Diana LP8 Magnum - .177

  A monster of a pistol!  
Geoff B - Wirksworth
This is a real beast of an air-pistol - powerful and relatively heavy, but it's beautifully balanced, solidly built, well-made, and great fun. The spring is powerful but no problem when you get used to it, and delivers a real punch. I particularly like the way cocking the gun automatically applies the ambidextrous safety, and the spring-loaded ball that ensures a good seal. The fibre-optic sites are fine, and while I've tried a red dot sight I've reverted to the open sights. Diana is a very reputable German company and the LP8 clearly lives up to their high standards.
