CP1-M pistol - shot string

[Geoffrey_K]

 I purchased this pistol a couple months ago and shot maybe 50 pellets. I am not really a pistol person so set it aside. Today I pulled it out and was curious how many shots I get from 1 cart.

Basement temp was 75 degrees. I paused 15-20 seconds between shots.

I do not see a way to add an image to this, so here is the link to the string. It is quite a bit longer than I thought it would be.

Geoffrey,
That is an impressive shot string. My pistol only provides 40-45 shots from a single 12 gram cartridge.

surprised me quite a bit

is yours a 22 ? I have done nothing to mine other than shoot it .. I installed the trigger MOD but did not like the TOO short pull to fire so took it out today

Mine is also a 177 in factory condition. I shoot all my airguns in the condition they came from the factory.

Mines about 40 or 50 never really did an accurate count. .177 performs @ 510 fps.

What kind of accuracy are you guys seeing? Mine is just plinking accuracy. Around 1" ctc. Very weird gun in that it will hold dime groups but I consistently see 2 in 10 will be flyers. Tried a dozen different HQ pellets and all are the same. On youtube, rack and loads review of the airforce one trophy (same as the CP1M) he made a comment on the so so accuracy.

I have not done any serious accuracy testing. Using some RWS Hobby 7 gr pellets and the ten shot groups were less than one inch at 11 yards. The grip angle is awkward and needs to be attacked with some files. I have to,postpone any serious accuracy testing until ca. May when the weather warms up.

I am terrible with a pistol, so mostly plink with it. I do plan to test it out to 16 yards which is the distance to my bird feeders. Starlings are KOS in my yard and a short pistol would be easier to wield out a window this winter. I need to check accuracy, though it better shoot less than 1" at 15 yards or I will call it junk and move it along.
