Overview
The Steyr LP 50 is a five-shot, pre-charged pneumatic semi-automatic match air pistol chambered in .177 (4.5mm) and built for ISSF 10-metre precision and dynamic pistol training. Produced by Steyr Sport, the competition division based in Steyr, Austria, it shares much of its design with the single-shot LP 10 but adds a five-round rotary magazine that allows rapid-fire and dynamic disciplines. Highly adjustable grips, trigger and sight radius, together with consistent compressed-air metering, make it a refined club-to-elite level target pistol. RF and HP variants raise the muzzle energy for rapid-fire and field use.
