Alfa Proj Competition PCP Pistol by Air Armsreviews summary
Things I would have changed:A bit better quality control What others should know:I really like this gun, but as I write this it has been back to Pyramyd Air for 5 days and I am waiting to hear the disposition of the gun. For starters, the probe did not work properly. When attempting to fill it with air, there was an air leak out of a relief hole on the body of the probe. There is a ball bearing that is supposed to seal that hole during filling, but there was something not right. Also, although I found the gun very accurate, it was difficult to sight in on a bench rest in that the rear sight needed to be set to max elevation to get to the center of the bull leaving no room for further up adjustment if needed. When I would shoot the gun, the rear sight continually loosened which I tightened by tightening the grip with a supplied tool. When I sent the gun back, the sight was literally rattling when I shook the gun. I'm not sure if this particular gun was a lemon but I have asked to either have it replaced with a new gun, or simply refund my money - I have had enough of this particular one. I am hoping that whatever the disposition is, I get a flawlessly functioning gun, because I do like the gun (if it only functioned as it is supposed to).
Things I would have changed:I would be nice to have more sight options, such as the ability to add red dot. Comments
Gary--You can add a dot sight since the gun has an 11mm dovetail.
Things I would have changed:The weight should be chopped up into 4 little ones instead of 1 big one because it's either too little or too much. I've learned to shoot it without the weight, but I'd love to have smaller ones for the option of tuning the overall weight better. The regulator should do a better job of ... regulating. Seriously, a gun this good comes in a cardboard box? It should come in a foam-fitted heavy-duty case with plenty of extra empty slots for "stuff". Of course, the box helps keep the cost down, so I'm not really going to complain, except now I have to go to some sporting goods store and buy a good case anyway, so why not include it up front? A gun this good deserves it. What others should know:I also tried a TAU 7 Match pistol, but CO2 is such a hassel, and it was way too loud for backyard use if you have neighbors nearby. The Alfa chronied at an average of 489.2 fps with the JSB's, 511.8 fps with R10's for 10 shots. Charged up to 200 bar with the JSB's I got an average of 470.9 fps for 80 shots, with a low of 441.6 and a high of 483.5. Sounds bad, but at 10m I think it's OK, but not for a regulated gun. On the 86th shot it dropped by 67 fps, and then on the 87th shot it hissed like a snake and released all of it's air. A great feature to let you know to recharge if you're not counting shots. Randomly within those 85 good shots, it freakishly released 3 of them about 90 fps faster than the others, but that didn't effect POI at all, it just got a little louder, and I could feel it. Since velocity is adjustable, I have no doubt that I could adjust for an average of say, 430 fps, and get around 120 shots out of it. For serious match competition you MUST get the optional grip. The ambi is just what it is, a compromise. The bolt-loading is a dream, better then on a Daystate Harrier and Air Arms S400 ERB I had. The light weight and ease of loading/cocking allows you to shoot all day. Have plenty of air and pellets handy. Check out the video test on Youtube. If, like me, you felt the RAT (Russian Agricultural Tool) Izzy 46M just feels all wrong, but still want the best quality pistol you can get for the money, look no further. Good Luck. See Ya Shootin'.
