    The box states this gun delivers 700 fps. Airgun writer Tom Gaylord tested this gun for the Pyramyd Air blog and got 755 fps when using extremly lightweight alloy (lead-free, 4.0 grains) pellets. If you use lightweight lead pellets (7.0 grains), your velocity will be around 560 to 580 fps. He found that Gamo Match pellets (7.56 grains) delivered the best accuracy when shooting the pistol from a rested position.

    If you like to shoot spinners or do some casual target shooting, the LP8 is perfect. Repeatable accuracy!

    Things I liked:I was concerned that my old eyes might have trouble but the fiber optic open sights on the LP8 are spot on. I was also impressed by the ease that the pistol cocks as well as the automatic safety. Very well designed.
    Things I would have changed:Absolutely nothing.
    What others should know:You may want to order Chamber Lube and Spring Cylinder Oil since maintenance is required after 1000 shots.

    Things I liked:Excellent fit and finish, quality look and feel.
    Things I would have changed:It's a good piece as it is, buy they should do a performance check before sending them out of the factory.
    What others should know:I was unable to elevate the rear sight enough to bring shots anywhere near point of aim without running out of threads on the adjustment screw. So, back she went. I purchased a refurb unit that was basically sighted in as received and I'm very happy with it. The new one even seems to have a lighter trigger. I scoped it and it proves to be very accurate. Pyramyd was easy to work with on the return - a pleasure to deal with.

    Things I liked:Nice long trigger pull. Excellent sights. Power to spare! Accuracy is superb. Auto safety is a nice feature for teaching gun safety.
    Things I would have changed:Would like to be able to de-cock it without firing. The price is a little high for shooters on the fence about a spring pistol, so I suggest testing the LP8 before committing to a buy.
    What others should know:This is a fine combination of target quality accuracy and hunting quality power. As an outright target pistol it is a little heavy, but the weight helps keep the recoil down. As a hunter it is accurate enough to hit squirrels humanely. The power level means that Crosman Premiers and H&N FTT can be used with good effect. Avoid super light pellets. My version came with the cocking handle/extension, but the effort is low enough to leave the extension in the box.
