter ProDiamond Reticle Shotgun Scope, 4x32mm - Galbraith Brothers Black Walnut custom grips for the Diana RWS LP8 Magnum

Nothing.... pistol gives more accuracy than my skills... as a spring-er is awesome and made with German quality.

With Polymag Predator 8.0 g all shots at 10 meter from open sights gets 10s and 9n on the gamo standard target. I took some pictures will be glad to share it....!

Quality & workmanship. Great accuracy. Easy cocking.

Nothing.

Very balanced.
High velocity.

This pistol is built like a tank and as smooth as silk to cock and shoot. Love it! Very Accurate! Nice trigger.

Plain iron sights would be better.

Get the walnut grips from Galbraith Bros.; they make it even sweeter!

it handels real well

install a scope rail

Quiet (sounds like a spring, not like an explosion) Accurate Easy to cock

The dovetail rails will shear with a small scope mount. They should feature a picatinny rail or else make the top part out of steel.

If mounting a red dot, get the UTG mount with 4 screw holes. UTG Drooper Scope Rail MNT-DNT06 [UTG Drooper Scope Rail, 11mm-to-Weaver...]

Fairly easy to cock, especially with the supplied appliance over the end of the barrel. Automatically returns to SAFE when cocked. Red & green fiber optics on front & rear sights makes it easy to obtain target, especially these old eyes of mine. I have found it to shoot very accurately and even though I haven't tried all the pellets in my armory, this pistol has liked everything I've put in it so far.

Trigger pull is pretty heavy and it apparently can't be adjusted to lighten it up at all. [I like them lighter and have possibly been spoiled by my Beeman P1's and P11.] Also, I found that I have to remember to place the pad of my trigger finger very flat and square on the trigger or I will get a painful pinch to remind me when I pull thru to fire. The fit & finish of the

Fit & finish on the plastic grips is not as good as it could be. I'll have to "dehorn" the lower end by filing or sanding the sharp edges where the two halves of the grips meet on the fore strap to make it feel smoother to my strong hand when I grip it.

Solid steel construction. Ease of cocking.

Fit and finish on plastic grip is not great. Where it meets on front of gun bites into my hand a bit. I bought an aftermarket walnut grip from Galbraith that blows the cheap plastic away. I feel at this price point it should come standard with a wood grip. In order to sight in the gun I have to move the rear sight a fair amount to the left. Seems like it should be closer to the center when sighted in.

None.

Everything -- this is a great product, matches the quality of my RWS 350 Magnum.

Nothing

I purchased an UltraDOT PAN AV red dot unit from UltraDOT directly together with a protective cover for $250.00. The combination of this item with the RWS LP8 pistol is extremely accurate and a joy to use.

This is an edit to a review I submitted almost (4) hours ago (approx. 6pm PST) today. In the earlier review I incorrectly recalled my chronograph reading with a CPHP 7.9g pellet as 580fps. My notes show the highest reading was actually 528.6. Sorry for the bad memory.
