MP-53M Air pistol...what's the story on these?

10m is cheating?

I think you need a smaller target

The hardest part is trying to get an artillery hold with one hand....lol

I picked one up today.

It's... very soviet. Lots of extra grease. I thought the sights on slavia wobbled, until I saw the back sight on it.

It's also HUGE. The rifling is quite shallow on the barrel as well.

Shoots pretty good though...I blast away with mine every night. Made a little target stand out of 1/4" plywood and wadcutters just bounce right off...lol

I've shot a couple rounds. Very good group for a shotgun. The trigger kinda surprised me with a smooth release, so that was nice.

I find it to be very front heavy.

375fps with 8.3gr lead over the chrony....in case anyone cares lol.

Sounds right.

Have you tried a variety of pellets to find out what make and weight it likes?

Yes sir....for cheap bulk the crosman 7.9gr hollow points work really well.

I picked one up a few years ago because of how terrible a handgun shot I was. Huge fun. One of the few Springers here my 11yo n' peers can ####.
