Page 2 - IZH 46M Air Reviews

Great fun! Very accurate, well made.

Grip is a bit bulky. ( looks like a homemade wood shop project)

10-20 meter target plinking fun. Site on

Ease of operation and accuracy.

The handle is a little large for my hand. Could have offered different size grips.

Shoots great and trigger is perfect for me.

Would like to order with smaller grips. I spent a lot of time sanding and shaping them.

I have owned several high priced, high end. air pistols for competition shooting. For me this one shoots as well or better than all of them. I think the only backup pistol I need is another IZH 46 M...just in case.

Everyting. A beatiful well designed pistol. More accurate than I can ever hope to be.

Clearer instructions on how to adjust the trigger. A value on how much the point of impact moves each click (elevation and windage)of the rear sight. Having short stubby fingers, the trigger position is too long. I need to sand down the grip more.

Best buy for the price. Perfect for wannabe Olympians. You need to work on the grip to conform to your hands.

Not sure I can add anything else to all the positive reviews. The trigger is very crisp and came at 8oz pull force. Measured several times and got exact same value. Tried several pellets. Started off with wadcutters and moved on to domed pellets. They included HN Match Pistol and HN Finale Match Pistol, Meister Kugeln, Hobbys, Superdomes, and Crosman Premier Lights. I shot off a rest at 10 m. Crossman Premier Lights and Superdomes gave the best results in terms of group size. I got a repeateble .07 inch group with both, compared with .2 inch or larger of the wadcutters. Velocity of Crosman Premiers was about 480 fps. The loading and pumping operation is easy and does not fatigue in any way.

I would make the lever removable to reduce weight. I am used to shooting bullseye with a Ruger Mark III bull barrel and red dot on it. This is a heavy combination but the IZH46m, without optics, feels even heavier.

I bought this pistol to practice for rimfire bullseye and to informally compete at a local club. I do not think it is realistic to think that you can be competitive with expensive PCP air pistols in serious matches as some people seem to infer.

This pistol is extremely accurate. It is easy to cock and load and it is fun to shoot. The handgrip is large enough that I was able to customize it to fit my hand perfectly.

Never change perfection.

The grip is large enough to be customized for both large and small hands. It took me about one hour to finish using my Dremel tool. Then I stained and finished the grip. The accuracy of this pistol makes it easy to hit the center of a target at 40 feet.

Best bang for the buck!

Grips are OK, but need to be customised. Since I have large hands I purchased another set of grips with more material to start with thus a better fit after the dremel came out. Trigger upgrade at time of purchase is a good idea, I could once again make it work with my large hands better than the stock one.

Very precise. Very accurate. Amazing competition air pistol.

Nothing.

If you are serious about competing, this is the gun for you.

Accuracy right out of the box. Did a quick clean of the barrel to remove packing grease, then wiped the pistol down and started shooting. After 3 sighting shots, set up at 10 meters: 9x10 in the 10 ring - a large ragged hole. Love it!

The grip comes with alot of extra wood. I took my Dremel tool to it to customize it to my hand, then sanded with 100 grit then 150 grit to smooth. When I was done, perfect!

Hi there. Very good gun.very convenient and accurate.Who has no regrets.One of the best Russian air pistol.

Things I would change-The price is very expensive.
