Congratulations cybershot ! DO let us know how it shoots. In case you have had a chance to shoot foreign makes, please give your opinion on comparison between IHP PCP v/s Morini/ Pardini/ Steyr/ Feinwerkbau/ etc.

BTW, I have a few Qs for you if you don't mind -
1. Did you walk in the IHP Vatva factory and walk out with the PCP AP or
2. Did you pre-book it and the IHP give you a date and time to pick up your piece ?
3. Can any private citizen simply visit the Ahmedabad factory and do the purchase or does one need any "pehchaan" to walk in and purchase ?
4. After you shoot for a while - can you share some info on the capacity of the air cylinder and number of shots per fill ?
5. Post some pix on 5-10 shot groupings etc. ?

Adding some feedback by shankar which I found on another thread (http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6888). He mentions a few features, some comparison and gives his grouping (8-10mm). Perhaps you could use this to benchmark. Another feedback from you will definitely help get a clearer picture.

In the interim enjoy shooting. Have fun!

i had booked my ihp air pistol on october 2010 the gun was ready to be delivered to me after 2 months but i delayed cause i wanted to see their vatva factory but it was not that easy to step in the gun factory i had a superb 'pehchaan' in ahemedabad a friend of mine lives there he contacted so many links finaly one of his friend got permission to go inside the factory i went with him and got my dream gun overall this is the superb indian made comprsd air pistol at affordable price i wil say must buy.
